L. to R. : Carol Sheldon, Elizabeth Overton, Claire Doyle, Peggy Hanna Brooks, Billie Kirchner Senior Class Officers IT WAS a little hard to realize that those front chapel seats were for us and that we were really at last the class that goes first in line every time. We hadn ' t exactly been looking for- ward to it — it was more an event that seemed too far in the future ever to speculate on, but with the fall of 1945, there we were, heading the list of the four class-day celebrations with our own official cap and gown ceremony. This was a crisp, cold day in Novem- ber, and a pleasant combination of ex- citement plus tradition made getting up at 6 :00 a. m. for the gowning ceremony in Senior Hall one of those long-to-be- remembered occasions. The speaker at the noon assembly was Dr. George W. Denny, and the evening entertainment, peculiar to class days at Madison, had a little hint of coming nostalgia for the easy swing of school life. We were beginning even then to hold this life a little closer, because we didn ' t have any more next years to talk about. With an almost unwanted dignity thrust upon us, we ' ve been meandering about the campus this year, attending to the various odd activities that concern us as seniors, and not really even com- prehending that this just doesn ' t go on forever. Claire Doyle is the girl we ' ve been glad to call our president ; there ' s just no one like her. The excited rush of Commencement has set the fatal seal upon us, and we graduate from Madison College, anxious f o start on something new, yet hesitant pbout irrevocably ending such a pleasant phase of living. 18
