HEIHEIHBEH... There was something distinctive about senior class rooms. Wlieri one went into rooms 10, ll or 16, he was aware that it was a seniors' sanctum. The attitude was different although the traditional dignity was sometimes lacking. Those who were spending their last year in high school usually had one of two aspects regarding that last year. lt was either Well, this is the last year and Tim finally there,'y or f'This is it and, Iim going to make up for those other years and go out in a blaze of gloryf, Even an unsenti- mental borderline case began to re- gret not having worked or crowded more fun into the already overcrowd- ed and fast disappearing year when baccalaureate a n d commencement found him standing with his class- mates for the last time. hlany inci- dents are forgotten, some better so, but 40 years from now it will be pleasant to look back and remember some of the things which at the time of occurrence seemed best in the past tense. There was senior English in wihich Mrs. Paxton expounded American literature to future college students, future soldiers, future bread- winners and also future housewives. Whether or not it took some seniors a whole term to learn that Whit- man's characterization was The Good Gray Poet it didn't matter be- causes when finals came that ques- tion like all the other thousand and one I. Q.'s was a cinchf ?Q. P. D. was another required sub- ject. Une didn't get a diploma if NOW LETVS SEE. IF THE RESISTANCE ARM EQUALS THE EFFORT ARM, THEN THE FULCRUM- NO, THAT'S NOT RIGHT lVIrs. Vairo found out he didn't know the United States was a federal republic or the difference between socialism and commu- nism. Current biographies and term papers presented a headache to prospective alumni, but they emerged with unbowed heads. Under hir. Edwards' supervision physics devoteesmanaged to determine the heat of fusion of ice and to come to the conclu- sion that a test in such a subject required study. Computation was struggled over by students who prayed that Mr. Edwards' compu- tation at the end of the term would be favorable to future en- gineers. lVIonty's assignments in solid and trig were the kind that could make the most militant shoulders acquire a temporary slump. There were eleven in the class and although they Weren't the football team they tackled spheres, pyramids, quadrants and sines. Religious ,education classes every Thursday morning broad- ened our spiritual insight and taught us to tie religion in with our own lives. Then there were the senior boys who took pre-flight from lVIonty. These fellows attended two double classes a week at which they performed gun drill, marching, calisthenics, boxing, and intensive gymnastics. Although the course was designed to build stamina, some of the fellows thought it was debatable as to wheth- er hlonty tore them down or built them up. The students you saw in the front seats in assembly, the ones who looked down at underclassmen, the fellows who shaved and the girls with the most poise, were seniors. When June brought moving-up exercises, those same students were up on the stage looking down on' the rest. If the truth were known most of them didn't feel at all superior but rather envious of you who have another year at Kane High. But that's a deep dark secret shared only by those seniors - who are gone but not forgotten. SENIOR PROJECTS-MANY AN INGENIOUS SENIOR SLAVED OVER THESE E251
