OFFICERS OF SENIOR CLASS Harriet Grant Esther Pease Ruth Frost Beatrice Briggs President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Memorabilia Seniors! Now that we are counting the days instead of the years before we shall leave our Alma Mater, we — sad, philosophical creatures of tradition — at last have assumed the attitude of the retrospective. We begin to summon the experiences of the past four years and to give theni proper mental hie, lest we forget. Freshman days: days when life was decidedly in the anticipatory stage, for who could conjecture with any degree of certainty the next opportunity which the Sopho¬ mores might give us to display our inherent or acquired talents? Sophomore days: the tables turned, for suddenly we realized how collegiate we were, and how it devolved upon us to train others in the way they should go. Junior days: upperclass dignity, “little” sisters, the things called privileges, Colon¬ ial Party, and finally, caps and gowns. Yes, all in one year. And now, it has been a strange and wonderful experience, this being a Senior, but our last year has been the busiest, the happiest, and the dearest of them all. We in¬ trusted ourselves to the hands of Harriet Grant and Doris Cooper, an d wisely have they guided us through the narrow straits of Senior-dom. It is with a bit of the wis¬ dom of the sages, a bit of the consolation of philosophers, and very much of the wistfulness of Seniors that we realize college days will soon be — only memories, but surely, “Memories that ne’er shall fade.”
