EHXEE NIM f 59' A if- On Class Night the Senior procession, flanked by torches throwing off a mystical flame, slowly moves from house to house to bid a last farewell. Finally after the presentation of the Building Fund Check, our gift to Lasell, and the reading of the Class Will and Prophecy, the Seniors form a large circle around the bonfire. Here each house in turn casts into the blazing fire the traditional package which represents their own singular irritations.

R El3llUHlllUIl Graduation arrives too soon. NVe,ve been working toward the day, the hour, so long, but now we'd gladly turn back to live once more the familiar pattern of our college life. We've had so many gifts, lovely ones and gay ones, exciting ones and glamorous ones, but now we are to receive the final gift, the best gift which will allow us to go on prepared and confident. We'll become secretaries, buyers, retailers, shopkeepers, receptionists, laboratory technicians, housewives, equipped with all the knowledge and experience that we've gained during every moment of our college days. The dances, the lectures, the classes, the cramming, the bull sessions, the week ends, the laughter, the tears, the traditions, all have contributed to making us self-assured and ready to face the future: that new job, those wedding plans or more college.
