September came, and We entered upon our final year with joyous anticipation of things to be done, an uncomfortable certainty of things left undone, and a positive assurance of things We had to do. Early in the term We elected Class Officers, using for the first time and proving the efficacy of the petition method of nomination. With the election of Donald Berrett, Presidentg Kenneth Small, Vice-President: Josephine Lees, Secretary and Fred Potruch, Treasurer, the Senior body bgan to function as a unit. Rountine Work absorbed the Seniors until the Victory Dance on Nov- ember ZI. Victory proved a good title, for the Seniors accomplished a vllctory in the management of the dance-receiving commendation from the faculty. Although there was much talk and a little Work done about a Senior Vaudeville, it did not materialize. A Mid-years called a temporary halt in school events. Seniors were on their last lap with the beginning of the new term. The girls had a diversion April I7, in the attendance at a tea given by the Moravian Alumnae. Of course the boys were not invited! They would have been out of place posing as tea-hounds. Muddling along with an occasional stir enlivening the school routine, We marked our Senior calendar with the date April 30. April 30! Class Day and Senior Play night for the Class of '26! How the days dragged, and with what impatience We looked forward to that day! Lessons never seemed so tedious as We composed ourselves as best We could to wait for that day to come. It came at last-as all days must.

'l' Il IC t' .X l' l. lb IH! N orable Seniors! Dressed in our Class colors we surely made a striking effect a Wearin' the red and White. Amid much flutter and excitement and shocking to relate-jeers from the prospective heirs, the Will was read, bestowing legacies, warnings and advice upon the lower classmen. After the dismissal of the heirs, the Senior exercises closed with the sound- ing of the Class Prophecy by the Prophets-David Epstein and Catharine Henry. In the evening of the same day Sally and Company was played to a crowded auditorium. The heroine was clever as all heroines are noW-a- days, and the hero was quietly persistent fthe new method--cave methods being obseletel, and the rest of the cast provided a background for the same old story. Sally was repeated the next evening with like success. Early in the last quarter Commencement speakers were chosen. Quiet again-cramming for final exams. We approached them with a mixed feeling of apprehension and regret-and finished them with long sighs of relief. Our Baccalaureate Sermon was preached in the Auditorium, Sunday, June 20, by the Rev. D. Wilmot Gateson. Then Graduation night-We Great and Learned Seniors, capped and govvned, marched down the aisles and up on the stage to the seats of honor rightfully ours, thrilled, but slightly embarrassed, at the prominence given to us. How proud We were of our speakers and their oratory! A solemn moment came when the diplomas were presented, but seriousness passed with the joy of the occasion. At the conclusion of the Commence- ment exercises We Were not High School students any more, but young men and women ready and eager to take our place in line-Whether in College life or in Industrial life.
