jTall ii)istorp joys 10W8 even for so short a time as three months? Thoughts of this our Senior year were v;th us long before we entered school in September. We have always looked forward to our gradu- ating year with joy, but with a certam amount of sadness, too. However, duriiig the first few days of school I his sadness was completely hidden by the important air which every Senior possessed. This one thought predominated: we aie .Seniors, and upon realizing this we im- mediately became several inches taller; even those of us who had not grown an inch in four years suddenly became very large and important — m their own estimation. We roamed around school with a self-confident air and complacent sm-.le, looking upon the lower class girls, especially the rats, in a thoroughly patron- izing way. This did very well for a few days.

Owing to the fact that our Junior President did not return until a month after school opened, we were rather late in organizing our class. However, when the time for election of officers did come, even the air was charged with excite- ment. At 5; 30 all was over and we boasted of Louise Ford, the best all-round girl in our class, as President. In a meeting soon after we decided to keep the motto, colors, and flowers which we had during our third and Junior years. For the sweet pea, lavender and green had become dearer to many of us than any other flower or colors could be, and all agreed that How good to live and learn! is a motto well worth living by, not only throughout all our school life, but in after life as well.
