Senior Class History IVAIN! You might know that school would refuse to open if it did not rain the first day. But as we were dignified seniors, it did seem that even the weather should show its happiness through beam ' ing sunrays. Nevertheless, the fact remain ' ed that we were at long last SENIORS . . . the goal for which we had been burn ' ing midnight electricity for three years. Knowing that this was our last chance to prove our superior inteUigence, we even visited the library a few days, reading up on parallel and the ten best books. Deter ' mined as we were not to let anything come before our blissful study, we overlooked the minor attraction that extra ' curricular ac tivities held. We met our first Waterloo when AKG announced the date of circus. Books were forgotten, and begging paste ' board boxes and wrapping paper for props became life ' s most important job. With Bebe giving the orders and the wonderful seniors backing her up, ths judges had no choice. The seniors had to win with a show that was fit for Broadway. We didn ' t have to worry about our stu ' dies, for we were only two weeks behind, and it would be simple to catch up. Oops! Seems as if we had forgotten the song con ' test, but Virginia George Gershwin Tin ' dall, a shp of paper, a few notes, fewer words, a piano keyboard, plus a hundred odd lusty voices added up to a winning Red and White pep tune. Though not all the classes shared our enthusiasm, we real ' ly felt good — good enough, in fact, to turn our minds to studying. We were so happy over this good fortune that we knew it couldn ' t be true. It wasn ' t! It was time for senior dance. As we were such an extra ' ordinary class, it seemed only fair that our dance be some ' thing extra. We left the details to Mary Ann, who came through in fine style. We successfully gave the dance in the dining hall minus tables. Back to school after Christmas meant back to exams. We begged our professors for mercy; somehow they had gotten the mistaken idea that we had studied all along. Still our time could not be devoted entirely to study. We were to be capped. We had begun to think the cap and gown factories had been sabotaged. Proudly we donned our gowns and became officially seniors as we were capped by Dr. Lancaster. The days remaining overflowed with plans for the future and odd jobs of the present. Amidst the turmoil we managed to survive and to give our Alma Mater the farewell she so truly deserved. We were not worried. With Miss Dabney, our ad ' viser, and our capable officers, we knew it was impossible to stray from well ' paved paths. So with mingled emotions of sadness and happiness we leave S. T. C. We may not have been her best class, but we have tried.
