SENIOR HISTORY OENIORS at last! We realized, when we didn ' t get that You-didn ' t ' make-yout ' C-average ' slip, that we were full-fledged, sophisticated seniors — Well, full-fledged, anyway. We elected Violet as our president and we promised to keep our good work up by supporting all drives — particularly the one about putting Green and White on the Color Cup. With Anne Snead as treasurer, we kept the money coming in slowly but surely. Anne Robinson kept our meetings written down according to parliamentary law, and we did our best not to third a motion out of turn. Betty Jefferson was our vice- president, and she did an excellent job of backing us up. Our first task, Circus, loomed before us. We elected Betty Romeo and Phyllis Bagley as co-chairmen, and they did a bang-up job of trying to make our Deep- in-a-Dream come true to entertain our Violet, who was the Queen of Circus. fiockey season found us out there on the field, shooting, passing, and dodging, trying to win for Green and White. With Betty Romeo as our captain, we won enough games to help our sister class tie with the Red and Whites on the color cup. Again the knitting fad took over Senior building, and we did our best to get those argyles off to our men before summer set in. Most of us finished, but, of course, there are some who are still working on the toe of the first sock. Senior dance, headed by Betty Jefferson, is said to have been the best dance of the year, and we all thank Betty for the hard work and huge success she made of OUR dance. Christmas arrived at last, but looking forward to exams dampened our spirits. They were raised, however, when Dean Savage told us that all seniors could come back. Many of our classmates shone in the annual orchesis recital held in February. Among them were Jesse Lee, Jane Taylor, Janie Fox, and Griz. Needless to say, we were very proud of their excellent per- formances. Senior sing was the next event on our calendar, and we elected the very capable Sugar-Baby to lead us through the skit. This she did after screaming how very stupid we were, over and over again! All of us were thrilled when we found that Ruthellen was to be the Queen of the May Day. Margaret Wall was her maid- of-honor, and there were seven members of our class on the court. We were proud of Marjorie, Violet, Maude, Boo, and Mary Towles, who were very lovely princesses. Basketball and volleyball season arrived, and we were still trying. Joanne Sterling was our volleyball captain, and Lee Robertson was our basketball captain. Graduation finally came. Though we were very sad, we were looking forward to it. We sang our farewell songs in chapel very boldly, and then cried like babies when we looked at the in-coming senior class walk under our arch of caps. We had at last completed our memorable days of college. Now we close with best love to Charlie Hop, who stuck by us and cheered us on for these grueling four years. He did everything to keep our spirits high, and he never failed to be there when we needed him — which was often. To OUR man go our deepest love and sincerest hopes that he will get a class who loves him as much as we do — now and hereafter.
