All the school's a stage And all the students merely stooges Their acts being but four ages. First the Freshman, and nothing does he know But lives in highest hopes that some day he may grow Then the Sophomore, lording o'er the Frosh, Showing that he's hot stuff' by prattling lengthy bosh Next the Junior, most carefree of the lot, Who hopes to look like Esquire to the smallest check and dot. And last the Senior, tall and bold, Who knows it all and can't be told. And then he graduates at last, But comes back to see the teachers and to talk about the past.

Time goes you say? Oh nol Alas, Time stays, we go. -Austin Dobson Who can say that the senior activities have been numerous this year? No one. But everybody agrees that they were well-done. An excellent example of this was the Senior Play, the produc- tion and acting of which were on a high artistic level. Rita Cook deserves special praise for her splendid emoting , and the rest of the cast should also be commended for their good work. The pro- ceeds from the play helped slightly to finance the Senior Dance, where Marian Williams reigned as Annual Queen. During the year, seniors were infrequently saved from drud- gery by musical assemblies, The most outstanding of these featured the Missouri Choir with Laura Louise Dille as solo violinist, and the Westminster Choir. ln the realm of business, much work was accomplished by the Senior Executive Committee under its chairman Harry l radio- man l Cheshire. Among other things, the committee selected the senior rings, chose the orchestra and committee for the Prom, and sent out announcements for the fatal day in June. lt might be well to mention also some of the more prominent seniors in the field of clubs and athletics. Blanche Gross and Robert l-loffelt deserve a high place for their work in Forensics, Charles Jenkinslshould be' ibut rarely isl praised for his brain-work on the Chip , and l-lelen Steward, president of G. A. A., Marian Williams, G. R. president and Hadley Ray, president of l-li-Y are worthy of recognition for their smooth management of club activities. Notice must be made, finally, of the celebrated heroes of the field and floor, Joe Hennessey and Mel Flint, and of publicity-shy Roy Aston, who was considered by Coaches Douglas and Wagner to be the most promising football player of the year MAPLE LEAVES 'Q
