SENIOR TEARS Although A r'l ' 15 p 1 is past, .pril showers are still flooding the corridors f o Mc Guffey. . The Seniors are just beginning to realize that n ever again will they enter the dear, old, battle-scarred door of McGuffey in Septem- ber, as b ' - ' ' ' mem ers of that time honored institution Never again will the - Y say in June, Well, goodbye, old top! See you in the assembly room in September, for from now on th ' ' ey will be outsiders. As th f ese acts slowly sink in, girls weep copious tears,and even the b - . . . rave,hard hearted boys stealthily wipe thelr eyes Teachers d t d . o no are to refer to McGuffey as being '29 less f th - , or e sobs such a chance remark calls forth, you never heard. Big tears, small tears, medium sized tears, salt tears, go streaming down the cheeks of the woebegone Seniors, Faculty and even the underclassmen, although they are really too young to fully un- derstand, that the Seniors are leaving. Faculty members look especially blue and troubled when they realize that remarkable brilliance and ingenu- ity of the '29 ers is to be henceforth used in foreign fields. To be even more worthy of the large place they hold in the hearts of the facult th ' ' ' ' y, e Seniors are really 'digging-in . Do you see any Seniors dating? Or going to Folkers? I should say not! They are spending all their time working, working, working, so that they improve their minds. They leave this ' ' warning to the gad-about Juniors and lazy Sophomores: While you are yet young and unknown, make a good record, so that by the time you are Seniors you can slide right on through.
