Senior Saga Four years ago, some twenty-four humble-looking individuals crept into M. A.'s vast halls, their faces portraying mixed emotions: fright, fear, fluster, and a few, felicity. There was little DeLois Johnson, who, due to her extreme height, was unable to reach any mirror. However, in those days, freshmen never bother to comb their hair anyway. John Gardeen even then sprouted out with bashful bow ties and, of course, there were the rest of us, extremely green and having a difficult time locating the elevator. Our frosh year was a gay one what with emptying the pencil sharpeners out the window on some unsuspecting faculty member, surprising the science prof with a tub of water in his closet on April Fool's Day, and executing various other unnecessary escapades. Another highlight that year was the way in which we survived the Mixer, in spite of the assorted death traps the passionate seniors had set for us. We ll perhaps never forget our imposing chapel program which proceeded eloquently until that fatal day dawned clear, but not bright. The soprano of the trio, the bass and tenor of the quartet, and one of the orators were instantaneously stricken with a rare disease and did not appear. What we didn't do in our freshman year we made up for in our sophomore. Our male section increased and for after-school entertainment, they seemed to enjoy sticking screaming girls in waste paper baskets, pushing them to a precarious angle on the stairs, and leaving them there with a fiendish laugh as the principal would stalk angrily up. ( Member the principal?) Most of us were admitted into the Singers that year with the exception of a few who had crept in the preceding year. What fun we had down at G. A. College that windy Sunday with the fellows accidentally running into the girls' dormitory and vice-versa. Do you remember how disheartened we were when we couldn't sing the Hallelujah” Chorus? But we did make up for it on the way home. That bus driver has probably never been the same. Seven forty-five's came in that blithesome year along with its Squawk Court. Moron jokes were in their prime and a lot of us were taking biology, finding an earthworm's five hearts and really messing him up. It seemed that we were also especially humane toward stray animals, domestic and otherwise. On varied occasions the teacher would ask for the predicate noun in the fifth sentence and receive a muflled Me-yow!” as a retort. Or in geometry, a frightened but curious garter snake might meander out from its prison. The symphony season was spiced up that year by our aspiring class and our mastication of peanuts and olives during the course of the program. That incident almost proved destructive and so did Prof. Another unforgettable event was the hayridc we fixed up out at Oak Grove Riding Stables. It was that night the girls discovered that the age of chivalry was definitely obsolete. After the ride, or rather the hike for the women, some went to Excelsior in a coupe and others piled in a Chevrolet, driving down by the river with a high-powered flashlight. Oh, were we mean! Twelve
