Aa Killing Ser 135 Father Time has spun his wheel around once more, another year has slipped rapidly by and now comes the parting of the ways, for it is almost time to bid farewell to our Senior class. They have made a brilliant record and have honorably and proudly stood by the orange and black. All members have contributed much to the upbuilding and betterment of our school's standards. As usual we see many faults as well as many virtues and many things that are puzzling to an underclassman. 'VVhy must a Senior after three years of oppor- tunities to study other Seniors still look upon himself as an exalted being? Their benign air of wisdom remains unruffled as they at- tempt to master English lit', or chemistry. Even after a desperate struggle with chlorine, or phosphorus, or Spencer, or Chaucer they remain calm and collected. Their usual air of preoccupation is gen- erally worn to create an atmosphere of deep thinking and lofty rea- soning. Wfe appreciate the fact that all our Seniors have the ability to assume much of the leadership of our school. They have instructed us in guiding our student body government through the perilous pit- falls which so often beset the way of the incompetent, so that next year we may take the reins with able hands. VVe shall miss them and undoubtedly often wish for their return but if we follow their example of industry and school spirit we cannot go astray.
