. . . . SAL iii our SE 101: onion: Wvho would have believed four years could pass so swiftly! As for this last ylear, it has flown, from the time We elected capable John Paddock as president, Shirley Kreutter as his able vice-president, efficient Helen Amidon, secretary, and honest Joe Poole, treasurer, till now when we are talking Commencement plans as June approaches. To mention the highlights of the year, after election came that senior smash hlit, the play, Hlieady Made Family, in November, followed shortly thereafter by the election of Queen Ruth and King John who presided at our Hheavenlyi' Senior Ball with its eherubs, knowing and gay. Then we found ourselves deep at Work on this Nlyndersian, which Went to press at Easter time. With our return from vacation, will come the Scholarship Exams, perfected plans for Commencement, final parties and then the graduation of the Class of Forty-Seven from M ynderse. As We look back, pleasant memories of classes, games, concerts, dances and contests fill our thoughtsg sadness creeps into our hearts that we must leave all this. We feel deeply grateful to all those who helped make our year successful. We thank especially Miss O'Brien, our adviser, who guided us competently through the difficulties of our senior year, assisted by Bliss Smith and Miss Hammond-all three being our senior homeroom teachers.

JACK A ll JILL CON ULT ITH tlUll ADVI ER l Miss JULIA H. O.BRIEN I've been asked for my impression of the present senior class. That would be a difficult assignment any year, for all classes are different. However, it seems to me they follow a certain patterng senior year marks their coming of age. The reason doesn't lie entirely in their greater age so much as in their sudden realization that graduation, a must in their plans, is just around the corner. Then it is that they find they can assume greater responsibilities and do. This year reflects the post-war era in the return to school of many veterans, Who brought a maturity of thinking that has made a distinct contribution to class discussions. Since they have been to many places we talk about, we have learned much from them. Although many lived dangerously in the War, these G.I.'s have adjusted themselves to the peaceful tempo of Mynderse teen-age life very Well. ln general, the seniors have pooled their abilities to make their schedule of activities successful. They have talent and scholastic skills in abundance. However, as one who has Worked closely with them, I can say that they are comfortable to Work with-creatures H., . not too bright or good For lnnnan nature's daily food. JULIA H. OYBRIEN, Senior Class Adviser 11
