THE SENIORS First in the rank of honor comes Mary .Morison, who although one of the babies of the class, holds the coveted position of President of the League, which position everyone agrees she has filled admirably. Perhaps she is n Lit too tender-hearted with offenders against the rules liter methods having been considered ineffective by her severer classmates! but we easily forgive her because she is really so good Matured, even when actually writhing under the taunts of her classmates. Her dramatic record is an i nviable one, and would not all of us just love to be so unsjlfconscious. Here's to you, Peter, good luck! Next in rank comes Nancy Van Slyke. our class president. No one deserves this honor more than Nancy, who has Itcen at Northrop since kindergarten days. Her mild pleadings for good behavior on the part of her flighty charges is not always heeded, sad to say. What study period would In complete if Nancy did not send even our most earnest students into gales of laughter by her witticisms? We cannot do better as a parting gift than to add to her own. our prayers 3nd many assurances that she will surely see the gates of Vassar” next year. We must continue by naming the last of the fa nous trio. Nancy. Mary and Caroline. One of Cal’s chief claims to notoriety is her undy ing enthusiasm for entertainments of all kinds, and her ability to make them a success. It has often Ixx-n a hard pull to make the seniors wake up to the fact that whatever is to Iw given is only a week off and everything must be arranged immediately. If not engaged in work like this. Cal either lias her nose in a math book, doing next week’s assignment, or is sitting on the radiator waiting for someone to hand her her coat ami drag her outdoors. Never mind. Cal. we all envy your ability to be lazy successfully. Victoria has our ceaseless admiration !»ecnusc of her unfailing cheerfulness. No matter what the conditions she always has a smile and something funny to say. even at the end of the day, when she is usually falling asleep. At athletics she shines, especially when strength counts, of which she has a marvelous amount. In fart there is hardly anything Vick won’t attempt to do at least once. Oh. yes. she has faults, (her abruptness scares everyone to death) hut is there anyone, even in our class, who hasn’t? How Charlotte can assimilate the number of books that she docs, and carry about six subjects will always be a cause for much discussion among us. There seems to !«• hardly a piece of literature one can name which she has not read, and, oh. her enthusiasm! She nlwuys is doing some piece of work that most of us dread to think of. and as eager about it «s a busy her. Incidentally the end justifies the means, for Charlotte’s marks are not to be sneezed at. I«el us hope that in the future she will Ik able to condense her supply of know ledge, so that her themes will not exceed twenty pages. One thing wc all admire about Thorny is her poise in social circles and for that matter everywhere. When the day comes that we appear to as good advantage as she. wc may indeed feel pleased with ourselves. I’a.cr Tttdve
