As the fall season got underway, the prospects of a great senior year seemed even better when three Sion senior girls were nominated for homecoming queen at Rockhurst. The fall was brightened even more when Alyce Johnson, a senior from Sion, was chosen queen. Fall soon turned into winter, with the approach of what would, hopefully, be for many their last Sion ex- ams.

Senioritis Hi Victims . . . the burning of their 30 Days to a Better Vocabu- lary book added a new spark to the meaning of learn- ing, at least fcr an hour or two, while also managing to wind up first semester.
