Seniors Show Semoritis Symptoms Early in School Life Senioritis is a disease, common among members of the fourth year class, more easily contracted than the common cold, more contagious than measles, and more fun than anything. Sufferers from the disease may easily be recognized by highly held heads and yellow cord trousers and skirts. They congregate in groups before school, they control the high offices in school activities, and they worry about their draft status. They are positive that their play, One Foot in Heaven, is the best ever to be given in Peru and think their senior prom is second only in success to the one they planned during their junior year. Symptoms of the universal affliction are numerous and begin with early high school days. Resistance is lowered by the first Girls League Christmas Dance and algebra exam, by the soph- omore auditorium and transitive verbs, by trading junior rings and selling junior play tickets. By the time they are ready to order caps and gowns, all have succumbed to different degrees. The only known cure is graduation with its merry celebrations and somber procession.
