Senior Class History H-our youthful days? Let's see-yes, of course we were all babies once-ate bread and milk and in fear and trembling did awful stunts for stern, cruel judges. After that-I believe we ventured into politics and elected Fanchon Hathaway president and Marie von Schroeder keeper of the safety deposit vault. Athletics? Why, we defeated our rivals, the Sophomores in the annual basket ball game. That was a day for you! What happened next? There was a banquet at the Thadwa and-of course those days are a bit dim being so many years past. The Sophomore year was very busy with its social, musical, literary and dramatic interests.

Ivy day with its procession and class song in the early morning, followed by a break- fast, Commencement with all its ceremonies and the bestowal of the cap and gown made us feel that we were really attaining at last the awful majesty of seniorhood. Perhaps we felt the profound dignity of it more at that time than during this our last year. We have had such jolly teas every other week and Agnes Williarns, our president, has had so many brilliant ideas for making money that our 'fdignitiesll have escaped our minds. First we had the 15
