Our system of supervisors, teachers, and graded classes makes the comparison between Court Life and School Life easy. The Freshmen can be compared to the relatively unimportant pages who spent the time running errands or observing and copying their elders. The more ex- perienced sophomores are one step higher and can be likened to squires, and the juniors, who have over- come numerous difficulties to reach their high posi- tion, are really quite important and can be considered as the Knights of Medieval days. The Seniors, who hold most of the important positions in the school, are of course the Lords of the Manor. Just as the Lords of the Manor were responsible to the dukes and princes, so we Seniors are under the over lordship of our teachers and principal, and as the kings or emperors ruled over all, so our highest authority is vested in the superintendent of schools and the Board of Education. As each position in the Medieval Court system prepared the person for a more important position, so each year of high school helps to prepare us for the next year and finally for the job of living, when we will have to take over the task of governing our- selves. 4 -Q ,..,.-fs .A as-1: S.,-X 4 7 X' E iw!!

ifiriraiin MR. THOMAS GILCHRIST E dedicate this 1952 Seneca to our friend Mr. Gilchrist, one of our favorite teachers. Every senior has been a member of one of his Junior English classes where his lively wit and never failing vigor kept us always on our toes. It was in these classes we really began to work onvocabulary building and were introduced to the plays of William Shakespeare. As Junior Class advisor he guided us through a most satisfactory year. We shall always feel that the success of our Senior Play was due in large part to Mr. Gilchrist's efforts as di- rector and producer.Also included in our memories will be Room Z5, seventh period study hall, and check out. The saying A friend in need is afriend indeed surely fits Mr. Gilchrist. 5
