Of Interest To Seniors January 28, 1944. Coming back to college and watching my classmates ar¬ rive for graduation activities was a pleas¬ ure I have been anticipating for several months. Although Norma Mezick and Mildred Murphy were in town earlier, Marylee Ruark and I were the first to greet each other on the campus. Dottie Wanex and Edna Schmick arrived soon after and from then girls came one by one until Mary Jane Wood dashed into the social room just before dinner to make the class complete. Our Senior dinner was high-lighted by the unveiling of a portrait of ' Miss Ruth, presented by the Alumni Association. The beautiful life-sized portrait was painted by Miss Dorothy Mitchell and hangs in the middle of the paneling at the front of the dining room, a fitting tribute to one whose service has been long and faithful. January 29, 1944. The music was really being played for us. We were the Seniors who were to file in stately proces¬ sion to the stage. We were the Seniors to whom Dr. Katherine Jeanne Gallagher was addressing her words. We were the Seniors who were listening to the com¬ forting wisdom of MacDowelTs At Part¬ ing. We were the Seniors who responded to Dr. Caruthers ' last command, Candi¬ dates for the Degree of Bachelor of Science, arise. We were actually holding our diplomas in our hands. We heard the opening bars of our Alma Mater and stood, as was our habit. We sang, and the words became our promise of loyalty to the institution that was the Alma Mater we were leaving. The music announced the time for our departure and we marched out of the auditorium as yet unable to grasp the reality of the scene in which we had just played title role. Monday we go back to our schoolrooms as college graduates. We are no longer cadet teachers. We are teachers! We have attained the state for which we were reaching when we wrote our names on registration cards in September, 1940. ELLEN LIBIS. 17
