You took a big part in the clubs and societies and the publications and the aames but you hit the books too be- cause there was always the little gnawing thouaht that at the end ot the year you would have to ao to colleae or aet a job. You got some help in choosina a career from Dr. Stanforth and about November and December you beaan to receive a steady stream ot mail from colleaes and universities. You found out what the inside ot the library looked like and where they kept the books, When you were applyina tor college and jobs you worried a little when others got offers but when you were accepted everything looked Swell aaain. You were on the list ot twenty tour, nom- inated lor :senior clam: otiicerss but the coveted presidency of the araduatina class fell to Geoiae Martini. lolin lloraan was elected vice- prersident, Don Weston, treasurer, and lane Dorsey, secretary.
