THE SENIOR CLASS Last year in my letter I expressed the hope that we, as Seniors, would do our best to be good leaders, leaders who would set the best possible example for underformers and New Boys. During our under- former years we had always been thought of as a class with high potential that we had never quite realized. ln the summer between our Junior and Senior years we matured and became ready to assume our new responsibilities as upper-classmen. It is a well-known fact that we are in a period of transition here at Shattuck. Gone are the days of the old New Boy System when the Seniors ruled with an iron hand. Now we are adopting a far more constructive system whereby we try to help out the boys in their first year. Some of the members of our class have failed to see the value of this change, but it is impossible to get a clear view of the picture from such close range. l believe that it will be a change for the better. As the time for our graduation draws closer, we will all be sorry to break up the friendships we have formed here at school, but we know that we will be leaving the school in good hands for next year. The Junior class has chosen its officers wisely, and to them we wish the best of luck. We can all look back with pride on our Senior year and look forward to many happy reunions on the Shattuck campus in years to come. President of the Class of 1953 Za fe, 22
