It will be with pleasure and with regret, too, that we shall remember the hundred and one events of our senior year. The old school, the students we have known since we were freshmen, the daily grind of nine periods. studies. and a myriad of things that we once thought it would be good to leave. But now? Somehow we wouldn't mind staying on a little and continuing with the adventures of the past year. Especially weid like to live over the Seven Wonders. Election of Senior Officers! How systematic and Msenioryn it was. There were five parties in the running. 'lpopv said that was quite unusual. For a whole week the excitement was kept at high tension while the campaign manager of each party tried his best to make the candidates of that party seem the best of all. Every day public opinion shifted. One just couldn't tell who would win. The night before election there was a grand rally over in the auditorium. Everyone was there. Each manager, by way of entertainment, entered a last eloquent plea for his man, and the rally was over. Came the dawn of the next day--f--election day! The polls opened promptly at eight-thirty. All day long voters were seen in the print-shop casting ballots. The election board was very busy, checking each senior to see that he had registered and keeping all uinfluencesi' away from the ballot box. By three-Hfteen over ninety- eight per cent of the class had voted. The counting left two candidates for each oflice in the running. More tags were given out, and more decorating was done. The Hnal vote was taken. and senior class elections were over. Then the rings and pins camel It seemed as if .every jeweler in town had sent a display. Weren't there a lot of them? There were big ones and little ones. white T173
