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

. I pf All day long the rozers were casling their ballots. gold and yellow gold, carved ones and some with stones in settings. How could one tell which was the best? The selection was gradually narrowed to a few, and at last we chose. That ring was made just for us. Our date. Our initials. The steps on the sides were our steps all through school. The eagle was our eagle. The S. H. S. our South High School. Nor shall we ever forget our social affairs. The Senior Get-Together at Town- send Park was our first. Such fun! Nearly everybody managed to be there, and we played and ate and played. Undignified? The boys had football games. The girls played soccer. There were indoor games for all. Did you swing? We remember that someone went for a row on the lake. Someone was bitten by a snake, too. We ate beans and potato salad and hot dogs and pop and ice cream, and-then we went home. That was one rollicking social affair. Another was the Senior Mixer. We all met in the session roomg and when it was time for the banquet, we followed the band upstairs to the lunchroom. It was a 'ldifferentw band, to say the leastfall seniors and all dressed upvor down-in a motley assortment of bonnets, aprons, mismated socks, and trousers of ancient cut. We spent a hectic few minutes looking for our places. and then dinner was served. There were carnival caps and plenty of noise- makers, which very nearly drowned out the music furnished by two violins and a piano. The president greeted us, and then we went down to the boys, gym to see the South-Central basketball game. Remember our parade around the gym? The game was a good one, and from it we crossed over to the girls, gym to dance. There were balloons a la cabaret. it was a jolly occasion. It was interesting to see bow many remembered to wear their colors the first Senior Color Day. The class chose orchid and green from among a number of com- binations.
