The Senior as the Junior Sees Him Senior! could you but see yourself as thru the rose-colored spectacles of a Junior! Three years have caused the rosy tint to fade so that we see you almost as you are. We do not think of you as our senior in learning nor yet in age, (for it is hard to admit) there are many elderly Juniors and also many young seniors. We consider you superior to us in the ability to hold your high and respected position with as little application as possible. To study is very childish for a Senior. Not to study is a sort of malady which comes with seniority, the first symptoms of which, we Juniors are beginning to feel already. But it is entirely beyond our comprehension how you manage to brazen it thru on your reputation which is really no better than ours. Books to you are but a dream, while to us they possess the unpleasantness of reality. For you there exists no rules; you tread upon us heartlessly and we bear it, knowing that we will soon rise to fill your place and can then taste the forbidden fruit of the all-powerful Senior. Then here’s to the Senior lad and lass. Who do all others by far surpass ! WINIFRED C. SWIFT. Call • Pa e twenty-four

HE B Senior classes of South High seem to have been dormant until the January class of ’08 entered, then a different atmosphere filled the entire building. Such a class, both in numbers and proficiency, was never before known or heard of in the annals of that institution of learning Never did a class have such a bright outlook ; never did a class accomplish so much as this one. It was a very short time before we were all known by students, teachers and principal; by the students because of our ever studious appearance, by the teachers by reason of our good behavior and brilliant recitations, and by the principal for never being sent to the office but often going there for advice. We finished our Freshman year in fine style, as we could not well do otherwise with such good instructors as Miss Brewer, who taught us, via est longas, and which we have since found to be true : Miss Green made crosses, pluses and minuses on the board EARL HAWTHORNE HAVERSTOCK Presnlcnt Page twenty-six
