THE RED A D WHITE VOL. XXXV JUNE, 1949 NO, 3 Editorial LOIS DAVIS, '49 It's bad enough to be treated like a freshman when you are a freshman. Now that you're a senior, you're go- ing to let the world know it more than by the letters on your sweater. You're on top and every little underclassman is going to have to go through four years just as painfully as you did. Who's going to make it hard for them? . . . You are, you, the high and mighty seniors. Well, you'1l probably get away with it. But in making other people your playthings perhaps you've forgotten that toys are breakable. You were a toy once and will be again but you forget that now that you're a high and mighty senior-a person of privi- lege. Being a senior does bring certain privileges, but they, in turn bring their responsibilities. It took you four years to reach this charmed spot, and something was happening all the time. Some of it was very painful, partly because nobody cared enough to smooth the way for you. Think back-how many times did you de- clare that, in their place, you'd be more understanding? Well, you're in their place now. And how many freshmen are declar- ing just as indignantly against your behavior toward them? For all the good some of you got out of those four years, you might just have well played truant. Perhaps you've forgotten how you used to be the one to stand around and hear everyone invited to a party ex- cept you. You were expected to be the Great Stone Face-and heart. Or you've forgotten how you gagged when it was you that elders were laughing at. Forgotten how your little unheard voice called out to those a notch above you who didn't pay any attention. Could you have forgotten? And yet you remember other inci- dents-the first time that special someone glanced your way or your first unchaperoned party. Then how come those other memories Went by the board? Have you forgotten to remember how a friendly smile would have made your old clothes seem less conspicu- ous? Or the hand that would have helped you through the misery of those first days in high school? But the smile, the hand, were nowhere to be found. You weren'it asking for much-just
