HIGH SCHOOL SENIORS As the school year opened the fourth class swelled the assemblage of the senior department. They were seniors at lastg they had reached the upper decks. No more restrict- ed walks or rooms for them: they were superior and made the lowly minims acknowledge them as such on initiation day. Intellectually bent, many mounted the stage on literary nightsg musically inclined, some shouldered in among the veterans of the glee clubg athlet- ically strong, others held their own on campus or gym. The subject of American history suited them, but physics was the cause of many clenched fists and gritted teeth. Yet the fourth class did not always look at the serious side of seminary life, but con- stantly also at the jovial side. Tricks, jokes, pranks, were frequently pulled. Riotous laugh- ter always announced their presence and well-developed, though somewhat ridiculous, argu- ments were always in session.
