T H E P E A N U T 9 3 4 Alice Yates Olivia Yates ON BEING A SENIOR Upon entering school last September second, a so-called dignified Senior, for the first time I hung my coat in the well-known and cherished Senior home-room. As you can imagine, 1 was feeling a little proud. But after a day or so the feeling wore off, not suddenly as it had come, but more gradually. The Senior Class began to realize that it was the leader of the High School and consequently began to assume responsibilities and to take a prominent part in various activities. The first important events of the year dealt with football. A large number of Senior boys turned out to help Suffolk High carry through its schedule. A capable and responsible Senior managed the team through the season. No one else had to be called on to do the work. Likewise in baseball and tennis a Senior managed the teams. With the election of class officers the Seniors felt a deeper responsibility than heretofore experienced. We realized that a successful year depended largely on the choosing of capable officers. This is true of under-classes also, but their elections usually end in popularity con¬ tests, regardless of leadership, ability, and other essentials. While shaking of officers. I might add the fact that Seniors fill a numlier of the more important offices of the school, such as the Presidency of the Student Senate and certain committees therein, the management of ticket sales, etcetera. Thus in such a manner the Seniors rolled through their various activities with great success. But it was not until February that we discovered our greatest drawback—the lack of scholastic enthusiasm. Alas! it was too late for some. The others, however, with some few exceptions buckled down to studies for the three remaining sessions of school. Then, following the jubilant Junior-Senior reception came that event, long hoped for. and so suddenly a memory. It is hard for a Senior to express his or her feelings toward Commencement. Some recklessly exclaim that they will be only too glad to leave high school forever, but such a declaration does not follow from any serious thought. A Senior looks back upon the happy moments experienced within these walls, also the sad moments, when the world looks dark—then, a9 a ray of sunshine passes through a class-room window, all seems bright again. These are all cherished memories, stamped in our hearts by four years of instruction in the same building. However, it will not be with tears in cur eyes that we Seniors will leave. There is something greater for us to look forward to. After all Com¬ mencement is only the beginning. 17
