SEMCDR CLASS ENIQR is but a walking shadow, a poor player who struts and frets his hour upon the stage and then is heard no more. Strutting, fretting--these are accepted senior eccentricities. VVhy is he a walk- ing shadow? Senior has been hurtling through a crammed three years of high school. They were colorful years, marked by tooting the tooter for David T., mumbling Hrhubarbi' in mob scenes for Miss Wheeler, surviving the dissection of grasshoppers, becoming an ardent na- tionalist in his language department. He recalls lecture courses with Miss Drake fstump speeches on bosses, the arts, cheatingj. Miss Bishop early took the wind out of his sails but brought tears when on Lincolnis birthday she read about Senior's patron saint. After that he always detected the twinkle in her reprimands. And when Mr. Hepworth took his proctor pin-whewl . . . These are but a few of the instructors who shaped his youth. Oh, he has worked Alike fury, played to the limit, but-it was a nice ride. This last year he has harvested re- wards-Forensic League, Quill and Scroll, Thespians, athletic honors, and art awards. He has been feted by the juniors at the Prom, thrilled by fellow actors at his senior play, enjoyed a zest- ful senior party. He proudly glowed Qgqtlmgaivl wwk OFFICERS CFrom top to bott0rnJ Ed Stevens, presidentg Junior Florell, vice- presidentg Rudy Petereck, secretary-treasurer, Jane Bures, chairman so- cial committeeg Betty Anderson, student coun- cil representativeg Martha Jane Lepper, student council representative. when the school chose his buddies as favorites at the All-School party-Billye june, Helen Beth, jean, Charles, john and Art. Baccalaureate and commencement he will grudgingly welcome-grudgingly, because, though for the world he would not admit it, he is just now seeing sym- bols over the entrances, the chandeliers in the auditorium, and the teacher-and- pupil weathercock. His class sponsors- Miss Annette VVebb, Miss Maude Bishop, and Miss Margarett Graeber- are ready to sink into a comfortable lethargy after shepherding their Hock through. May 2-L looms as the most important date on Senior's 1935 calendar. In the morning he'll trek up to the Hbarnn, now become a swell place to hang around, you knowf' The good old ad- viser will for the last time hand him his alphabet card.

S. will kaleidoscope before him -a jumble of fun and exams, close shaves and big moments-as that night he Hles into Moore Bowl past the daisy chain, parents, and friends. In a haze, maybe a bit teary, Senior will exult- f'The faculty slayed us with exams. Up- perclassmen taunted us through the tender years. But they knew all the time we were keen fellows. Now we're big stuff. Gosh, but it's been grand! And the pageant of commencement will be over. Senior year and high school will be over. The poor player has strutted and fretted his hour upon the stage.
