THE TWELFTH GRADE The long-looked-forward-to senior year arrived at last for the members of the Class of 19-ll, and after nine months which seemed to fly by, it was over. Although we were only half' way through the lfour Year College, still the senior year seemed to be the culmination of one period of our education and life, with the beginring of another loorring ahead. The class has always been well represented in extra-curricular activities. This year as Seniors we played the leading parts in most of the activities. The first and biggest social affair put on by the senior class was the Senior-Alumni Dance on December 21. A large percentage of the Seniors and the Alumni for many years back attended the dance. The big man of the hour was Santa Claus. Coming in on a sled, he established himself in a comfortable chair at the North Pole and gave out presents to a few lucky people. A few of the I110l't' clever people pierced his disguise and discovered him to be none other than the warden, lid Ford. Those who decorated the gym for the dance did an especially good job in the opinion of many who attended. Page 23

The subjects of the class meetings were mainly related to graduation. The white dresses and suits vs. caps and gowns question became red hot. ln the hrst vote caps and gowns wong but a petition from the other side was accepted by the administration, and a signed ballot was taken and white suits and dresses were victorious. 'l'here was much discussion about the class gift. lt was finally decided that the class gift would be a trophy case for the 'cups our interscholastic teams have been winning. Mr. Keohane, the class adviser for the Sophomore and junior years, again helped to solve the problems of the class. 'l'he problem of choosing a col- lege and the cut problem seemed to be the most talked about. 'llhis year was climaxed by the Senior Class Dinner on .lune 2, the lfacultyfen- ior 'l'ea on Il une 6, and of course, the Con- vocation on nl une ll. Alter our companionship ol' from one year to more than twelve in some cases, we turn over our responsibilities to the class behind us and prepare to take new responsibilities upon ourselves and to try to match in later years our high level of attainment in high school.
