tS5lMI?§Q )eniorism m OSSIBLY the idea has never occurred to some that being a Senior is an honor. It is an honor, for the fact that it represents the best efforts of a man who has been ambitious to such a degree that hard work and self-denial could not be considered as such, during the long, hard years s]5ent in study to enable himself to attain this acme of perfection. Now that the goal of his ambition has been attained, he is still just in the position where he was during his Freshman year, that of indecision as to whether he is possessed of sufficient ner e and gray matter to conquer the numer- ous difficulties and disappointments that are ahead of him. Thus it can be readily seen that the ups and downs of a dental education are numerous and the fact that they are numerous causes a Senior to look back and wonder how he ever had the good fortune to accomplish what he has. In view of the fact that there is a serious side of college life, there is also a humorous side as well. Going into the Senior laboratory any day one will find it a busy scene of industry. Now and then the atmosphere will become blue, as some poor chap has the misfortune to burn his fingers or the solder fails to run in the proper place. One of the Seniors ' favorite pastimes is to drop a facing or crown on the floor and after a futile search intermingled with imprintable language, Mr. Senior slowly and sadly comes to the realization that his hard work and facing are memories of the past and he feels so discouraged that he begins to rue the day that he decided to study dentistry. Then again, if the Senior wants exercise he takes a tramp through the slush and mud up to the Dental Depot to obtain teeth for a plate. After hax ' ing the fun of picking them out, he hoofs it back to the dear old laborator} ' . Ah, everything is bright and rosy now. He ' s going to make a plate perhaps. The Jinx thinks otherwise to such an extent that he gets the Senior ' s goat. A tooth is ground too much, then he loses a tooth on the floor and finally he winds up by breaking the model. .Vfter a masterful outburst of profanity the noble Senior grabs his instruments, slams them in the drawer and says To H with the plate, let the patient wait. ' ' And the patient usually does. Such is life. Shoot a quarter. Come seven, come ' leven.
