The Senior Class Tlcus with an airy wave of the hand and a ring of cigarette smoke, Bub Hicks announced ' to the faithful Flora. thfat their engagement was at an end. In like manner, Vanderbilt-from Chance and Uncle Jack to the very freshmen within our gates-is gathering itself together for one final, chill shrug of the shoulders to accompany the cutting words- Seniors, it's all off! LORA, it's all off! Four years have we been faithful to the gold and black, four years have gambollecl over Dudley Field, trailing clouds of glory and of gore, four years have we carolled soulfully in the name and for the lasting fame 'of Vanderbilt and the Glee Club, and four years have we striven unceasingly to give the faculty something to think about.

Oh, no in- deed! They did not grow out of personal vanity, but out of la. sincere desire on the part of their unselfish owners to shed glory on their class and their Alma Mater. When it comes, however, to the things that have impressed us most, to the mile-posts of our four years' race, which is all but run, what will we remember longest? The Logic exam, freighted with the happy spots and the woeful traditions of -a score of years, when we, as ia class, sat on the mourners' C323
