Qs-Seniors Qditoriol. The senior signed her name to the paper she was writing and leaned back wearily. She had finished another Special Topic. Let me see, she sighed, that committee meets here in ten minutes and after that I must go out and ' ex' and then it will be time to dress for dinner. She dropped down on the broad couch by the open window and as she did so some fresh- men went by on their way to the glen for violets. What a short time it seemed since she was a freshman and what happy days those were, though we didn't always think so then. Perhaps we did do some rather fresh things, but on the whole our self-appreciation was mostly justifiable. We heard so many favorable comments on our abilities that it is not much wonder we grew rather proud. There came a time in our sophomore year, however, when it did occur to us that it would be well for the faculty to remember the old saying about Jack. Comej' called the girl, in response to a knock. Come out and have a game of tennis, said the intruder. ff Oanltg have a committee meeting in a few minutes. What a nuisance, grumbled the girl, closing the door. Youire right, there, remarked the senior, returning to her reverie. Sophomore year, how we did work that year! Aside from our Trig- onometry Ceremonies, the only thing I distinctly remember is an awful feeling of having an infinite amount of work to do in a finite time. Then came the Junior year, that's rather the best of all. Juniors are not promi- nent, but then they're not worked to death, and they're not responsible for the toneJ' of the college, and yet being next to the seniors they have about the same privileges with less responsibility. A Still it's rather nice to be a senior and be at the head of things generally 5 to have a parlor of our own, where we can entertain the minister and other worthies who happen to please us, and where we can have Friday after- noons, when we want them, to have a corridor where we can throw off our dignity and do as we please when there are no callers in the parlor. QThere generally are.j Then thereds the Faculty-I suppose that's the lec- turer out walking with Prexy now. Looks rather interesting. I suppose wedll have to go and hear him, as we are to meet him at Prof. -'s re- ception afterward. Yes, the Faculty do seem to have quite a little respect for us now, in fact their attentions were quite overpowering the first part of the year, but we are more used to it now. After we had been to tea at the President's the limit was reached and we all felt that nothing could be nicer. We- Come. Oh, is it you Miss S. ? Come in 5 I think the others will soon be here. C9
