The Venetian Sv. an me Sum it in QBLII' ilirwhman lgvarv l.Yhen we entered high school as Freshmen we had a most idealistic picture of senior life. This is senior life as we saw it in our Freshman year. Wie were all at sea as to what to do when school began on the first morning. As soon as we were given our seats we went to the office to sign up for our studies. A number of the upper class students were very much amused at one of the Freshie boys, who wanted to know if he could take cooking for his fourth study. For the next few days we could see Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors in groups looking at us and discussing what we thought to be 'fourselvesf' A short time afterward we were initiated and that seemed to liven us up considerably, while we also became more acquainted with the students of the upper classes. Wle could see the juniors and Seniors leave the study hall when they saw fit, and while in the study hall they would totally disregard the bell- taps of the study hall teacher, and the many notices of Senior Meetingl' on the bulletin board made us believe more and more of how great it must be to become a Senior. Then came the parties: At the Hallowe'en party especially we amused the older students greatly in our funny garb, while at the Christmas party we also enjoyed ourselves by an entertainment given by the older students. By the end of the year we were all more accustomed to the high school life, and we were looking forward to the next year when we, too, might enjoy ourselves at the expense of the new Freshmen that would enter high school.
