SENIORS In our production of I.ifc at Wesleyan” the Senior Class of ’49 arrives at the pinnacle of a colorful career, one spanning a period of four years of preparation. Its members emerge as the stars of the performance, a place well earned and well deserved. Ever since our introduction into the drama of Wesleyan we have looked forward to the day when we might step into the leading roles. Patiently we worked behind the scenes, watching others, learning through experience. We seized on every word of advice or encouragement, and we crowed with ccstacy over our first bit parts. Our first performance was staged in the Mulberry Street Methodist Church. With the warm reception we re¬ ceived came the glowing and frightening realization that wc were actually in the limelight at last. The show had begun! Gradually wc became accustomed to our exalted roles and settled back to enjoy them to the fullest. All the privi¬ leges and advantages of being starring Seniors were exhausted. Generously, too, we shared advice and experience with our successors-to-bc. We watched with regret the approach of the final curtain, dreading to relinquish our roles, wishing that somehow wc could keep them a little longer. The end of the last act and the rousing curtain call — Graduation! A stirring ovation . . . bouquets . . . fanfare! Wc were a hit! 27
