Four years are tucked under the belt of another tired, battle weary, and decrepit lot of seniors, who will be glad, in a way, when the year is over. It seems to be a common mal- ady. The members of the class take consolation, however, in the thought that they will be missed. In order to assure that they will be remembered with the proper respect, this up and coming class plans to put the 50.06 in the treasury to good use by leaving a gift to the school, perhaps in the form of a tree, with something appro- priate engraved on it. No decision has been reached on this matter at the time of printing, however. This year's senior class is of course the most outstanding ever to spend four years on the Whitman campus, for even in their last year they can boast of having members elected to such high offices as president and vice president of the student body, and other things too numerous to mention. The class has done all the usual things in an outstanding way. They have put on outstanding Moonshine dances, out- standing soclc dances, outstanding tennis court dances, out- standing flops, outstanding rainy picnics, and study expedi- tions fof a scholarly naturej to Kooskooskie. They have also produced outstanding scholars, having had many members selected for Phi Beta Kappa, outstanding honorary. The class of 1953 can boast that it has usually managed to be quite in debt, especially after the junior prom. The prom lcing was elected president for the next year, however, and are at present six cents out of the mire. They can proud- ly boast that few classes can equal this record. As the seniors withdraw their capable leadership and leave the management of college affairs in the hands of in- experienced underclassmen, they wish the best of luck to those remaining. Ir has been a lot of fun. ABOVE: Left to right: ANDY MOORE, DON JACOBSON, DAVE COTTINGHAM, DICK SAULS- MAN, BILL STRANGE, BILL Coucz-1.

unior Cjfaafi The Junior Class spent most of the first semester thinking up money-making ideas under the mercenary and capable leadership of president Scott fBonesj McFadden. The first scheme of raffling off two dinners proved successful and was followed shortly by the Sweetheart Swing held on Valen- tine's Day. The main feature of this dance was an auction and again the class came through with flying colors. The object of raising money was for the Junior Prom honoring seniors, given near the end of March. Ann Inman and Vern Schacht were chosen to reign over the Prom, entitled the Crystal Ball. A spring picnic topped off the year. Aiding Bones were officers Kaye Trantow, vice-president, Gwen Dol- phin, secretary, and John Corker, treasurer, and the council, which consisted of one representative from each of the social groups.

This council carried on all business concerning the selling of the green dinlcs to Freshmen and a dance held in the Student Union Building. Led by their ofiicers, Paul Panagakis, presidentg Marilyn Bundy, vice-president, Helen McKay, secretary, and Carl Clark, treasurer, the Sophomores ratified a constitution for future Sophmore classes.

Under the direction of president Louis Clayson, vice-president Jaon McClane, secretary Donna May, and treasurer Dean Lodmell, a constitution was drawn up with provisions for an Executive Council representing the social groups.
