K May, 1927 THE CRIMSON AND WHITE Page 23 Senior, is the pride and envy of all other studentsg thc goal of their desire. He is the fruit of much labor. tediously wrought thru several trying years but now at the pinnacle of high school fame and soon about to reduce himself once more into drud- gery as a college freshman. Therefore he must make the most of his role as a Senior, as it is but a Heeting' honor, and enjoy his notoriety and glory while he may.

Page 22 TI-IE CRIMSON AND VVHITE ltfay, 1927 THE SENIORS The inevitable result of four years or perhaps more unrcmitting labor in high school is that stu- dent, commonly designated as a Senior. He is usu- ally prior in age to all other scholars and should be first in dignity. This characteristic of dignity must not be ex- cluded from the category of Upper-class men traits. The omitting of any other quality may be tolerated but dignity, Never! Of all the virtues attributed to Seniors this is the most expected and least respect- ed. Instructors dwell persistently and tediously upon the duty of being dignified in the presence of lesser students. YVhile at the same time these aforementioned lesser ones esteem not one whit the efforts of their betters to elevate their degree of excellence. - The demeanor of other pupils toward Seniors is in proportion to their class ranking. The less ad- vanced classes showing more deference than do the nearer ones. This ensues as a consequent of too much learning and proving the maxim, that fami- liarity breeds contempt. A Senior lacking dig- nity is as bad off before his associates as would be a weaponless man suddenly confronted by a hunted animal. The one would be assaulted and rended mentally as terribly as the other would be physical- ly. I shudder with horror as I think of with what transports of joy the mental downfall of a Senior is received by the inferior beings of this institu- tion of learning. It -seems to east them into an almost unbelievable ecstasy in which they fairly revel. The mishaps of bascr pupils are seldom noticed for they are expected but accidents befall- ing the highest order of humanity in the high school occur so vcry rarely they are all the more conspicuous. School life near graduating time to the Senior is a wearisome existence, only to be endured a few weeks longer. He has received the full amount of benefit from the currieuhnn. and is tolerating study only in order to reccivc a diploma. The drudgcry of books is so fatiguing to his highncss. The petty trifles which trouble other students such aspthc preparation of assignments. 210 slips. ct cetera, faze him not. He slouches calmly and sed- ately over his daily routine. disdaining to hothcr his very large and important head with any such insignificant affairs. but busily engaged with the consideration of his date that night, a very pond- erous problem. The finery of the Senior at graduation is rivaled only by the gaudy dress of the Peacock. He struts and preens himself as that much criticized bird but resembles it not in voice. The mild, mel- low tone ofa full-fledged fourth year man may often be heard resonating thru the corridors either raised in remonstrance of some trivial lesson or bcrating some intolerable lower classman. The word Senior, is a name with which to conjure. Think of the numerous opportunities afforded him to belittle those manifest absurdities, the Freshmen. There is only one curb to the ar- rogance and haughtiness of the omnipotent scholars: that is those who instruct, or as Seniors would say. obstruct the rising generation in their upward climb to manhood. An ample portion of the Senioris minutes allotted for the acquisition of knowledge is often more cre- ditably applied to the momentous question of con- triving ways by which to evade the tortures of the daily routine. Statistics prove that if students de- voted one half as much zeal and thought to out- witting their natural foes, the faculty, as they do to the glorious and inspiring pursuit of the god of books. the teachers would be readily acknowledged as supreme rulers in the kingdom of learning. But as it is ,there is no question whatever but that Sen- iors arc incomparamle and irrcproachable. Some dcludcd humans have been known to insolently term them also unbearable. but in those unprece- dented cases the source must be tolerantly consider- ed. VVhy shouldn't they perceive and bring to light their virtues and general excellent? VVho has a better right? Has not this mentally dominant class thru four wearisome years narrowly evadcd the snares and prejudices of erring teachers, and completely mastered the entire course of study? In the evolution of a freshman into a Senior, the upperclassman has in reality created a remarkable feat. First he had to overcome and suppress the inferiority complex that the lower pupils thru no fault of their own ignorantly and sometimes re- sentfully endure. Until finally the superiority com- plex closed its tentacles about his mind, and bcholdg the lowly freshman is the exalted Senior. How marvelously strong and splendidly faultless is the power of suggestion. Yvhat a change a few years and a little knowledge performs in the mind of the individual. And thus. the finished product. the polished
