THE CLEANER
As the interested Seniors examined
the last pictures, they expericnced many
and various sensations. It was c\·ident
that a few of [hem were glad that they
had reached the last scene although it
meant the parting of the wa~. Two or
three agreed that the)' wi shed they were
just heginning, while the rest were think­ing
not so much of the end but of the
glorious future it opened up to them.
The last scene was laid in a different
setting. Cone was the glass house on
the hill and in its stead was the big
rambling. brown building in its syh-an
surroundings.
The first little gronp that Alma ~Iat(:r
WO\'e in to the Senior picture was thc
Comic Strip Part}" given for the Fl'esh­men.
"Ne\'er did we peel so many toma­toes,
slice so milch ham. or make SO
much potato salad, hut the fun we had
in the College kitchen was adequate com·
pcIIs..,tion."
"Peg certainly looks like a regillar
honsewife. doesn't she? Years fr0111 now.
Peg. you'll wonder why YOIL ever made
snch all early starl."
"Big Walt and Little Skeezix 1l1.,dc
their 3.ppearance 011 the table (Iccorations.
(Clementine loves to cut out paper dolls
-she got her practice making the dec­orations)."
"What are these ghostly looking crea­\
lIres depicted for us in white against
a black background?"
"\Vhy that's the Hallowe'en Party for
the Sophomores."
"This must be the same party later
in the evening. Isn't the Social Room
attractive- the girls brigh ten it tIP so
with their gaily colored costumes. Poor
ghosts! How out-of-place they look."
"\Vho is the girl waving her ar111S and
crying, 'Come Seniors 1 l' (Mayhe we
will he able to remember in years to
come?) And this 1),1.rly ended as all
good I}arties do."
With the exception of a few little
groups here and there the Seniors Il.,d
reached the end of the tapestry of their
College Life. The last week wasn't
WO\'en in for them, but this could easily

so she left a wide space to he filled in by
the girls themselves, who. she felt. would
like to put little individual touches illto
the pictttres before they were recorded.
And now the question that faced thc
Seniors was- where are we going to
hang our tapestry SO that we may all en­joy
it to the utmost? It wouldn't be
complete without the aid of all of us, and
we 111ust all share and share alike.
"Let's hang it in our Hal! of l\ lcm-free

It was the only fair solution of the
problem and the fifteen Seniors hegan to
seek the fairest spot in the Hall u]>on
which they cou ld hang the tapestry of
the four hest years of their li\·es.

Dr. Arnold and General Gordon arc

example of why some of our cleyer
