Is this the ideal Senior? Ao' 10 be sure these qualities are essential, but an ideal senior must? more than that. The Seniors are the ones thkt are always looked to and imitated It is up to them to set the high stand ard, and to live daily so that if they are modelled after, their followers B.0t f? fmr wrong. I, the Sen iors cheat on examination, it is only toman nature if the boys and girls in the lower grade, say, "the Seniors do it, I can too." The Seniors are constantly watched because 0f the fact that they are Seniors and that makes it more neces sary that they be on guard. They should hold their standards high for Tow!1 S? "tendards of the Seniors go down the triumphant banners of the are lowered and its good name trampled m the dust We do not want a dignified Senior to model a ter, nor do we care for their im Partant airs, for these characteristic, are above us and would be unbecom ing to ua We want to model after hemors that are good, loyal, frank, sincere and true. This kind we are wjng to follow, to admire, to love, Wend? f?r ?Ur These are the characteristics that! can be seen outwards, but the ideal Senior has many inner virtues which ?e always admired. At heart the Senior should be ambitious and al ways strive for the highest attain ments, ambitious to rise in the world The S.wV0' the S8ke of Spring the thirst for applause, but for the aake of serving humanity in the true estand highest way. He should strive for building his character on solid foundations that it can stand the storms that come in after lfe. He should try to do the things which command the admiration and respect of his fellow students. He should forget his self-important ,irs and be considerate of the feelings of other* He should strive for the highest hon ors possible, and labor tor the best interests of his school and class and try to make the glory of his school higher and purer because of his being there. A Senior should inwardly have self-confidence, should feel sure of himself on every occasion and nev er for one moment harbor the idea of! failure but ever push forward to some gh goal, ever laboring, hoping, as piring and in the end attaining it Finally the ideal Senior should have a. true conception of life and humanity, should understand and sympathize with his co-mates, lending a helping hand when possible to his less fortunate, struggling brother, helping him when on the rocky shores of ill fortune and trouble and letting their hearts throb together in as true and genuine sympathy as ever beat in the heart of w?ap.
