WHERE WERE THE OTHER SENIORS?

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

The most important event in the Senior year, next to Class Day itself, is the election of class officers. It is then that those men are chosen whose duty it will be to represent the class and hold it together after graduation. It would seem logical that every Senior would have a substantial interest in selecting officers who are to hold their positions for life. Unfortunately the classes are large and scattered, and the war has broken into their continuity; but this only increases the duty of each member to avail himself of the facts and then to act.

Yet apparently the members of the Class of 1919 evince little concern in the choice of their officers. Only ninety-one. Seniors betook themselves to the polls Tuesday. The selection this minority made is excellent; the tie for first Marshal testifies to the soundness of the nominations. But can ninety-one men actually represent the opinion of any class.?

Next Tuesday the Junior and Sophomore classes will join the Seniors at the ballot-box. We hope they will prove more interested in their elections than were the Seniors.
