Senior Class Traditions
Senior traditions are hard to de-
fine although not hard to catalogue.
The donning of the sweater in the
fal,, the wearing of caps and gowns
jr. the spring; the senior rings, the
Commencement Week activities, the
crowning of the May Queen and the
bestowing of the daisy chain on the
juniors, the class gift to the college,
the Senior Week social activities
with the week-end at the lake, all
these are senior traditions in T.W.C.
I Trying to find definite dates for
the origin of these traditions is an
almost impossible task in some
cases, but in the case of the sweat-
er ceremonial it is easy. A Haijd-
out November 192.1"*carried a
,story about the senoirs receiving
their sweaters from the hands of the
sophomores little sisters in a striking
ceremony. The lead of this article
states that this ceremonial will be-
come traditional in T.W.C. and that
the class of '23 is consciously estab-
lishing a tradition.
Donning caps and gowns for Wed-
nesday chapels some time in the
early spring#is perhaps a compro-
mise with the olden idea that all un-
dergraduates should wear caps and
gowns. There is no record of the
beginning of the service of award-
ing the robes to seniors at <ihe ham

Why study?* College is what you
make it. You can go through the
motions of attending college all your
life and the benefits you wll receive
will amount to practically nothing ii
you do not study and apply yourself..
It's easy to get by. That is, it's easy
for those to get by who make *a col-
lege a profession of it. Glib tongues
and slick maneuvers do the trick.
But ask yourself this question,
"What have" I learned by just merely
getting by?"
Are you one of. the type that gets

didn't assign anything and therefore
you won't'have to study that nigh?t
If you are, the sooner your trunk is
packed, the bigger the favor you are
doing yourself, for it is certain you
will not succeec} in college.
It is true that it is sometimes du-
ficult to study. May.be you "are
working your way through school.
Mayba you are participating in too
many extra-curricular activities.
Perhaps there is too much to see
donwtown ever ynight, or. maybe
you've fallen in love. But whether
or not you are afflicted with any of
these maladies ycju must study if you
hope to succeed in 'life.—-Houstonian.
