Class officers F or the last time, the seniors took up their tools and approached their easels to finish the sketch they had begun so many years earlier. For the most part , the lines were already established. Some sketches showed great planning and precision and care in the underlying structure, while others compensated with lavish detail and form . The drawing stage was over, at any rate. Now the seniors settled down to add color to their largely black and white sketches. Lovingly , carefully , they brought out their paint boxes and began to color in the memories that would last a lifetime. The yellow of sunny afternoons on the front lawn made the canvasses glow; the blue of deep, whispered conversations with friends, Senior class officers.

Conscious that they would soon be graduating, the seniors were more meticulously careful of the colors and lines they drew . As the coursework grew tougher and more demanding, the desire to savor every free moment also grew, and priorities seemed to shuffle and refocus. Somehow, suddenly, an hour in a swing with a good friend seemed more important than sleep, or study, or anything else. And so gently, neatly, the seniors sketched on their own and on one another's sketches - line of excellence. And they filled in those lines with the colors of their plans, dreams and memories, till at last the product was complete, and they were ready to move on. 4 -Sherry Daniel
