Senior Farewell
from Daytonian 1938
by eCommons
Fo nd memories of four happy years-gayety, laughter, tears-suave seniors and aspiring underclassmen, comely debutantes and stately chaperones, all crowded in the festooned ballroom of Triangle park.
"Farewell and Good Luck" was the greeting that sprung from the jubilant crowd dancing to the soft and lilting tunes at the climax of the University of Dayton's social and academic year. The Senior Farewell proved a fitting adieu and the spirit of the Class of 1938 soared into the heavens as the somber clock tolled midnight and started the Grand March winding on its way, as if into the unknown future.
The rhythmic blare of horns and the mournful cry of the violins seemed to say, "Aloha, Aloha."
