noon
As April went by , we Seniors got busy with the first awful preliminaries of Commencement . It began to be considered around college that Senior Day would settle the affair one way or the other . Senior Day is the last event of Commencement Week at Siwash and more engagements have been announced formally or otherwise that day than at any other time . If a Senior man and girl , who had been making a rather close study of each other , walked out on the campus together after the exercises and took in the corporation dinner at noon side by side , no one hesitated about offering congratulations . They might not be exactly due , but it was a sign that there was going to be an awful lot of nice-looking stationery spoiled by the two after the sad partings were said . Now we did n't have a doubt that either Frankling or Ole would amble proudly down between the lilac rows on Class Day with Miss Spencer , under the good old pretense of helping her locate the dinner-tables a hundred yards away ; and betting on the affair got pretty energetic . Day after day the odds varied .
