This happened my freshman year. All the Seniors were in positions of leadership, on exec and all, and there were pretty much no Sophmores of Juniors to speak of. It was pretty much left up to the freshman to take on the leadership roles, and as soon as we figured out that this was going to be the case, a whole lot of my class stepped up to where they were needed. Unfortunately, there is always the chance that an older class won't want to vote younger, inexperiened sisers into positions, even if there is no alternative. This also happened to us, a lot of the seniors balked at having freshman in some positions, but there really wasn't a choice. In the end, it worked out really well, and leadership began to be a heavier focus for the younger members more often. We even had our youngest president last year, a sophmore, but she did a wonderful job, and I count her among the best presidents we've had.
