and which forms a molecule of dust on ai. ther star, and this star is a molecule of a mightier star and this mightier particle of dust upon a much more immense star. And thus the systems are multiplied millions of times, each star being a particle of dust on another star, which in turn also is a molecule. See you now what is your importance in size?

And the senior was hurled back- wards through space to the pinicle of ' anottier mountain, from where he could see an enormous black cube in the far distance. That cube is a thousand light years in, each dimension, a light year being the distance traveled by light in one year. It is made of a substance many times harder than a diamond. At the end of each million years of time, a square foot of the finest silk is rubbed against one face of the cube for one second. When the cube has vanished from erosion, one second of eternity has passed. Billions of years of eternity have passed and many more are to come. See you the importance of your life in length? The senior swooneA but many little devils pricked him into consciousness. The torturing thunder went on, Being aware of the in- significance of yourself and of the Class of 1917 in size and span of life, you shall now see how infinitedimial your importance will be among other more mortals upon your molecule of a star. Another metorical flight brought the sufferer to an immense telescope, through which he was forced to view the future of what he had once thought to be the glorious class of 1917. Here he saw things that took away the last vestige of hope. After a futile search in the better walks of life, he decerned Foster under a box car, addressing a hobo convention. Mary Collopy could be seen frying ham and eggs in the night shift for a Greek short order lunch counter: Adams was in the basement of a confectionery store turning an ice-cream freezer: Amies was discovered with an omelet dressing, telling bum jokes to a bored vaudeville audience. A look into the black country showed Lutie Arnold teaching south African natives how to im- prove their folk dances, and Marion Small was telling them about personal hygiene. In the crowded parts of big cities he found Bush, sweeping out a print shop; Shepardson delivering an. I. W. Y. speech on a street corner: Wooley. painting the ornamental work on a sewer outlet: Madarasz. shining shoes in a hotel. Minnie Koppe he espied washing the cloths that her husband collected and delivered ; Alkire was cleaning stables. This was all the poor senior could endure. Heedless of the commands of the thunder voice he swooned dead away. Then he fell, down, down, down, into the abysmal blackness: and then he knew no more. Whang! again the radiator resounded, the patient started up in bed with the cold prespiration streaming down his face. His horrified expression gave way to an appealing look at the nurse, and, grasping her hand, begged, Oh! please don ' t let me go there again. A. F.. ' 17. SEXIOR CLASS OFFICERS.
