THE MALDONIAN (Elaaa lag ©rattan Inspiration J. Malcolm McDonald Fellow school mates, please put away your pocket handkerchiefs and cease weep¬ ing. I realize that it is going to be difficult for you to part with us Seniors, but all good things must come to an end and we must leave you. We must go out to face the cruel, cruel world to win fame and fortune, while you, the fortunates, are allowed, or should I say compelled, to remain under the gentle tutelage of the ever indulgent faculty.

It is the general belief that the Portland Fancy and the Virginia Page 51
