19 2 2 The CHAMELEON 19 2 2 Each day I pray, God give me strength anew To do the task I do not wish to do, To yield obedience, not asking why, To love and own the truth and scorn the lie, To look a cold world bravely in the face, To cheer for those that pass me in the race, To bear my burdens gaily, unafraid, To lend a hand to those that need my aid. To measure what I am by what I give, — God give me strength that I may rightly live ! [ 8 ]

Credits With the entrance of June comes the “exit-cue” of the school year. As a class we are through, as individuals we are not. Before each of us lies the forest of the fixture through which we must find paths to success. We have been ade- quately prepared for the demands of such a trial but we must undertake it alone. Coming upon obstacles and sudden inconveniences we must derive our own solutions. The success or failure lies with us alone. Let us then devote time to those who have worked for us and with us — our teachers. We have been blest with a cheerful group of conscientious men and women who have shouldered our worries while we lived on, with a trifle too much confidence in the provisions of the future. It is a task requiring the best that a man or woman has to offer to mould us frivolous youths and maidens into men and women ! Have we given our teachers the credit due them ? When we have reached the zenith of our lives let us give even more respect and credit to the people who gave us our start. ED. OUR CHAMELEON To he sure, this name has the significance of squirms and wiggles, hut when we consider that it was selected for one purpose, we can forget any preconcep- tions of slippery animals. It is a well known fact that a chameleon is a comparatively common-place lizard, hut when placed on a beautiful bit of coloring, immediately adopts that hue for his complexion. On yellow he suffers from jaundice, on red he blushes, while on plaids he immediately succumbs to death by nervous prostration. Our Chameleon, we hope, will never fall on to a plaid. Due to the influence of Crimson this year he is starting his long life with a blush of excitement and enthusiasm. Next year he will adopt, perhaps, a cooler tint. Whatever the tint, our Chameleon will never become a common-place article. The Well-Fare of our pet rests with the succeeding classes after this year and if he is fed well on a literary course, lie will grow to a much more significant size. Make him a Chameleon to exhibit with pride to everybody! Show your pep at the start, Juniors, and you can make him do tricks ! ED. [ 9 ]
