1C XK xk escaped the tortures of our Junior year we longed with infinite longing to lend a helping hand to those poor youths and maidens who were about to enter on their course of probation. But as strang- ers we were powerless, so one pleasant evening, duly labeled, we entered the portals of the school, there to meet and mingle with our fellow students to be, for the coming year. That night the ties of friendship were closely bound. For further in- formation see a certain Senior boy who drives an “Oakland.” Soon the Juniors, grateful for what had been done for them, to show their appreciation did bid us all to meet with them on a certain night, at a certain hour, at a “Country Fair.” Many a heart XK :ic SIC XK XI that night was happy which had toiled for weary weeks. Others so full of glee exclaimed: “Back, turnbackward, O time in thy flight, Turn back the tick tock just for to- night.” We wish to compliment “certain people” for the active internal postal service carried on this year. Many a mystery has been solved this way. Now we prepare to leave our Alma Mater with its joys and sorrows, its pleasures and disappoint- ments. May the ideals which have formed in the period through which we have passed, determine our future as men and women. VERNA WHITTINGTON, ’18.
