£? m ' To him who in the love of Nature holds Communion with her visible forms, she speaks A various language; for his gayer hours She has a voice of gladness, and a smile And eloquence of beauty, and she glides Into his darker musings, with a mild And healing sympathy, that steals away Their sharpness, ere he is aware ' Thanatopsis Bryant Standing as we are on the threshold of the world, we face disappointments and doubtful times in the years to come. As these situations arise, what can better dispel them than a moment ' s reflection on the beauty and wonders around us? Is there anything more beautiful than the tranquility of a flowing river or the solitude of a country road? What wonders of modern science can equal the mysteries of the vast sea or the radiance of the setting sun? As you turn the pages of your 1964 Aqua Clara, we invite you to consider the loveliness of our natural surround- ings. Perhaps you will recognize, as we did, that our years at CHS have been inextricably connected with the wonders of Nature. Margot Pequignot Editor-in-Chief 6 ia
