3 I i I l , , I i l Elf! Hivmnriam HELEN S. HORN With us she threaded all the bitter way Whereby Othello and King Lear met death, She watched sweet Desdemonas fleeting breath, And saw Cordelia pass to brighter day. She knew the thrill of Shakespeare grave and gay l-lis clear portrayal of life's tangled skein: A With us she fronted all the joy and pain, And kept a faith too strong to feel dismay, For her no more the conflict and the strife, Nor eager questioning, nor burning fear, Nor age to bright the beauty of her youth. All suddenly she leaves this mortal life, Beyond the shadows sees the dawning clear, And long before us, knows Godgs perfect truth. W. H. D. Apri130, 1918 Page Thirty-t 'LUO

Srninr Qllaaa Fliiatnrg Senior Chronicles-A stupendous task if one were to relate all their deeds of pro wess, but let their feats speak for themselves. They were a sturdy and gallant class when they entered 1Vooster portals. Four years has weathered them uoinewhat., Worn off rough edges, here, and shown the strength and firm- ness of spots elsewhere. Four years has served to combine and coalesce the group into a Maroon and Gold 1918 Corporation. In athletics, in oratory, the few h ave distinguished themselves and the rest have stood by and cheered. The class has worked and played together, distinguishing itself in the classroom, enjoying itself at parties and picnics with carefree impartiality. It priles itself on the stick together spirit. It stuck to the rope in the tug-oi -War with noticeable eifects in its Sophomore year 5 the individual mem- bers li ave clung to 718, fostered and cherished its spirit with great faith in its ultima te goa.l. i As the years Went by, responsibilities increased. '18 had a reputation to maintain, spurs to be won by further effort. So the class has reached the cap and gown stage of its developnient. All its fortitude a.nd adhesive ways are carefully conserved now, for '18 must, with its few representatives, carry' out splendidly all that it promised to do. It must shine forth bravely winning honor for itself, that those who have gone into the service may have faitl. in the old class, and that the Seniors may reflect a bit of the spirit with xvhif h the others have gone forth. It has fulfilled its days philosophically, and is pi eserving its unity despite the fact that even our honorary member has left our ranks for greater ones. Here is a health to '18, may it meet its future with reineinlnances of the good past and all the good lessons it has brought. Page Thzrfy one
