'VHIG GI.l'IANlQIt By R. REGELSON Beneath those stately maples, Where gathered the shadows at I felt a song sweep over me, Express it in words, I must. dusk, The little post oiiice At the foot of the road, Where many a woo-er Hand-in-hand hath strode- To view the brilliant orb Descend beyond the hillg To press each other's hand- By one another thrilled. Often, I sought that spot, When sorely in need of rest, There, in the soothing shadows, To forget thoughts that oppressed. Sometimes the moonlight called And I sat there aloneg Seeing in shifting darkness, Visions that were my own. Now that I must leave thee, And from my friends departg Fondest be the memories, Companions in my heart. - 0 WILLIAM SHORR The Gleaner Staff, Cparticularly the editorl is grateful for the valuable assistance of William Shorr in typing and correcting the manuscripts during the past year, and take ths opportunity to sincerely thank him for his as sistance.

I 'I'lll'I til.l'I.'XNl'Ili l dl ' O ., 5 ,L :5'wif?-W . Once every year during the bleak days of February, Fate casts a sad- ness over the school as the Seniors prepare to depart. Then each stu- dent feels a re-awakening, for he realizes his turn to say farewell is nearer. Work and class fairly hum with the renewed vigor born from the realiza- tion- That we, at school must learn The way through life to earn. The laggard by cruel world is spurned, And the idealist as a martyr burned. Then it is only proper that this space be devoted to advice given by the field instructors to the graduates: so that it may be a guide or an in- spiration to them as the case may be. MAIN BARN The Main Barn bids farewell to the Class of 1923. We are sorry to see you leave us. Your mission has been fulfilled and we can only Wish you good luck and success in your chosen field. The Main Barn has appreciated your kind services, your spirit of co-operation and the sincrity with which you have done your work. Your boyish pranks were mere trifles compared with with your earnest efforts and dec-ds, your accomplishments that have brought credit to us. We shall always hold you in high esteem, whether we gave you a mark of 40 per cent. or 90 per cent., whether we gave you an extra early report, whether wr- gays' you lto your much dislikei the milk pail: whether or not vou like us-these things all pale into inslgniflcance and are forgotten when you leave us and you ask the world for Work. 'l'hf- great forward movement in education today is to train the studs-nt in terms of work and accomplishments, that expresses his thoughts and ideas in terms of action. This has always been the policy of the Main Barn. Your daily details and industrials were lessons to prepare you to do things: for the real value lies in the doing of them: that is, real education: that, is evfrythingg that, is life itself. We hope that you have availed yourself of the opportunities we offered to you in our practcal teaching. Opportunities that develop not simply a student's intellect, but his judgment and will-powerg his eyes and ears, his hands and feet. If you have failed to make good use of these opportunities you are the only one who loses anything. You will be less capable of obtaining and holding
