T0 the Class of 1927- OUR years ago, you entered the portals of uOld East Nightf impelled by a desire to secure an education. Now you are graduating, going out to take your place in the world, a place you are better able to fill because you have struggled, and endured, and won through. We wish you success; not the success which money alone can bring, but the success that comes from high courage and unfaltering perseverance; qualities that you have already proved you possess, in achieving the shining goal you set for yourselves four years ago. You will not find the world eager to satisfy your desires; on the contrary, it will demand the utmost effort before it will consider you fit for your respective duties. Your way is not the level path of ease, strewn with flowers; it is the road of hills and valleys, Which molds its travelers into young men and women of integrity and will power. Its end is nSuccess. You have started on this road. Your arrival at this first milestone shows your ability to follow the road to its end. So we bid you farewell, sad to think that the pleasant relations of the past four years have come to an end, but glad that you are worthy to uphold the traditions and ideals of East Night High School.

The Hour in the Library MARIE KEMP It is becoming increasingly true, as knowledge is added to at a. constantly acceI! erate'dlrate, that the function of education is not so much to cram our heads full of dis' connected facts, as to enable us to explore, intelligently, the literature on any given subject. To that end, many of us have found the hour spent in the library from 6:30 to 7:30 particularly profitable. T0 the beginner, the library is merely a rather formid' able collection of books, but with the help of the librarian, it becomes a perfect arrangement of catalogued knowledge. Whether we are securing ammunition for a. debate, or merely reading up on our hobby, Miss Reinke is always there to take per, sonal interest in our needs, and to furnish that aid and counsel which not even the most perfect card catalogue can give. At the same time, almost unconsciously, we are absorbing the knowledge neces' sary to enable us to make independent investigations- a knowledge Which Will prove indispensable to many of us in- business or professional life. Besides giving aid to individuals, Miss Reinke lectures each year to all of the Enghsh classes on the fundamentals of library technique, and has added this year a discussion on the art of bookmaking. No library can be better than its librarian. We are indeed fortunate to have at East Night one who so uni stintingly gives of herself, that the library may be some thing much more valuable than a mere collection of books, LOUISE REINKE Twenty'Two
