EDITORIAL The Torcli OHE “Torch,” with its everlasting light, is a goal, which we, the vf-v Senior A’s, have striven to attain. It symbolizes knowledge. It is the light from which the sparks of genius are constantly falling and whose soft glow illuminates the world. It signifies liberty, the dear- est of all our possessions. Besides, it is the light which will be our guide through clouds of sorrow and billows of despair out into the glorious sun- shine of true life. The “Torch” has different meanings in the various periods of life. To the student in his first year it is a goal which causes him to strive to gain useful knowledge. Through the years that he is endeavoring to reach that goal, its glittering rays give him encouragement and instill new fight in him to “carry on.” To the Senior B’s it is a commendation that they are attain- ing their goal. To the Senior A’s, however, the “Torch” appears in a nobler sense. Although they have kept it for a term and have passed it on to the Senior B’s, they will never forget its lessons. To them, the same “Torch” is out in the world beckoning them and ready to lead them on to a new goal, accomplishment. When they have reached this goal, the “Torch” will then be in their hands for another period of time. This interval of striving will be more bitter and harder than any they have heretofore been through. To the aged man, however, when the end of life draws near, the light is softer and more mellow. Previously the light sparkled and shone brightly. Now its soft glow seems to him to be God’s Light, telling him that his striving in this world is ended and that soon he will be in the land of the immortals, never again to seek the “Torch” but there to cherish and tend it evermore. It is with these thoughts, that we, the Senior A’s, bid goodby to East Side, our Alma Mater, where we first gained knowledge of the “Torch.” JOHN BISKUP.
