Kathryn Wells Dedicated to the Pupils of the Grand Junction High School (By Effie M. Brooks) You ask us for a bit or what we’ve, gained These few short years we’ve lived among you here? You ask that we should tell you how we’ve trained Our minds and hearts and words to be sincere? Think not we’ve missed the mirth and fun of just The tilings you now so heartily enjoy Rare pranks we’ve played—confess we must And yet they’re mem’ries rich without alloy. But there are other things we have acquired; Things scarcely dreamed of in the world without: ':«»uId I but tell them you as I’ve desired So oft. perhaps you’d wonder, even doubt. One thing, we’ve friendships made—some will endure. True friends are but the breastplate of our strength. They stand as steel against the wicked lure Of tempting littlenesses, false intent. They’ve taught 11s how in love’s unselfish realm There comes a power through willing sacrifice; One gives and lakes when friendship’s at the helm. For loving hearts will trust whate’er’s amiss. You sigh and whisper to your inmost self: ‘•They’ve climbed the mountain of their heart’s desire Would I were there—not here on this low shelf, So near the valley floor, but higher, higher. “Some weaker ones found this hard climbing dreary: They firmly tho’t you’d blaze for them a trail. But finding none, they fell all faint and weary Must I too fall and thus purpose fail?” I’m sending down this message glad to you You’ll hear it echoing all the valley round: You’re wrong, you’re wrong, cheer up. see things anew; The mountains smile and call, they’ve never frowned. Can you not see. from where you are down there. The roseate hue that veils the mountain site. And softens that cold sterness into rare Enticing shades of lovely purple light? You see it?—Well, then pause, behold and listen; Scan the world about you. see the beams Play o’er the branches, how they gleam and glisten. And the aspens whisper hope, it seems. And now you see the lights and shadows mingle Sweeping all the lower valley land. You are above. It makes your red blood tingle. When you know the height on which you stand. All around is happy glad rejoicing: You are climbing: sharpest stones are past: Hear the songs the birds in joy are voicing Bringing cheer. You must resume your task. And presently you’ll stand here just as we Are standing now and looking outward o’er A broadened vista, far as man can see: You’ll gaze and dream—like us you’ll long for more. If greater heights than this can be attained. Why not go on. but as you climb just give Your thanks for light and love and all you’ve gained And shout aloud: 1 live. I live. I live.

 For General Hardware and Sporting Goods Go to L. SCHMIDT SONS Complete Line of Fishing Tackle and Guns and Such Materials for the Summer Outing THE WINCHESTER STORE Another Letter From the Orient We were happy to receive two letters for publication from Mss Lewis, however, because of limited space we con only print one. How different the graduation in Japan from that of America. We sincerely regret that the Misses Lewis and Killheffer cannot be with us on our graduation, yet we realize that they are doing a work that only few hearts are brave enough to undertake. In this, the last paper with which we will have any connection, we as a class wish to express our sincere hopes for their happy and successful years of teaching in far away Japan and hope that we will have the pleasure of seeing them again, sometime, in the good old U. S. A. Dear Class of 19 20: Over here in Japan as I write in that lovely diary, I sometimes see dancing along the lines faces the like of which 1 seldom see here. They call up memories of certain heated arguments, climbs thru Monument and No-Thoroughfare, clever St. Patrick’s escapades, splendid current event speeches, melodies from a certain bevy of girls whose original group is already broken and with all these memories presenting themselves as I write, I could not refrain from sending you this word of greeting. As the petals of a lovely rose are scattered so your class will scatter but the seed will also be formed which we trust will likewise be scattered carrying everywhere with it the possibilities of a new’ flower, with some o! the old ?haracteristics and fragrance. Into whatever field your plans may carry you if as Shakespeare says—‘ To thine own self be true. And it must follow as the night, the day. Thou can'st not then be false to any man.” With sincerest good wishes for present achievements and future successes. I remain. Your sincere friend. DONNA MAY LEWIS Friday afternoon. April 30, we had one of the most enjoyable Literary programs of the year. Some of those who aie going to Montrose to enter the Declamatory Contest appeared on the program, and besides our own talent there were some novel features by outsiders from the Arington Slock Co. The program was as follows: Oration. “The Rider of the Black Horse” E. Wallace Mast Piano Duet ........... Evelyn Roberts and Thelma Goddard Oration Oration on Theodore Roosevelt” ..........James Rusk Selections by Lopa Brothers from Honolulu Recitation ................................ Virginia Callahan Vocal Solo ............................................ Betty Meserv Piano Solo ................................ E. Wallace Mast Selections by the Queen City Trio Cornelia Sampliner is again in sciiool after two weeks of illness resulting from an operation for appendicitis. We are glad to count Mildred Friedman among our ranks again. She has returned to school after many weeks of absence on account of serious illness. Why doesn’t the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals start some agitation to force teachers to give their pupils chloroform before torturing them with exams? Forrest: I envy any person who knows more than I.” M. Eckel: And I pity the one who knows less.” Help, help. Wilmer, cried Doris “My vanishing cream has disappeared. Do you know Lincoln’s Gettysburg address?” ‘ 1 thought tie lived at the White House all the time.” John: I would like a little attention. Juanita: “You are getting about as little as I can give you.” A cat may have nine lives, but it is just as wonderful that a frog croaks every minute.
