The mywtic ship in which we leave these walls Rides at her anchor yonder in the bay. The prospects of that ocean voyage long Do make us fear the billows of the World. But look, what is that brilliant shining light Which glows on the horizon? It is the Sign of further things to win. See how The Goddess of Success holds forth her hand: She beckons us to conquer what's before And share the riches on the other side. So we go, dear Granville, but ere we part We cannot help but say these things to thee: We are aware of all which thou hast done To help prepare us for the greatest game Of all. We know that we can ne'er repay This heavy debt, but we can give our best In good-will, thoughts, and pleasant memories As, treading the future paths of l..ife's great glen We're fronted with Arthurian tasks to do And forced to light the dragons of Despair And Sorrow-o'erwhelming odds 'gainst which We need some strong Excalibur to aid In their defeat. What could be better than Those strong ideals of Christian Faith and Love Those principles of clean and better Life, To help in conquering the dreaded beasts? We only ask that when the time is come That we shall be remembered with the rest. -Frederick B Sweet

'HII H J It it tv ru K' ia, L i l .ur Seventeen The originators of the giving of a Senior Play are to be congratulated on their fore- sight and wisdom: for no event of the Commencement Season is looked forward to with more expectation nor more thoroughly enjoyed when presented, than the Senior Play. Seventeen by Booth Tarkington, has been chosen by the Seniors, and is to be prsented May 31, and June l in the high school auditorium. The cast was chosen by the faculty, who predict a big success for our l927 Seniors. Supt. A. D., St. Clair, with his usual ability for coaching plays, is seeing to it that the play will be well worked out. The Cast of characters and a short resume of the play follow: Mr. Baxter ............................... Russell Geil Mrs. Baxter ............. .....

Wendell Barnes Mary Broolfs ----------------------------- Emily Evans The play is the tragedy of William Sylvanus Baxter, who has ceased to be sixteen and is not yet eighteen. Seventeen is not an age, it is a disease. In his heart W. S. B. knows all the tortures -and delights of love, he is capable of any of the heroisms of his heroic sex. But he is still sent on the most humiliating errands by his mother, and depends on his father for every nickel of his spending money. Silly Bill S. BJ falls in love with Lola Pratt, the Baby-Talk Lady, a vapid if amiable little flirt. To woo her in a manner worthy of himself fand also of her, he steals his father's evening clothes. When his wooing becomes a nuisance to the neighbors, his mother steals the clothes back, and has them altered to fit the rather large form of her husband: thereby keeping William home in the evening. But when it comes to the Baby-Talk l-ady's goodbye dance, it is unendurable not to be present. How W. S. again obtains 'the dress suit, and how as he is wearing it at the party, Genesis, the negro servant discloses the fact that the clothes are in reality his father's, are only a few of the many comical and touching incidents in Seventeen . We pause to honor the memory of Eugene Jones, of the class of '26, whose clean manhood and Christian character were before us as an inspiration to strive for better things. Page Twenty-two
