Gentle thoughts stirred her memory in a haunting train of fleeting vision. The fire cast shadows upon the wall and floor in sundry forms--a mere reflection of the spirited fire sprites as they danced in ecstatic bounds up the chimmney. But to june Graduate they seemed symbolic of her high school career-- vital, joyous, yet too brief. Among the manyfhued tongues of flame which darted here and there in vicious pursuit, one of another, a green sprite appeared-very bright and exceedingly quirksome. The flame grew-until it seemed to surround her in a green maze. . Round about, glimpses of her first days in high school showed themselves in all their color- ful rosiness. They swirled about in rapid revolution but each paused a moment before her. She saw the 28B's on their first day in the great high school-- frightened little boys and girls, the former in knee'pants and the latter in dainty frocks. She saw them confused, and heard them stammeringly try to explain their presence on a south stairway when attempting to reach the main corridor-saw them look up to the people on the second floor, especially those walking encyclopedias of knowledge -the Seniors--as demi-gods or some sort of goggle'rimmed monsters. And she saw them merge from a vague intuition of their whereabouts into a more definite sense of direction. , Saw then-rturn tables from social wallflowers to leaders and participants of those famous social functions, called Freshmen Literary Societies. And their first operetta! My, oh, my what an event-how they, the future 28B's did drink in with all their senses, the beauty and splendor of debutantes and their handsome sheiks. Then after having endured the taunts of the great upperclassmen of Ho! Ho! Freshie! when they took an occasional notice around to some room-say C-6, and strayed into a room down by McGill's alley-B-8 perhaps. And after having been duly initiated to the age old cus' toms of study hall rules, gum chewing customs, corridor conduct and class recitation mysteries, they were admitted to the ranks of the uswaggering Sophs . Here the red of the flames predominated--sending a halo about june Graduate, and stalking events smiled wistfully at her from the empty air. The 2SB's are sophomores! Synonyms for bell trousers and flapper dapper's coy. r The world is theirs--the heights of oratory, the priviliges to tease and razz the freshmen whose ranks they have just left, and even debuts into polite society-namely improvement clubs. They stop at nothing-not even the riding of Caesar's Pony! There at last! The time has come when they are juniors. , June's line of thoughts seem to be enveloped in a blue haze and sober juniors gaze at her- her own face among them. X - The importance of their newly acquired position looms before them-a gigantic pendulum of power. Why, they are almost-Seniors. Plays, clubs, speeches, operettas, and banquets claim them one and all. ' The year flees on the wings of the wind and june Graduate is almost asleep. Presently she sleeps! Silence! A Sweet dreams framed in a golden aurora drift by on the slumber ship-dreams of Hlmy gowns floating about amid a beautifully decorated lunchroom-, for it is banquet night. The tall lads-the slim maidens--the farewell speeches, toasts and addresses. The Seniors are soberly mirthful and to them come memories of happy hours spent in debates, parties, proms, clubs and contests-their offering to their school. Finally there comes a lull in the gaiety, and June sees herself on graduation night-tall, slender and stately-but so they all are. In caps and gowns to the tuneof a march, they re- ceive their hard'earned displomas-tokens of their service. i The world looms a vast and wonderful treasure-house with everything for which they can wish only to be sought and conquered. The last song is sung and the 28B's are Alumni proud, happy, efficient and-men and women of the world. , Madalene Sherman-12 B -h fl -'-s. , .
