The Guiding Light Of The Sun The purple floors of early flnzewz, Disclose the SIllI,S bright roy. Hi.s chariot flashes on its path, To show the Zeorlrl the way. HE palace of the sun rears high in the clouds, all aglitter with gold and silver, precious stones, and magnificent carved walls. There, the Sun with his attendants, the Hours, the Day, the ltlonth, the Year, Spring, Summer, Autumn, and VVinter, rules with glorious splendor. One day, a youth, Phaeton hy name, came to ask the Sun a favor, whereby he could prove to his friends that the Sun was his rightful father. He asked to be allowed to drive Sun's golden chariot for just one day. 'cMy hoyf' warned the Sun, gif you insist on this daring deed, take this bit of advice. llly horses are impatient. They strain at the bit, so hold the reins tightly, and follow the middle course through the sky. Do not swerve in your path, but unerringly follow the middle wayf, Phaeton hlithely started the chariot on its orhed path, but his mighty chargers, sensing an inexperienced hand at the reins, dashed wildly about the sky, and llhaeton soon fell, a blazing meteor, into the sea. The administration of our school can be compared to Phoebus, the Sun, ruler of the All the valued qualities of the Sun, his sage advice, his leader- ship, his ability to warm living things to flower and to grow, all are included in lWentor,s administrative body. Those Phaetons in our schodl life, who may have wished to drive the chariot, have been firmly guided on their way, with a prudence and perseverance, creditable to the Sun god himself. So, in this way, the administration has kept . .1 , , i si I HW . . V i . middle road, following in the golden course of the pathway of knowledge. But the sunshine shall light the slay as round and round we run. MACKAY
