The Planets Saturn. and Jupiter shed brilliant light. lVhiIe fllercury swiftly whirls by. Vmius is glowing, ca glorious sight, .-Ind Stardust -is sprin.kli'ny Nm .vl.',u. The planets of the sky whirl and rotate on their orbits, each having its definite place, as the classes of Mentor have their prescribed positions in our school life. The senior class, with its leadership, is represented by Saturn, one of the most impor- tant of the planets. As the nucleus of Saturn is circumferenced by many lovely vari-colo red bands, so the seniors, as the nucleus of the school, are surrounded by the many varied phases of scholastic activities. The god, Saturn, is said to have reigned in a golden age of intelli- gence and learning, so it is only fitting for the senior class to represent Saturn, for they have reigned over a golden school year. VVhen Saturn relinquished the throne, Jupiter became ruler, so to the junior class falls the honor of becoming Jupiter, both a monstrous planet and powerful god. As Jupiter be- came the ruler of the heavens after the reign of Saturn, the juniors will ascend the throne of Olympic Mentor to rule on the departure of the seniors. VVhen every evening, the stars begin to brighten their glowing lamps, a bright and bril- liant flame rises in the western horizon. It is Vlenus beginning to show its glow to the earth. The sophomores, who are beginning to glow very brightly on the school's horizon, merit the representation of Venus, a bright well-beloved planet. One of the most skillful aids to the great gods of lVfount Olypus was Mercury, the mes- senger god of winged speed. Now, each night, there shines in the sky, the planet which bears his name, ltlercury, small, but gleaming with a steady light. The freshmen, climbing steadily -- --, to the mountis top of education, become lVIercury, for they have all the commendable quali- ties of both the planet and the god. The seventh and eighth grades are like stardust, gleaming faintly in the distant sky, beautiful little scintellating points of light, gathering strength to shine more brightly as the years bloom and fade away. These are the planets of our school-Saturn, Jupiter, Venus and Nlercury, all brighten- ing our school life with their active light, and each bright gleam would be dulled without the accompanying gleam of the other.
