The end of the season was reached at last, For in another day , The falling blossoms would all be gone, Scattered ev'ry one. But instead of the end, 't was only the dawn Of a summer well begun. Where the blossoms were, red apples grew Full and sweet and round. Who thought that those blossoms, like petals of snow, Would ever bear fruitage so sound! Like blossoms our school days must come to an end. Silently dropping away. Life's springtime is o'er, but round the bend The riches of life hold sway,

THE SASSAQION The class-mates of these happy days, With whom we've worked and played, All now are going their separate ways With fortunes yet to be made. For Twenty-Six must scatter now, To others yield her placeg But in her thoughts a memory dwells, Which time will ne'er efface. --C. LUCILE NICHOLS, '26 OUR COLLEGE ROW Mahlon Bragdon-M 1. T. or W. 1.
