VVCDM N'S HATS RT TI-IE STETSON SI-IOP 44 T E T S O N -means just as much in a woman's hat as it does in a man's. lt means highest quality, individuality and that indescribable grace that gives the charm to feminine headwear. The productions of our man-milliner were distinctly the millinery successes of the spring season. The beauty and variety of the display and the taste shown throughout were widely commented on. During the present summer important alterations in our store will largely increase the facilities of our Women's Departmnnt. In addition to the trimmed hats, we show women's walking, golf, and outing hats in our exclusive styles, made from the Famous Stetson Felt. Happy combinations of grace and vigor. Also smart straw sailors and the new straw golf and walking hats with long quills, which are in decided vogue. They've a breezy dash that well befits the out-doors season. JQHN B.

And now that it has come, , many of us feel like the little child who said, Rain, rain, go awayg come again another day! but this will IIOI come again, and even now it has not come to stay. Some of us are glad, and some are sorry, but We must mingle the tears and the smiles, and take consolation in the fact that tl1e sweetest days are those of sunshine and shadow mingled. What, then, is to prevent this from being one of such days, when we have so happily combined the two ? Here is a thought for you. We have had our little hurries and scurries, and our long, long, steady, upward pull, and now at last we stand on high ground and pause for a breathing spell. I do not know how you feel, but I fancy I can conjecture. Have we not all learned much? Are we not better? It is so inspiring to think we are, and I am not so sure that we have not every right to do so. We have atyiaudm' and even though some of us have not lcfzgibwzed ou! very much, but we take consolation in knowing that one of the difinitions of true education reads thus : He is best educated who is 'of the braadcs! sympathies. Perhaps we have not come up to the mark in every respect, but I am sure that most of us have tried, and we have toiled, even though we have not always achieved. I know what you are thinking-something about good intentions, etc. Oh, yes, that is very trite, and altogether something not to be gainsaid, an - yy up 8 but I venture to reply that nothing good would ever be achieved were it not for good intentions. For instance it has been, and is our good intention that this should be a happy day in spite of the sombre element that needs must claim its post, and we trust that our efforts will go to attest the truth of my statement in a positive manner, rather than being the exception to the rule. Let me keep you, then, no longer than to extend heartiest greeting to friends, teachers and classmates, and for what is to follow to Beg your hearing patiently, for lo, we are to know not only what we have, or might have been, but also what we are to be in the days to come.

O THIS is the Class of '99, and this our dearly loved Alma fllalrr, within whose walls we stand as students for the last time, shines ff down upon us in her effulgent glory and seems to bid us godspeed. I And so you will excuse me, I hope, for rehearsing a little of the history of this most remarkable Class of '99, Lest we forget, Lest we forget. It was with a mixture of pleasurable curiosity and dismay that we wended our way to the Assembly Room, on that momentous September morning two years ago. Here we were greeted by our Principal, and given a few of the absolutely necessary rules of the school, at the same time we learned that the basis upon which the establishment was governed was- Self-control. 'Twas the first time we had heard that tiny phrase, fraught as it is with so much meaning, but it was not the last time that this melodious sound fell upon our long suffering ears. C Our first and greatest novelty was the Carpenter Shop, known on the Roster as the wood-working department. Here all was misery and woe for awhile, but with the assistance of our instructor, we managed to draw plans and saw wood more or less accurately. Our knowledge in- this noble art was greatly increased by the girls personal inspection of the wood drying process i11 several lumber mills in the vicinity of Philadelphia. The owners of these mills were besieged by whole armies of girls asking permission to inspect their drying kilns. A spoksman, or rather spokeswoman, being appointed, she would walk into the I2 office with a now-or-never, do-or-die sort of look, step up to the desk and make her request, which was generally granted. Once a very thoughtful propri- etor sent one of the younger members of the firm to explain the process to the girls, and as one of the girls said of this thoughtful proprietor, Nature might stand up and say to all the World, ' This was a man.' We had excellent gymnastic drills. Twice a week we were compelled to walk a mile and a half or two miles in the Gym, at the same time trying to keep ankles extended ! H heads up ! chins in l etc. Some of the girls became very strong, indeed it was nothing to see them carrying full-sized ponies through the corridors. - Ill the laboratories on the fourth floor we spent two hours a week in zoology and two in Botany. We became experts in the use of the scalpel, and by the end of the term any girl could tell the metamorphosis of the bntteriiy in her sleep. In connection with our laboratory work we went on pleasure exertions in the suburbs hunting for specimens. We all enjoyed these personally conducted tours and found that they added greatly to our store of knowledge. - The frenzy for pure and lowly usefulness now seized us. We wished to show the world that literary women need not be unpractical, so we spent an hour a week learning the art of sewing. Our books of samples and directions were conspicuous by the number of mistakes and the low marks received. . Not far from the sewing room we began our struggles with the Rational Method of Reading. In this room also we took up the study of Shakespeare. The girls would enter the room on Monday morning with countenances ' sicklied o'er with the pale cast of thought, and at the same time quaking with fear lest they be called upon to give a quotation. Let us take a peep into the lecture room during one of those ever memorable illustrated lectures. Here we sat as passive buckets while the wonderful philosophy of Darwin, Spencer, Agassiz, ei al., was pumped into us. Here we also heard about glaciers, moraines, artesian wells, etc., the truth at length 13 breaking into our slow understanding that glaciers do move, and that artesian wells are not made by artists. As befitted the childlike simplicity of our minds, we spent much time studying Kindergartens. We folded colored paper into various shapes and we wove mats designed to the tune of the Anvil Chorus, words adapted. Last year we held the First Annual Spring Sports of the Philadelphia Normal School. The events were run off with great success in the Gymnasium 3 no world's records were broken, but Farmer john, The Blacksmith, and similar feats of strength were all ably performed by the future Kindergarden teachers ofthe city. Methods bring to mind the syllabi which accumulated in great numbers, and which we studied so diligently. In this department one of the girls in teach- ing a lesson on Square Measure requested the members of the class to hold up their square feet. So passed our Junior Year. Then came that rare day in June when we received our averages. The suspense of that hour is indelibly impressed in our memory: but the majority of tl1e girls passed through the ordeal and went their way rejoicing. After the summer vacation we came back to assume the role of Seniors with dignity and self-control. On the morning of our return we were greeted by a 11ew face, but the stranger was not long to remain so. Our friendly coun- sellor ancl advisor, our much esteemed Principal has given us many happy hours. talking with us on the Philosophy of Education, and also on the hidden beauties of nature. Earth gets its price for what earth gives us. And so with the honor of being Seniors came the trials of teaching. We wrote plans for Music, plans for Geography, plans for Arithmetic, plans to be followed in the First Year, and plans for Eighth Year work, but with all our planning We never forget tl1e words: Aim, Materials, Plan. Oh, the tribulations of teaching? What must have been the feelings of the embryo teacher, when during a lesson on the snow- bird, one bright young scholar of the first grade rises and gives to the class the K6 1 4 . ff wk. mfrW f4'f W H . , I N NI ND W , g: : ', ' K ' ' P T MW 'W A A w , + EW MWF 5 M I mffgfffi vim wg mm W i V ,V b ' y ' C fl mf f m ' IWW K , .'

The morning salutation in Room 27 was, Good morning, have you used Listerine? Here we learn about Alimentary Principles, Proximate Principles, Abnormal Appetits, etc. One good guesser in -f. ,z-Q the room startled the class one day by boldly gl 75 asserting that Alimentary principles are 196 -' principles found in the alimentary canal. i w? Our psychological studies were contin- an ued in the Senior Year. This work was ex- X V' j , ceedingly interesting. We were asked, Do 2 ,,' fi I t you ever hear a voice or feel the touch of some If one, without any external stimulus ? Those I 6 g' gi 7 V' who suffered with that disease recorded the by ' M fact under A, those who did not stated so . you ever associate any color with a certain taste?

We learned that during the first stage our oceans were oceans of boiling soda-water, and here many girls closed their eyes to get a good mental picture of this state of affairs, and by tl1e time the Professor reached the fifth stage the mental pictures of each girl must have been perfect, judging by appearances at any rate. It has been said that Music hath charms, but the charm of hearing a lesson taught by the New Method is simply unsurpassed. Any one passing the lecture room when these lessons were in progress might have been alarmed to hear sucl1 queer sounds as Pon1-pom, pom-pom, and had this person stepped into the room, he or she would have seen the cause of the queer sounds which was only a bunch of keys suspended by a long string to the gas fixtures and used asa pendulum. Verily, verily, this is an age of progress ! In Room 18 we gave talks for five minutes, more or less, generally lessg the least said about these talks the better. fit ',f 'tL:f ,,,, ' ii Here we heard of the children who loved I, I school to such an extent that they would Q lg r remain after school hours on Friday afternoons A 'ff' to hear their teacher read to them, and of ' if 1 ill' others who would become so interested in f iii, their work that had a whole menagerie been , ,, ,ill let.loose in the room they would have gone on .Q Timgwgjggihz quietly with their work. - A +43 -f ' If to do were as easy as to know what 'E I 1 I fi Q were good to do, we would all be great w f fi 'vwiw artists.

Our last year at school will be remem- bered as one of many holidays. We have had Dewey Day jubilees, and even blizzards. Those who braved the elements and came to school during tl1e week of snow were re- warded by a long speech from our old friend, Mr. Walton, who said that the P. N. S. girl was not made of sugar or salt, and he admired her all the more for it. Gur class history has one page bordered in black. Two oi our classmates have been taken from us by the Reaper Death, but we know that The grave itself is but a covered bridge, leading from light to light through a brief darkness.

Our past, like a Vale of glaclness Is strewn with memories sweet, The future lies dim and enchanted, Untrocl by our maiden feet. But as we gaze forward in dreamland, The future to meet to-day, We look whether thorns or roses fair, Are scattered along our way. We peep in it hopefully, bravely, And ask, In the Book of Life Will the pages be brightened by Honor Or clouded with Failure and Strife ? 'l And we long at this new beginning, At this awak'ning to-day, For only ax glorious vision To illunmine each one's way! Though some, we feel, may be chosen To work that is grand and sweet, And wherever their footsteps wander, Buds will bloom beneath their feet,- Yet we know, the strength is not given To all, for work sublime,- 4 Only few are the names resounded Through the echoing halls of Time ! And, if Hope, her torch should refuse you, To brighten your weary road, And the burden that sorrow brings you Makes you falter with your load, Remember always witl1 gladness That your life's a happier song, Should you fail w11ile acting nobly, Than succeed while doing wrong. 21' The watchword of Duty, guard, girls,-- Cherish each some high ideal,- ln the search for only the perfect, You idealize the real !

Something sweet, whose word and melody. 'Would a chord strike in each heart ! But the singer's voice is feeble, Her 'lyre no music brings,- And her heart can only echo The Farewell that each now sing But yet, for our Alma Mater, E For her lily and violet, That shielded and guided us gently, And whose fragrance is with us yet,-- Let me whisper to you a message, Breathe a parting wish of mine, To place in some hidden corner, And recall in some far OH' time l 22 For these buds, then, girls, I wish you, As they breathe love round us yet, That you keep as chaste as the lily And sweet as our violet ! That your ev'ry day may be happy, ' And free from all care and strife,- May the stumbling blocks in your pathway. Prove stepping stones in your life E May your lives be one piece of music, Played well by the skilful hand, And the keys of that grand soul's organ, Linked in love and harniony, stand !

TRUGGLING with a Mother Goose rhyme for next dayls Kinder- garten lesson was simply out of tl1e question with the Prophecy of ,QQ claiming all my attention. With a bang I shut the book and before I had time to exclaim, Mother Goose bounced down before ' me just as if she had stepped from the story hook with her peaked cap and broom stick, saying, Stupid, if you want to know the future of your class why don't you go to Father Time ? With this she bounced away again. My inward connnent was to the effect that there was some sense in Mother Goose after all and the ultimate result was that I set off in search of Father Time. My search was not i11 vain as I soon found him asleep on his hour glass. Yes, Time was asleep in Philadelphia! Being a good natured fellow he did not mind being wakened, and when I told him that I wished to know what my classmates would be doing twenty years from now, he rubbed his eyes and smiled, saying, Philadelphia Normal School, Class of '99-yes, I know them, they waste my hours by the sad sea waves in summer, and in winter they spend most of them over Psychology and Dr. Brooks' Normal Methods. Here he gave me a knowing wink and continued, I like those girls and they have been unfortunate, following such a brilliant class as l98-but they have a golden future, and Time's hand shallirest lightly upon them. Whereupou he set to Work with his scythe and I saw the years fall at my feet, 1900, 1901, 1902, 1903, 27 until IQIQ lay there and Time had gone, and I was standing on the corner of Thirteenth and Chestnut Streets, under a creaking sign which bore in bold red letters, Helen A. Winstanley- Hair Dresser, Wigs Bought and Sold. Thinking I had found the right one for news, I went in and saw Helen twisting up her hair as usual and saying in a voice that creaked like the sign outside, Wait a minute until I find my hairping it's the only one I have. I waited to hear no more, fearing she would want to borrow some of mine, but made a brave dash for liberty and the door. In my hurry I nearly upset a very fashionable woniang I saw that she was tall and graceful, and though half hidden by a large and conspicuous badge I recognized Ida Hill. She told me she was just on her way to conduct a meeting of - the association that had in charge the education of politicians. On 17' seeing Ida instinctively I looked A I 1, 'KVM for Ethel james a11d there she was X-,g,'ll!i loaded down with grips, shawl fi, straps, luncheon boxes and um- I, .. ' MF Q WQ3 brellas, a travelling companion of J, I K . the illustrious Ida. From Ethel 'I V H james I learned that Iininia Maugle I ' ' with Psalm book, rattan and a Course of Study for Primary Grades, was developing the threefold nature of little Hottentots and clothing the111 in a garment of play.', She also told ine that my old school friend, Helen Phyllis Ray, who had studied in this country and abroad under the best masters, was about to appear in Philadelphia after a successful debut in New York. I went to the Academy to see her and wondered whether she would fulfill the promise of her girlhood days, and felt proud indeed to remember that she was a girl of ,QQ when I saw her as Rosalind, with a breathless audience before l1er.- 28 At every turn it was evident that I was in an age of VVoman's Rights, and Philadelphia was universally known as the City of Sisterly Love. The Public Buildings were completed, but their familiar dirty white color was replaced by a beautiful chocolate brown. It had gained its color through the labor of councilmen. All those who had opposed Pure Water Supply Bills had been forced as a punisment to scrub the City Hall with Schuylkill water! This just and needed punishment had been indicted by none other than Her Honor, Marion L. Cohn, Chief justice of the Supreme Court. She had obtained her position of prominence by close attention to cause and effect and Macaulay's History of England. On the plaza of City Hall stood the statue of a woman, I recognized the pompadour of one of the girls, and below in raised letters I read, Sacred to the Memory of Florence Miller and Plato. Who having devoured all the knowledge on this planet, departed with the intention of doing the same in other worldsf' At the corner of Broad and Chestnut iwas the Bureau of Information. Stepping inside I found Frances Lillian Knapp in possession, here she was an authority on everything under the sun. Information, if not in stock, manu- factured while you wait! Picking up the T fmes which was on the table, I was confronted by the portrait of Laura Roedelheim 3 it appeared that she wrote an article each day for publication, but, girls, this was not at all startling when you remember how in her school days she used to spin oii' a rhyme every twenty-four hours! I also learned from my informer, the 7'z'mrs, that Edith Elliott was following a former teacher's advice and enlarging 11er environment by travel. It was refreshing to listen to Miss Knapp telling first one and then the other, I know it is so, because I saw it, or because I did it. But I must be on after new adventures. Walking down Broad Street I was attracted by a poster in front of a theatre. It was a girl with a huge pompadour. Recalling the weakness Mattie McClay had for theatres and carricature hair dressing, I knew it was she without looking for the name. Unfortunately I did not 29 see her as she was not to be in the city until , sv n. nn 1 lg i H next week. i Ll 'll IAM, A ,dwg M ll' J The attraction this week must be great, l ll 9 Sl I 1 judging by the crowd passing in. I joined II Ai 0 Il them and soon found myself in the dimly hi l ' i X lighted interior. ', ' yt ' t i The music was furnished by the Ladies' l lil Orchestra, under the leadership of Mar aret ll - ' g j . i, Gibson Dallas. This orchestra had played milk i before all the crowned heads of Europe and f I N wr HEICIS. V l lull lfllrlll llll , .9 0 M was now touring the States. w 32 'l'f l5 ... 4 ' i I . . , , When the curtain went up in the centre 'l ,A , , fy 1 of the stage stood a beautiful brunette, whom I thought I knew. Looking at the program I saw in large print, One Hundred and Sixth Performance of the Great Society Play, ' In Search of a Millionaire or the Social Scramble,'-Miss Madge Fagley whose costumes are the talk of two hemispheres will take the leading part! Behind 111C I heard some one humming the soft strains of the Night- ingale. H Turning I saw our Normal School Nightingale, Adelaide Baumgardner. 'With J. her was Bertha Simms, who was known in , the literary world by her new novel, The i.itg'5',,ff., H3 Romance of a Garrett and a Dress Suit 31354-,W,' 1 1 Q 246-' i ' ?5!i Case. gi..

At last, I sighed, the S Ja 5 K-NL-, , f. Queen has her wish and is alone! X 30 Next door was the oliice of the wireless telephonefl and by way of sur- prise I called up Mary Pharo. Of course she was glad to hear from me, and said that the sports in the Frigid Zone could not be equaled, and she found it much easier to climb the North Pole than the poles at the gymnasium, Thirteenth and Spring Garden Streets. Once again in the open air a most unaccountable desire seized me to visit the Normal School, and being of a hygienic turn of mind, I walked up Broad Street. My meditations were interrupted at Cherry Street by discordant noises, buzz-z-z-bang, bang-zip-zip, and there to the left I saw a sign, Elsie Saam, Contractor and Builder 011 a 'Small Scale-Butterfly Nets and Ink Stands a Spe- cialty. As I wandered on I mused upon the faithfulness of some people to their first loves. .9 -1, 5' nl!! r ,,,f?lilli.iii .,.g , i'ly,r ,Q flli' l'V' in lllflllr l gkllillillll-H-if The Normal School was the same as ever, Minerva still smiled placidly down upon the in H and out going', classes, and the shades were all at regulation height. The girls that now go to the Normal School are self-controlled young women, who proceed along their way exercising all tl1e dignity of their position and always showing the proper spirit. On the first lioor was the gymnasium, a magnificent affair, where they had automatic opening and closing of order and apparatus that was not for ornamental purposes. Sara Higinbotliam was head of the department, with Lucy Doris and Gertrude Wilson as assistants. New methods had been introduced by Miss Higinbothamg one was the carrying of books on the head to correct an inherited condition of stoop shoulders. As I looked at the head of the department, I recalled anecdotes of years ago and murmured, Do you know anything of my brother's churn? 31 By means of the compound essence of singed feathers, paralyzed chloro- form and ancient eggs, hanging lightly on the air, it was an easy matter to find my way to the chemical laboratory. I inquired' of one of the students whether Matilda Rowland was not head of that department. Yes, Matilda Rowland, poor girl, very smart, but absent minded. One day the great heat generated by mixing sulphuric acid and water with nitro-glycerine sent everything heavenward, including Miss Rowland, W but not before she had time to grasp her note-book and make a few notes on her last experiment. - Pausing before another classroom I saw painted on the door, Elizabeth Geisler, R.

She was wrapping sandwiches, and as I watched her a crowd of boys and girls filed in, possessed themselves of a sandwich and filed out. My curiosity led me to follow, and when I sa'w them ushered out the door by Alice Barthol- omew, I knew that this follower of Dr. Wilson was taking the children out. We got on the car marked Zoological Gardens. just as the car started some one came around the corner breathless and her hat off. It was Florence Dessellet, Late as usual. Upon entering the Zoo we heard a great noise. I soon discovered that it proceeded from an elephant, who was having his tooth filled. There was a lull in the tempest, and I heard a voice saying, If it takes eighty grains of quinine to kill a monkey, how many- I looked, I saw, I fled, but not too quickly to 32 E.+:i,'rP omit noticing a sign at the entrance which read, Allison Cody, Medical Advisor of the Zoological Gardens. The river drive looked tempting, I could 11ot resist a stroll, and it would not be waste time forI saw approaching llle a swell turnout, driving was a woman clad in a gorgeous robe of orange and black, even at a distance I knew it was Lydia Taylor, and as the carriage passed I recognized her companion as Mr. Jim. Who was the familiar figure seated in a shady spot overlooking the Wissa- hickon? It could not be-yes, it was Carra Perkins, still true to her muse. Peeping over her shoulder I saw a picture whose worth was unquestionedg in her lap was a volume of Mrs. Browning's opened at Rhapsody of Lifels Pro- gressf' Ah, Carra, still up i11 the clouds. I moved away loath to bring her back to the earth earthy. As I turned from the drive to go back to the city, I noticed a lady coming from a house with a basket on l1er arm. Grace Rileyf' I said, but a smile on her face told me it was Riley no more. Well, at last you have a house of your own and can make lemon meringue every day and go to market as often as you please.

IRENE I+'1mNcEs SAUND1c1zs. 46 REETING is ever smiling, but farewell goes out sighing, and now N9 that we have had our little fling we must say fa1'ewell. It matters very little how it is done, but good-bye always gives us such a queer kinkly feeling all over, as the small child says, that we shrink from it. But after all, it must be done, and since the inevitable cannot be avoided, I think we had better regard the matter as poor Juliet did, and feel that parting is such swcr! sorrow that we could say farewell till it be morrow, or rather, if we do not say it very soon, it will be morrowf' and I won't be re- garding my promise when I said yes to those who begged, O, for pity sake do remember that brevity is the soul of wit, and -- don't make us miss our l1'az'11s! Now I think that was very sensible. Don't you? You do not look satisfied. Well, I suppose that as usual Shakespeare knew of what he was speaking when he said what he did about sighing farewells, and that it is impertinent in me to try to refute his statement-but come, no tears if you please! When all is said and done it is hard. We have had such happy times, in spite of our small troubles. We have been together for five years, and surely 36 that is long enough for us to discover much in each other to cherish. Friend- ships have been formed. NVe l1ave been influenced and guided by the same noble people, our mutual friends. We have had so much in common, and now--1. There, there! Don't you dare to say that these are now all things of the past! H We, of the Kindergarten Class, at least know better than that-much better than that. Are we so weak, that out of sight means out of mind? Mind can travel faster than lightning a11d further than steam cars. So if our friendships have been true ones, they will not be lost to us now. O, but this is the last time we shall ever come together as a class-when all will be present, for Time, that horrid man with the scythe, mows down so many, and already he has taken some of the best from our ranks, and i- .U True, that is all very true, and yet, mind and heart can baffle even separation, time and death ! Let us think of what we have gained rather than of what we must lose- if such you persist in calling it. These live years have given us not only friend- ships, but they have taught us much else that we should know, much that will help us in the life before us, and which nothing can take from us. It is all our own--our very own. Before we go on our way then, let us thank those who have placed these privileges within our reach, and those who have tried to have us understand this maze of learning. I know at times we have been vexed. We have thought we were wronged and misunderstood, but perhaps we, too, wronged and misunderstood. That certainly is a thing of the past. To err is but human. We are all liable to it. To forgive is divinef, Remember that, and do 11ot Ugg lac! Me flzirdfafloz' in Me !l'6'7J6f01f7lIt'IZlQfil'01H lhnrqald azalzzmv. V Unity is an old, old word to us all, but it is, nevertheless, a word that must mean much to us, despite its triteness. Unity in thought, unity in purpose, and unity in action. 'Surelyjif we have that, we must be u11itecl even when separated ! W Come, then, there is no separation for us, there are many places in the world that we may fill-places where we may do much good, and to do that we 37 - must work hard and earnestly, for the palm is not gained without the dust of labor. The members of the Class of ,QQ take their departure then, with that thought at least well grounded i11 mind, and so they are prepared to bid farewell to their kind and thoughtful principal, to their untiring, zealous teachers, and then to each other. One moment! We are but one link in this great chain of progression, and before we leave to-day, we must greet the link of 1900. You should, as a class, be very dignified. Abreviation in your case will be quite im- possible. You must always be nineteen hundred written out in full Clgooj. '1'o have but the two ciphers would proclaim you doubly nothing. To have but 19, would make you too near to the time of Adam and Eve. So we trust that you feel your responsibility, and will take up thebwork, doing all in your power to add to the reputation of this, the Philadelphia Normal School. Thus we place in your keeping the insignia of the senior class, and hope that the year before you may be full of brightness and progress, and that the dying century may look, with pride, on the daughters who unfurl to the world-, the standard of the white and the violet. ist?

While our new honors lie heavily upon us, ' ' the sincere desire of all is that with the queenliness you have worn these robes may we also wear them. In this, your hour of triumph, life broadens before you, your gaze is upon boundless horizons, and the air is harmonious with wild strains of mingled hopes, high our life also no shadowy a clear sky you gazing resolves, and tender farewells. This, your great joy, has touched with deeper meaning.
