ROSEBTARY AND REASGNS On that momentous occasion when the senior is presented with a sheep-skin parchment, he is given not only a precious document acknowledging three years of high school work favorably completed, but he is also presented with a rosemary that will in his later and less foolish years help him to recall the many happy days he spent on Prospect Hill among agreeable companions and amid a colorful atmosphere of admirable architecture and superbly planned landscape. It will enable himnto recall more or less delightful teachers and days of interesting or uninteresting studying. At some distant day when the one-time senior draws out his diploma from amongst other souvenirs-a crumbled flower, a bit of pink lace, a wrinkled note, etc.,-across his memory will flash a moving panorama of exciting and amusing remembrances-football games and hilarious rallies, enjoyable dances in the gym- nasium and charming companions of the occasions, funny incidents that happened in the class rooms, in the halls or on the campus, old friends and hours spent on the front steps or elsewhere in boisterous laughter and bantering conversation, the prankful donkies who hurled water-bags from the outside balconies, giving some unfortunate fellow an out-of-place bath, the sound of marbles rolling down the floor of the assembly during an uninteresting lecture, the time all the bolts except one were removed from a certain studentls desk and when he sat down the last was taken out, sending student and desk crashing to the floor amid loud laughter. The senior's remembrances will consist not only of these incidents but others of another kind. He will envisage the lovely green, sloping grounds set with fine old trees or healthy saplings, some already claimed by classes that have graduated, the approach to the main building, up the diagonal brick walk, across the circle and then the ascending steps, the idling and laughing students there, the Roman tower silhouetted against a velvet sky that would cause the Italian variety to blush, the investing ivy already concealing a large surface of the tapestried brick, the view from the balconies, to the west the clean and empty horizon of the ocean, to the north the some time purpled mountains, and the sometimes snow-capped mountains visible from the other side of the school, the windows in the library, the organ belching in response to untaught fingers, the suggestively wild path near the southeast corner, the beautiful portals on the Seventh Street side of the library building, the fine memorial gate, the wonderful open air theatre that is so little appreciated by students and villagers alike, the inadequate gymnasiums and the small athletic field. just a few of the many things that might leave a lasting im- pression on anybody who has lingered for a time in the school. And there are many others of a more roseate hue, that he will recall, such as the first day after the vacations, the big game, hobo day, the junior-senior brawl, the junior prom and above all, commencement. 3 The knowledge that this reminiscing will occur, is half the raison d'etre of the Nautilus. Like the diploma, it is a rosemary, and if there is a purpgge behind it then it is to preserve in book form the student's memories of his days spent af Santa Nfonica High School. The Nautilus gives a sharpness and vividness to these remembrances that the diploma is incapable of doing. At the same time it offers an excellent drill field for whatever young talents-and some of them sur risin 1 accomplished, too-may care to contribute. The work, or rather pleasure oif editg Y the Nautilus is entered into by the members of the staff, both teachers and stude lfg with much vigor and considerable joy. Through the sagacious help of instru tn S7 the members of the staff attempt to incorporate between the covers of tl Cborii a little of everything that is representative of the high school. The literar f ie 'OO' and athletic efforts of the students all come in for recognition as does illfriilsuc everything else that goes to make up the color and charm from ,Septembef totgsnigf LEE LARSON.
