THE LAURION xr x x l932 Our Mine of Fortune We, the Seniors, have reached the first rich lode in our Mine of For- tune. We have striven forward toward this for four years. As rough inexperienced miners, we entered here a few years ago, as full-fledged miners we leave today. We are the first to brave four years of labor to make this mine more productive. When we started, there were only three foremen in charge and only fifty odd miners all told. The next year we lost a few of our hard-working pals, and gained a few more. We added three more fore- men to our ranks and blasted through to more substantial ore. During the third year, under the direction of nine experienced persons, we helped with our Hrst really big project, the production of a book, tell- ing the story of some of our fellow friends farther advanced than we. At the end of that year we lost one of our faithful leaders, Mrs. Robertson, who had guided us through many of the treacherous places. However, on the whole, we found we had made great strides. This year, our fourth year, we discover that we have nearly reached the rich pure ore for which we have struggled so long. We are honored and praised by those below us, and urged on by those above. So far, we have been under the direction of our trusted foremen, but now each of us must choose which lode he will follow in the future. Together we reached the first one, together, in spirit, we shall reach greater and more perfect lodes. In the years to come no one can take from us the knowledge we gained from these years of struggle. With coura- geous hearts we will face life, as we faced the mine, and prove to the world that we are good miners. EFFIE LEE THOMAS.
