Miss EDEL1. With tenderness Our thoughts are turned to you. We grope for words As, trustingly, we have groped For you, To End you always there. The reality of parting Strikes home With keen-edged blade. Do lovely things come always To an end like this? No, the memory Of your loveliness, Your understanding deep, Your winning manner, And all the little things That make us love you so, Will stay with us forever, And our love will reach to you Through all the years to come. Miss LANCTOT Miss Lanctot, true to her ideals of life, Is straight, with level eyes of smoky blue, As on October days, when skies can knife With clearness and unfathomable depth. And she has guided us with even hand, Firm yet sympathetic, with a trait We recognize in this expression: Standing Straight and looking straight and being straight.

The Male uf Qliijirtpmne from Beginning to Cllinh This account might at the outset make a more favorable impression of our class if begun with the last, the most illustrious of the four years, but for the sake of chronology alone, we will discuss out freshman year first and foremost. We did well, though,fif we do say sow-for youngsters. Being seven forty- fourths of the Glee Club, doing remarkable acting in the Marionettes thigh scholastic averages and deportment go without sayingj are worth remembering and recording. But in some ways that freshman year was rather slim. The only people who aped our manners and mannerisms were mere Junior Room chil- dren. Perhaps it is best not to say too much on that score because some of those children are juniors today.
