Their faces were dark and sombre with heavy thoughts. Suddenly a particularly sombre warrior, much bedecked with eagle feathers, stretched out his hands and en- circling the whole group spake to them in this wise: Already, my children, four winters and many moons have come and vanished since we-then a tribe of fifty and one hundred braves first came to this Field of Learning. We, ignorant then, since have learned of many things, of the wonders of the earth and of the Supreme Being, and of the wonders of the past races, and possi- bilities of the future. We must use this knowledge. The listening warriors nodded a silent approval and the majestic voice continued: Oh, indeed, we have accomplished much! For with the first Sun of this land yet upon us we united into a band fScience Clubj to determine why the stars shine in the heavens, why it thunders, why the seasons change, and the cause of many other phenomena of Nature. The second winter found us advancing along other lines. An organization fBiology Clubj to learn the secrets of the birds and beasts was formed. Fortune favored us and we prospered. When at last the Winds of the third Autumn found us still in the act of attaining higher things we were delightedly contented in the past and confident of the future. Then the Mi hr One called a eace-council of all warriors. A chief ma nifi- g yn Q P s q . g cently plumed and a fair maid were chosen ruling powers of the tribe. Tribal colors, pennants and ornaments were added to our possessions. Even the former rulers of this dominion, the mi ht tribe of Twent -seven, were com elled to reco nize our rulin 1 . . g y 1 Y - P 4 g I g influence in their council fStudent C0l.lHCllJ for we were now a leading tribe. Besides many glories had come to the tribe through the prowess in sports of a few brawny braves. Two sports Qbasketball and footballj claimed Warriors from our powerful tribe as their chiefs ' The fourth Autumn rolled around--the fourth Winter has passed-and the fourth Spring glides swiftly into oblivion. Work and organization leave us little time to wonder at the future-but children-my braves-we must! The Great Spirit appeared before me in my sleep and warned me that our allotted time in this place will soon have elapsed. New lands stretch on every side. There we must show our appreciation of the enjoyable life we have lived here--let us heed the warning and seek new fields- out there. Thus ointin to a vast infinit the warrior ended. His comrades ea er at the P s Y h 3 I thought of new adventures, but sad at the thought of departure, silently pass into the shadows of their wigwams to prepare for a long journey-! 19 ..-'FG U asv.

THOMAS EDWARD AMBROSE 'Sincerity is the keynote of :ucee.c.v Tommy is a quiet sort of fellow who works hard but has very little to say. His genial nature and his read- iness to help any one in need make him a very desirable friend. As to the girl question, we must give him credit for being wise enough to let 'em alone.'y He is always seri- ous about his work and his hobby seems to be studying.
