Lessons were mingled with pleasure, with sales of fme candies and pop-eorn. Virgills account of Aeneas was studied and each verse translated; Macbeth and old Silas Marner were read by each student with pleasure. Holidays, happy and care-free, came with the on-coming winter. ' Then, as the old year was waning, the flowerlike soul of our teachere She who so carefully guided our minds through the numbers of Virgili Called by a Power that is higher, from this life forever departed. Then, just because of a shortage of coal in the midst of the winter, All of the tests we so dreaded deferred were, but finals were promised. Thus all the cares of the midyear fled, as with untiring fingers Sweaters and socks were knit by the girls for the lads in the service; Money was raised for the HY and to all calls for aid we responded; Many a sacrifice was made for the cause of our country; Given were some of our classmates as well as our brothers and cousins, Some to the Navy, blue-middied, and some to the khaki-clad Army. lMid all the thoughts of the war, some vague thoughts of pleasure were mingled; Festive occasions were few, but the plans for the Dance and the Boatride Frequently claimed our attention as both events swiftly drew nearer. Strove we in heated debate, all ambitious for glory of triumph. Thus did the short year speed on and ,twas but a few days ,till Commencement; When that Occasion was over, when that, too, remained but a memlry, God alone knew what the future might hold for us in its recesses! Yes, it was but a few days ltill that so long- dreamed-of Commencement ; That was the time toward which we had proudly looked forward from childhood; That, the event for which we had waited so long with impatience. As all the pleasures in life will appear for a time and then vanish, So did Commencement, before we were fully aware of its presence. Ours was a wartime Commencement without much extravagant splendor. Happy were we to be free, and yet greatly dreaded that parting, Eten though the great halls of learning extended their portals in welcome. Graduates stepped we forth from those class- rooms, as students, for all time, Pausingsto leave our good wishes and hopes for the new class of Seniors, Those who would take our old places when we had departed forever.

iRousjng within us anew a deep feeling of love for all Nature. Just as a bud blossoms into a rose, so sweet Spring into Summer Slowly unfolded her petals-Summer in all of her splendor, Splendor surpassed by no season, not even the radiant Autumn, Books were forsaken for pleasure, for picnics 0r trips to the seashore. II Meeting again in the Autumn, we wandered about the old schoolyard, Watching the meek little Freshmen, rejoicing in each of their blunderSe Innocent blunders, blunders of which we our- selves were once guiltyA While with the various problems and figures of Euclid we struggled, While with the famed Gallic Wars of the great Roman, Caesar, we battled, Even as over and over we wrote of the famous Six Pictures, Feelings of awe we lost and gained those of growing importance, Deigning to think, as all Sophomores, that we at least equalled the Seniors. Gone was our fear of demerits and that of the tests of the midyear. Thus lived we, till, with the roses and warm, gentle breezes of Summer, Came that most welcome vacation for which all our books were abandoned. IN 111 When to the radiant Autumn fair Summer was yielding her seeptre, Once more renewing old friendships, we gath- ered again in the schoolyard, Feeling grown-up and important, we, the all- intrresting J uniors. Six of the wondrOus examples of Cicerots genius we studied, French, too, we learned, and some Spanish and laws of the wise Archimedes. Christmas with holidays joyful approached once again and departed. Leaving a few happy thoughts to be cherished through weeks of hard study. Then, with the Springtime came thoughts of the A-B dance and the boatride. Summer, approaching, brought with her Com- mencement, and when that was over, We, the old schoolls happy Seniors, all gaily 7 went forth on a picnic, Bent on a jolly good time on the grass-covered hills of Mount Echo, Bent on just one more reunion before we disv banded ttill autumnl. IV Seniors were we, and we felt the great dignity of our position When we assembled again near the wide-open doors of the building Whose friendly halls had so sheltered us during the three years preceding.
