The Garnet and White a a a d The End of a Perfect Day Out of Eternity This new day was born; Into Eternity At night will return. MOST of us were vaguely conscious that our entrance into high school was the dawn of a new day in our life. Like most sun-rises it was a hazy one. Mist adds beauty to the morning—the sparkling of the dew, the redness of the sun, the freshness of everything; but, being scarcely awake, we failed to catch the beauty and significance of that wonderful dawn. It passed quietly into history. Not until the sun was high in the sky did we recall its en- trance and look around us and see the serenity of our pleasant surroundings. We saw brilliance on all sides of us. The light was good. We played and worked under its warmth, growing and learning. Its lessons were pleasant, its hardships few and mild. We became part of its glowing brilliance. Its influence was felt, pure and true, and we flourished as the trees and the birds in the summer. It was really, we acknowledged, a most delightful day. Then, as the sun began to sink in the west, its beauty became even more in- tense. We realized that the happiest days of our life were drawing to a close. If only that radiance could endure! If our whole life could be nothing but a beautiful sunset. The horizon is broad, and our many friends stand out in bold outline. The vital rays of the sun, though present all the day, are just becoming visible, and we see our many lessons as broad highways to glory. Those rays, we know, are strengthening us for the morrow. Their passing is an impressive sight which leaves a feeling of sadness, a sense of having lost a dear friend. The last ray of light falls below the earth. Darkness brings a period of rest and reminiscense. The stars appear as reminders of our friends and lessons. Then realization that this is only a pause between two days gives rise to thoughts of ex- pectation. We see the stars now as guiding lights on the road to success. They recall our teachings of the day and we feel confident of our preparation for following days. We shall strive to prove that those lessons have not been lost upon us. Here hath been dawning Another new day Think, wilt thou let it Slip useless away. Sherman Kent, '32. ▲ VA LOOKING FORWARD Long shadows linger on the wall As purple tints adorn the sky; Oh! now, I hear the swallows call, And we must part, must say good-bye. Yet parting, moving as one must, We feel no tears, no grief, no fears, For in our hearts there lies a trust— A bond made strong by joyful years. Together we did learn to live, To do our best, to fight the wrong. We found that they succeed who give. Life is a chorus; each has his song. So let us leave on dancing toe, With faces upturned to the sky. Remembering as we gladly go— In each bare field some riches lie. Bayard Rustin, ’32.

She is a steady worker and is liked by everyone who is acquainted with her. She has ! een an active student in the commercial course and expects to continue her efforts in this direction. She will probably be “Somelxxly’s Stenog.” Good luck to you in the business world, “Millie.” WELTON ARNOLD General Indian “ • laughs and jokes all the dag; For a true pal, steer this wag.” Band, X, XII; Orchestra, X, XII; Chester County Orchestra, XII; Chorus, XII; Dram.

Oxford High profited by our loss during his junior year. But this time has been quite sufficient to learn to appre- ciate his fine character and charming personality. His ability to act was shown in the annual production of the Dramatic Club. Throughout these two years he has shown his ability as a musician by being one of the county’s fore- most bassoonists. DOROTHY EDWARDS BAKER General Rainbow “ Dot's a girt you tike to meet. And a pal that's hard to beat.” Hist. Club, X, XII, Treas., XI; French Club, X, XII; Dram.

Although “Dot” doesn't talk very much, what she says is always worthwhile. She has brightened the davs for many of us with her smile. We feel confident that sFic will be successful in anything she undertakes. Lots of luck, “Dot.”
