' TWENTY-TWO By J. M. Clarkson OUR times we saw the summer wane, Four times we saw the flutter- ing snow; Four times we saw the tender grass Of springtime come and go. Each changing season brought us near And nearer — man to man. Our Alma Mater fostered us As through our course we ran. At last, upon the brink of life We pause, and linger long, Regretting that the day has come In which we end our song. For, true indeed, a friendship good Is ' but a song of life; A gentle cadence, now and then Disturbed by petty strife. But, when we look across the years We ' ve been together here, We find no cause to once regret What we have done — nor fear. Our friendships have been warm indeed, The handclasps firm and true, As year by year we ' ve rallied ' round The Class of ' Twenty-Two. Now, in the portals of the world We linger yet a while To bid farewell to college days With their bewitching guile. Our years together have been short — Too short, it seems to me. We wish that we could live them o ' er Upon the campus free. Yet, time will make the best of friends And even loved ones, part; But parting binds them closer still — Each heart to noble heart. Farewell, O noble spires, farewell! Up, classmates loyal — true: A health to passing college days! A health to ' Twenty-Two!

Berry is our example of what we term one hundred per cent, efficiency. During his four years on the campus he has distinguished himself by knocking ' em cold in the class room. Although of very studious habits, he is the most versatile member of his Class. In the variegated practices of his college life, we find him poring over the Greek and Latin classics with intense interest. In his less serious moments, we find him trying to prove that certain members of the Senior Class descended from the monkey. As a pastime, he holds a mean fist in a game of rummy or bridge. As an athlete, he slings a nasty pedal extremity on a waxed floor. But his greatest ability, after all, is in keeping up a flourishing correspondence with twelve or fifteen girls (he doesn ' t know the exact number himself). But he says that he is true to only one. Concerning the real Berry, we need to say little. The above list of honors attests to the true character of the man. If we had written this sketch two months ago, we would have predicted that he would some day become editor of one of America ' s leading publications (Judge or Life — see feature section). But by recent convictions he has decided to enter the ministry. We feel sure that, with his record as a student, manager, editor, and lover, in conjunction with his fidelity to the best things in life, and his enthusiasm to render the highest service to his fellow-man, he will succeed.
