-AQITHE TALISMANnew .401 O01 RETROSPECT The goal is reached-the race is won! The sands of ti1ne are all run out! Yesterday we looked forwardfto-day we look backward! Four years! Looking forward, it seemed an age, but how quickly it passed! Though crowded to the limit with work and pleasure, it seems to-day like a pleasure, it seems to-day like a pleasant dream, the awakening from which we rather dread. VVe feel to-day we would as lief go on dreaming for we fear the jumping oi? place-the parting of the ways. How we enjoyed the companionship, the jolly fellowship, the happy hours spent in study and play, the sweet association with the teachers: the going in and out of rooms that have grown dearer to us with every year. Three of our instructors have been with us throughout the time, and as we face the parting, our hearts weaken and we would fain stay o11t at York. But we know they would not have it so for they have always led us onward. and upward to greater things. We regret our short acquaintance with our new instructor for we realize that his ideals are high and clean. Four years ago York school was but a dream, but for three years now it has been a reality and we have derived pleasure and benefit from the reali- zation of that dream. We believe the coming years will see great things don at York and we hope the classes of the future will fully appreciate this insti-' tution that has been founded here. NVQ: have tried to cooperate with our instructors in every way to make our school a success in all its undertakings. We realize to-day as never before the difficulties they have to contend with. To achieve success we must have cooperation in the sport, social and intellect- ual life of a school. Students and teachers must ,join hands and pull together. What the future holds for the class of '25 we know not, but we do know that if we clinghto the ideals held up to us during these three years at York we need not fear. VVith one hand we cling to the past, dear to us in a hundred ways, with the other we reach out to the future with eager and keen anticipation.-H,J, CLASS PROPHECY '25 As I was in the waiting room at New York, waiting to board the ship bound for Europe, I noticed a young woman sitting across the room from me. l recognized her as one of my class-mates of '25, Fauna YValtz, who was going across to Africa on her second missionary tour. Fauna had been back in York township visiting her parents before she started to Africa. She said that she had had quite a visit with Florence Price when she was back home and she was teaching the primary grades at the Marsh Foundation at Van Wert. Florence had told her that Nolon Fousnought had become a very successful lawyer in Fort Wayne and Margaret Davies was his competent stenographer. As Fauna was still a good friend of Edith Sill she was corresponding
