In the rush and hurry for Commencement, the Academic Seniors are for- getting the weary hours spent in preparation for the Psychology exam, and Senior essay, and the College Seniors can hardly believe that they have ever heard such a thing as a four o ' clock alarm on Saturday morning. But there is no one who does not cherish pleasant memories and tender feelings toward those who have helped us in our work here. Every incident in our school life will serve a purpose. We are benefited by having had obstacles to overcome, and by them we can appreciate the more the discipilne of the Faculty. Our thoughts sober, and we are filled with gratitude, when we realize what they have done for us. Albert A. Smith. 26
