The silver birches bow their leafy heads, The Willows kneel in cowls of silken grey. The stillness seems to awe the playful birds, And they are mute. No sound stirs anywhere. The little breeze has laid its laugh aside, And rustles through the poplars like a prayer. The scarlet-berried night-shade stains the shore, Flaunting barbaric glory in the face Of reverent quietg arrogant and proud- A gaudy pagan in a holy place. The waves are running oi? to meet the sun, Lapping the bank where sleepy wood ferns nod Gut to the sunrise, glowing rose and gold, Wlhere all the little ripples meet their god.

6 Q THE SENIORS , WZ!-333 C. fe Ihr Gilman nf inetvvn El1ne11ig-Elhrvr IN coR1'o1:,x'r 1311 S Ii ifrmi li lin, I9 1 8 D1ssoLvED JUNE, IQ23 HEX A Senior comes to the end of his high school career he faces the tact that his business for the last four yearslis liquidated. XVhatevei his part has been in his tiny high school world, he realizes that the dissolution of the Class of I923, Incorporated, means the end of his first opportunity. From a business standpoint, it is questionable whether we have been a suc- cess. Our Advisory lioarcl has been most competent and helpful. .-X few of our stockholders have attained by various methods the elective otnces on the lloard of Directors and have since tried to maintain suitable dignity. Many have found employment in the scholastic department and by overwork have made places for themselves on the Honor Roll. Some have sought fame in the athletic division and by unremitting torture have grasped athletic glory. More, by means of spontaneous literary attempts, have entered the Publication division and there worry themselves into glory by trying to uphold literary reputations. Others have worked unceasingly in the Production force, taking up Dramatics. Debating, Oratory, or Music. They have done this not because they like to worlc but because it is the thing to do in our rushing, busy, business-like American lrligli School. But, because it is American, our little corporation has been worth while, and after all can never be dissolved. It will carry on, ever widening, ever growing, and always the business will progress to something larger, greater, nobler. The Class of Twenty-'l'hree will back in spirit the men and women who were enrolled under its banner, and will send 'them to the heights of city, state, and ugfiou as teachers, doctors, engineers, lawyers, scientists, business men, and statesnien,
