S1I,t'I5lf .-lNNlVH11'S.etlfY For 19316 Wliere are the children that we used to be, Those golden children running down the wind, Laden with laughter, swift hair flying free? Wliere did youth die, and dreams escape the mind? Over the meadows, misted aquamarine, Over the hills we played, in sun-cool hours: Homeward at dusk, where river-rushes lean, And mill-lights strew the dark with yellow flowers. Here is the winding path where clover grew Brushing our knees with sweetness. Here our Fire Kindled a clark flame in the eyes of you- Here you leaned, grey-eyed, watching the fire. 5 Wliere have these golden children vanished then? Wliere are the dreams, the laughter swift and free? lVlust l believe these heavy-footed men, These weary women, are reality? We are not these at all-there is a place, A secret place of sun and shimmering air Beyond the dusk, further than Time or Space, And our enchanted hours are gathered there. We shall go back again with eager feet Along the mysterious path to yesterday, Dream the old dreams, feel the lost airs blow sweet Laugh the light laughter Time has swept away. We shall go hack, l know, for still l hear Faint laughter through the twilight echoing clear. WGLADYS BAGG TAB-LR

THE CLARION keep up with the rapidly changing educational methods have made him valuable to the school and the community. Teachers come and teachers go, and Appleton High School has had its share in the vicissitudes of the teaching game. Perhaps, however, it has been a little more fortunate than some in having a wealth of outstanding characters. Decima Salisbury is known to every generation, having resigned this year after thirty-five years of service. Her in- fluence needs no comment. Among others who have been specially dear to the students are Rose Ellen McNevin, now Mrs. Jimmie Hayes of Chicago fwouldn't you know she'd marry a perfectly good lrishman?D : Miss Grace Bennett of Oak! Park, Miss Calla Guyles of Madisong the Reid sistersg Mr. Bjorklandg Mr. Moe: Miss Ethel Carter, Miss Ada Hahn, Miss Mae Webster, and it shall have to end etc. And, though the school has grown unbelievably, though the personnel of the fac- ulty and student body is constantly shifting, though some have grown old and gray dur- ing these years, it's just the same old school after all. Times change, styles change, even faces change: but youth retains the same buoyant spirit, the same purposes, the same ideals-in spite of some kill-joys' opinion to the contrary. And as the years pass, the students and teachers in Appleton High School are still trying to carry on the work so nobly begun twenty-five years ago. -MARGARET RITCHIE. P11516 flflwfll
