jfntetnurh Softly the melody has lingered, sweet, ' throbbing, vibrant in its initial cadences, lresonant in the beauty of its pulses, and now, as the harmony so gently draws to a climax, let us guide you aloft with us, attended by its all pervading sweetness, in our little planes of cherished reminiscences, Up, up into new atmospheres we have travelled, surrnounting the complexities of storms, and of ob- structions, gaining new hopes with each altitude, yet retaining the roseate ideals of the one preceding, treasure ing covetly each finer, nobler aspiration. Now another height has been attained, back of us stretches a path replete with hallowed remembrances. The mystic shades ofthe future lift slowly, and with one passport, a diploma, we are awarded full license to explore the great unknown. Ernbarlg, then, on our little ship of fantasy. Retrace our little hills, review our hopes and conquests, the principles and ambitions that have been fostered in the regions we have just traversed. Touch gently the veil of the Past. and, when gazing through its translucent mist, you mark the gladness therein, raise reverently its meshes, and peruse with us the intimate secrets it will disclose.
