To the Graduates: On june third you will be presented your diplomas of graduation. Your education will be even then in its early stages, and you will still have a long, far journey ahead of you. In the Austin High School your teachers have stirred your ambitions, Stimu- lated your ideals, and furnished you keys that Will open the doors of opportunity for you. May you ever be mindful of your obligation to render faithful and disinterested service to your fellow men, to illumine in fuller and richer measure the path that will lead others to truth, justice, and liberty. Throughout your life you will see a long, ever-growing line of men and women, young and old, humble and great, some stumbling and growing faint by the Wayside. Will you not pass on to them the torch of light you have re- ceived, the torch that fires the imagination, gives strength to hand and brain, and banishes ignorance, superstition, and in- tolerance?

f The Wood Nymph She lived in an oak In our pasture lotg And I saw her once, When I was a tot. Her hair was green, Her eyes were bright, And when you saw her, You saw a sight. I She kissed me once Long years ago, When my hair was brown And not like snow. One day they came and cut the oak That stood out in our pasture lotg And as for her present dwelling place, They told me but I've quite forgot. -DAVID EDMUND LEWIS The Faun He lives beside a reedy pool Where sleep the waters still and cool. I heard his whistle yesterdayg It fairly charmed my heart away. The red-winged black-bird has his nest Among the reeds my faun likes best, And when the rushes bend and sway, ' I think he's coming out to play. And once I saw him standing there With sunlight flashing on his hairg He smiled at me and then was gone, And now I'm terribly alone. -B. Hearing Things I love to hear the tinkling sound The cool brook makes. I love to hear the whip-poor-will Beyond the lakes. I love to hear the soft, weird sound Of fanning breeze. I love to hear the rustling leaves Beneath the trees. To think that I shall have to go And leave it all! I sometimes wish there'd never be Another fall. -JOHNNY JOSEPH. Y I Q- .

To the Students of Austin High School: The spirit of the west as portrayed in this volume reflects individual courage and resourcefulness. lts production calls for the molding tfmgether of many individualities into one cooperative enterprise. Thus we would have you be in your life in Austin High Schoolg individual in talents, capacities, and interests, developing distinctive personalities for life- after-school. Yet we would have you learn that there is no great and lasting achievement without cooperative planning, the give and take, the willingness to follow with the ability to lead, a spirit V that determines each action by the great- est good for all. lVe wish for you a balance of these two characteristics that will carry you into personal achievement and happiness and we wish for ourselves a larger measure of wisdom and a fuller opportunity for guid- ing you.
