TUSITALA FOR 1928 School is indeed a great preparation for life. We learn to take defeats we do not deserve, to be unselfish, and to be tolerant. Now we look back upon incidents that seemed tragedies at the time of their occurrence. We are glad that such things happened, for they have taught us how to accept the disappointments that will come to us in life. We who are the alumnae would not trade for anything in the world the memories of experiences we had at Benjamin, the friendships and associations we formed, and the practical lessons we learned. Our school life is a closed book which we can open from time to time to live again its pages. To you who are graduating, we of the alumnae extend our felicitations and our deep admiration. To you, the undergraduates, we bid you Make the most of what you yet may spend. E11 ga gemems NETTIE BROWN, '27 to Mr. Arthur M. Densen of Hackensack, N. 1.

TUSITALA FOR 1928 UHOW TIME PASSES -CLASS PLAY '27 S ALUMNAE EDITORIAL BY DOROTHY SKIRBOLL A year after graduation one feels entirely differently about school than one did in undergraduate days. During school years most students yearn to be free-free of the every day drudgery of school life. When one leaves school, she comes to the realiza- tion that there is no freedom. There are always routines, duties, and responsibilities. The school girl has less responsibility than any other individual of society. She is cared for and guarded in every Way. It is not until she leaves school that she is really forced to think and act for herself. Things are expected of her. She must take her place as an adult citizen of the world. . One of the greatest lessons learned after graduation from school is that no one human being is indispensable. We think while we are under-graduates that we are an entire unit in ourselves, the whole wheel as it Were, a person of individual im- portance. When We return to the Alma Mater after Commencement, we find that some- one else has successfully filled our place. We are only a cog in the wheel, just a small part of the great unit of Society. When we first realize this fact, we lose our feeling of self-importance. After this we are prepared for lifeg we are socialized members of Society. i H Page Fiffy
