MAY 1914 VOL. VI No. 8 DREAMS. Baccalaureate Sunday was a beaut trill day. The air was soft and warm; sporty little breezes frisked in and out among the trees, and long cool shadows, made by the far-off June clouds, lay over the campus. The trees were white, pink and palest yellow with blossoms which smelled sweet, as far as you could see them. Little late violets pied with purple the deep green ot the oral. And lo. I dreamt that the campus, stretching out beyond the premises of the maples, was white with daisies. All the prim little flower beds which Victor. the gardener, minds so carefully, had bloomed out with a brave array of lilies, pansies and asters. Birds called too in shy voices and butterflies drifted dreamily about. And lo. every one, who could, was cut dcors. and on Baccalaureate Sunday, that means all of Bethel. It is (he last Sunday this year for the under class men-, therefore they wish to make the most out of it. But for the Seniors it is their last av of Bethel; they cling lo it lovingly, pathetically. For tomorrow will come Hooding in the hordes of mothers, sisters. brothers and an occasional father, to take possession of the college and the collegians. Bethel commencement was nigh, and of vital interest to the grad. And lo. I saw in the holiday air the many strangers, the alumnae of other far-back classes, the girls in an abundant condition of holiday clothes and carefree manners. all making it a different place for those who know it best as it is every day for eight months in a year, noisy, rushing, busy, absorbed in itself, and heedless of the outer world. Behold. 1 saw eight seniors in their youth, brightly polished and adorned so that not even the scars of old wounds remained. The class was one united on Hie common ground of love, the brightest, most independent, most original ciass that ever entered Bethel Academy. And 1 also dreamt I saw groups ot threes and fours, who were starting out in all directions, some for a last walk up the shady road to the Agriculture Farm School, some to cut across the country to Rose Hill Nursery, or the queer slope somewhere over by the Fair Grounds,
