THE ACORN 15) S kolcUtB slut Conrad Carlson Vi nalkas nu ater virt skolhrs slut Med frdjd uti segrande leder. Vi kampat i striden med lansar och spjut Att hugga okunnigkct neder; Vi kanipat som karlar med vikingablod, Och hollo oss framme, d het striden stod. — Nu tiden vi n tt, liksom mangen forut. Till skoiarets slut. Kammando nu hors: “Bryten lager, 'stan opp! Er vilen fr n striden och noden; Bra haven I gjort under skoiarets lopp Att skaffa mang’ fiende doden.” Sa lydde de orden frftn harforar’n god, Dar han uppi faltet bland krigskampar stod. Vi striden ha vunnit; ej minuet dor ut, Da. skolan ar slut. Nu t ltpaiar lossas, som talt hollo fast. Da stormen slg tycktes regera; Vad sorl det nu bliver, allt gar i en hast, Och snart sta ej tiilten dar mera. De rullas i buntar och kastas i hog; Och sa kommer vagnen, pa skjuts han dem bjod. Det gick som en dans genom Iftgret nu ut, — Ty skolan var slut. Nu lades i l dor de krigssaker sma, Som forr uti striden man hade. Har spaden och yxan, dar kulorna gift, Av villcet v r ovan tog skada; Och dolken och svardet med blodet uppa, En plats uti l dan de alia ju fa. Ej vapen behoves, ej mer nhgot krut, Ty skolan ar slut. Xu bryta vi opp, allt ar redo, farval! Det hors med forenade krafter. Vi fara i gl dje, och det med stort skal, Till harliga vilopalatser. Ad jo! kampebroder, du stridsman ar god, Du var icke fcg, om det an giillde blod. Farval! goda systrar, Mathilda och Rut, Nu skolan ar slut. Nar olika platser i landet vi nittt, Till vanner bftd’ nara och kiira. Kom da ih g skolan och sag ndgot gott: Det mSnga tar bordan att bara.” Sag, yngling: Om man han den basta vill bli, Studera han bor vid viir akademi.’ Och lingra han aldrig skall detta beslut, Da skolan ar slut. 5n Bommantctitsbilb t Dalantr Albert E.

18 THE ACORN We have learned that three members of our faculty ,. liss Elsa Norcleen. Miss Edith. Lindberg, and Mr. Albert Pearson, are to leave Dethel this spring. We regret the loss of our teachers and friends, whom we have learned to value and esteem during the years they have been with us. Our best regards will follow them to whatever fields of activity they enter, and our wish in parting is for their continual success. We understand that arrangements have already been made to fill the places thus vacated with competent instructors. The Acorn Staff of 1917-18 is as follows: Editor-in-Chief, Conrad Carlson; Asso. Editor, Olive Johnson; Swedish Editor, A. L. Fredrikson; Business Mgr., Martin Hamlin; Circ. Mgr., Erik Lindholm; Kel. Editor, W. Holmberg; Athletic Editor, Della Uoranson; Ex. Editor, Esther Tan-cjuist; Personal Editors, Esther Olander. Effie Lindblom, Ellys Chernlund, Emil Carlson, and F. Moberg. We hope that our present subscribers will not forget the Accorn in the year to come. The new Circulation Manager will be pleased to hear from you. As we, the present Acorn Staff, tender our responsibility to others, we wish to express a heartfelt “thank you” to all who have cooperated with us in the work and to all who have given us their loyal support. We especially feel our obligation to members of the Faculty, who have not spared time and effort to aid us. To the new Acorn Staff are extended our best wishes for a successful year. ©ur (Hmtntry Jenny Slcoglitnd Hail to the country that stands for the right, Honored and loved be the stars and the stripes! The eyes of the world look up to thy might. Hoping that thou wilt settle the strife, That has raged long Among the throng, Of foes across the sea. Heaven send thee help to do That which is just and kind and true, To save humanity. (0ur (Hmutlry Atliur Nelson Never was a time when our country so measured, Brawn of the young men who train for derense. Mountain tops seem to be all set in flashes, Tried-by the flame as of hell’s ugly lens. Millions waiting for a lift. Out afar from home, adrift. Humbly all nations are looking to us; Want has not found us yet. And surely we must not let All others starveV We must help! We must lead! {Jrmbfnt Siagstrum’s Amtiumsary (Continued from page 7.) master builder of that vast edifice.—St. Paul’s Cathedral. The whole magnificent structure is his epitaph. We stood a short time ago by the side of a deathbed. The name of Dr. Hag-strom was mentioned and the sufferer’s face lighted up and those dying lips pronounced a blessing over the absent friend. And I am sure that there arc hundreds and thousands in this and other lands whose lives Dr. Hagstrom has touched, that will rise up and call him blessed. The work which our School President has done and is doing will live not only in terms of brick and mortar and campus, but also in the hearts of his students and in the hearts of the Swedish Baptists of America and of the world. May he he spared for many long years to love and labor among us.
