Editorial Again the Earth by Winter punished sore, Obedient to the Mastery of Spring, Puts forth her green and gold to hide the scars Made by the stroke of Hiem's furied lash. Thou, too, dear land of ours art chasten-edg The unrelenting voice of Duty guides Up. torturous ways of sacrifice thy steps, Low bowed with grief above the flowery bier. Of thy dear sons, like Niobe, thou stand'st To mourn o'er ruined hopes, o'er brave lives spent In valiant effort to subdue a foe More terrible than aught this world e'er knew. They are not lost, those splendid lives which thou Did'st nurture with a mother's loving care: They live to-day above the loftiest star, A monument to glorious liberty. To lift thy heart and raise thy fallen hopes. There sounds a voice, No greater love hath man Than this-that he lays down his life to aid And succor all that helpless lie beneath The feet of tyrants . Thou blest of all lands, America, though buried in the depths Of sorrow-broken homes and broken hearts- O, canst thou not from nature learn thy task? Put forth the green of memory, the gold Of purpose strong to struggle to the skies- Like bird, and stream, and flower, and soft voiced breeze, Evolve that thing divine-thy destiny! FLORENCE WOOD. This little book is but a reminder of the many happy days that we have spent in good old B. H. S5 in years to come may it give you untold pleasure just to turn the pages and remember the joyous indidents recorded on them. How different, this year, are the thoughts of the graduating pupil from those of previous years. Then, it was What can I do to better myself?. In what line of work will I be most successful? But this year of 1918, the ques- tions change to: How can I best serve my country? Shall I enlist? ShallI follow the Red Cross?. or shall I continue in school until my country calls me? The latter alternative is no doubt the best, for in school we can prepare ourselves for the great work of reconstruction which will fall on our shoulders. Our government by the conscription laws has given the ages between which men make the best soldiers. Then why not wait until we can give the maximum of service and in the meantime go to school and become efficient workmen in the industries of which our country has most need?
