WHITEFEATHER Page TWEUFYONE A POETIC SENIOR ls it a fact And can it be true That the Seniors, forever Must say adieu, To the teachers and student1 Of Buckland Hi, To face what the world Has in store-Do or die? While under their care We all have learned much, Still, only the surface Of knowledge we touched. It's not merely from teachers And hooks of reference, That we gain intelligence, But from common experience. We've had joys and trials, Temptations and sorrows, Still, in this world There are more to follow. All joys we gain, All problems we face, Must be common to all, In this human race. We have read many texts, We have played our pranks, And now, as school ends, We give many thanks To those who so faithfully Have helped us through, And from day to Clay Were so kind and true. -Mary Cook

In One More Harbor Must We Rest Cn the opening day of school in the autumn of nineteen hundred and thirty-five, twenty-six Freshmen put to sea Linder the expert guidance of Mr. F. C. Branstetter. He aided these Freshmen by guiding their canoes skillfully among the shoals and sand bars. Through the ordeals of the sea, Mr. Branstetter was their pilot. By anchoring them steadfastly to stern realities, he sawthem through into the safe waters of the Sophomore Class, Some few by this time had been lost along the way, having lost control of their canoes and had been washed up on the beach. By this time many had also begun to learn the reason for the voyage and had begun to steer more diligently and keep their log more carefully. There were not quite so many storms this year, and the sailing was comparatively smooth. Then they entered the Junior Class and met with a change in Pilots and a change in the number of canoes, too. Four of the canoes drifted from the set course, thus leaving only eighteen to enter the last quarter of the voyage. We all sincerely hope that these eighteen canoes will continue safely on until they enter the port of safety on the night of graduation.
