cl THE DRAWBRIDGE Nineteen-Twenty hands, taken pride in the 'Castle's growth, and watched with pleasure the fruition of the seeds which they have sown with such anxious care. Like bright threads through the woof of this quarter of a century of woven history runs the strong strands of cherished traditions. First in the golden autumn days of October when our family gathers fromifour quarters of the Country, the old girls proudly prove that at the Castle only kindness and cordiality and sympathy are tendered the new girlsfl Then comes the Thanksgiving Banquet, time honored and adored, when the friendly class rivalry reaches its highwater mark. Throughout the long winter rare friendships are strengthened by the sweet companionship in coasting, skating, class parties and the New York trips when choice spirits together see Operas and Plays. But the keenest and warmest memories go back to the spring days when under the blossom-laden fruit trees and through the llowered bordered path- ways, by twos and threes and in larger groups, friends walk arm-in-arm. VVith the thought of the parting so soon to come the hours are filled with a rich tenderness that no future day can ever hold. And who shall question the sincerity of the sorrow that fills the hearts on that most beautiful of all our days-Commencement-when, with faltering voices, we sing songs that for twenty-five years have echoed yearly from our towers. Part of our beautiful youth is gone when we finish We plant beside the Castle grey Our ivy green, this festal day. and with breaking voices and real tears bid sadly f'Farewell, dear friends, farewellf, r C. A. P.
