uendo. We rise, mutter some incoherent words, and flee to the hall where friendly hands quickly apply restoratives. V. R., '17 ill ill Sli As the Class ship of '17 courageously began its Senior voyage, the fifteen passen- gers entertained a feeling of security with Helen Connell again at the helm. Reliable Flora Enderlin, so stout of heart and firm of hand, has proved a worthy second mate. By their skillful management they have now anchored our vessel in the harbor of success. J. H., '17 4- s- 4- Some people there are who believe that all things exist in the mind. They want to think everything and feel nothing. Now, if we stop to consider, can we not see that many of the most beautiful things of life exist in the heart? We have only to turn the pages of history to find that some of the world's great leaders, as Caesar, Napoleon and Alexander, achieved success not because of their brain but because of their hearts. Their soldiers loved them. Great leaders always have great hearts. It is impossible to lead one's followers in any cause without en- thusiasm, and enthusiasm has its root in the heart. As Americans we revere the name of Lincoln. Why? Because of his brain power? No, but because Abraham Lincoln possessed a great human heart which loved and suffered with his people. So while we try to cram our heads with the many wonderful things which modern education offers, let us not neglect to cultivate our hearts and try to make them beautiful and true and brave. G. S., '17 SIG Ill if Brilliant, mediocre, indolent, alert, indifferent, dumb, all these adjectives ma be applied to students in every school. We find some who are joy-makers an cheer leaders, others who are joy-killers and crepe-hangers . In my estima- tion the really impossible type is the pessimistic girl. Hers is a destructive rather than a constructive mission. She goes about telling how hard Latin is, how difficult is geometry , and how utterly impossible it is to write a theme on this or that or the other subiect. This tylpe of girl is a detriment to herself and to the school. She impairs the fine cheerfu spirit that should exist. She goes to class with her mind made up that she cannot-or will not- do the work assigned. Thus she is hard to teach. The instructor has the double task of trying to o n such a mind before it can absorb her teaching. It is so much easier to do the t ings that we think we can do, so why not go about our school work cheerfully? In other words, why not start the year a peptimist instead of a pessimist? .li H 1 .7-7 lk ll lk When the new year dawns we wish our friends happiness and success. Success is a word on everybody's lips. What is the secret o success ? We are told by the men and women who have attained it that it has no secret, that those who achieve it, do so because they possess its elemental qualities. These are ability, capacity and energy. We young people all hope for success in our chosen career. The earlier in our high school years that we can decide what that career is to be the better for us, and having once determined our objective, we should march straight onward to that goal. F. E., '17. 53

As they pushed us in our go-carts long ago around the street My ma and Kitty Rilcy's ma would often chance to meet, And they'd look at baby Kitty and thcy'd look at baby me, And says ma to Kitty Rilcy's ma: I wonder what they'll be! Will they keep books in an oflice and take dictation fast? Or write up thrilling stories which have never been suilpassed? Will they own a stone front mansion where the great ' our hundred' dwell? Oh! says ma to Kitty Rilcy's ma: That's more than we can tell. When ma first led me here to school I thought the place was grand, Along came Mrs. Riley holding Kitty by the hand, And they looked at student Kitty and they looked at student me, And says ma to Kitty Rilcy's ma: I wonder what they'll be? Will they study art in Paris, or become an opera star? Will they join the flashing movies in gay Hol ywood afar? Will they vote for prohibition, or at social work excel? Oh! says ma to Kitty Rilcy's ma: Not a bit of me can tell. This year we're graduatin' and we'll see their beaming faces, My folks and Kitty Rilcy's folks, in the very first row places, When we march so proudly to the stage'they'll crane t eir necks to see, And ma will say to Kitty Riley's ma: What will the darlin's be? Do you think they'd make good nurses, for they have a soothin' hand? And they'd look so sweet in cap and gown in our Hospital so grand. Sure they'd flit like sunbeams through the wards and t e sick would soon be well Oh, says ma to Kitty Rilcy's ma: Perhaps, but who can tell? Will they hear His gentle summons to join that chosen band To work for little pagan souls in benighted China land? To them they'd bear the torch of Faith and spread sweet charity, Oh, says ma to Kitty Rilcy's ma: How noble that would be! ' 'They'd never know the emptiness that lives of pleasure hold, And their sacrifice would reap for them reward a hundred-fold. Well, says ma to Kitty Rilcy's ma: They're sure to turn out well If they do God's will in any field, but the future--who can tell? Helen Connell, '17 CWitl1 apologies to Nanky Poo D S5
