Krtrnaprrtinn ELL, lt's commencement night, - the long-awaited, long-anticipated commencement night. You are L ' seated on the platform, trying anxiously to pick out familiar faces from the sea before you, hoping fervently that your tie is straight and that, in spite of the heat, your collar is not wilting, or that your hair is keeping its curl, and your nose is not in need of powder, as the case may be. The speaker is addressing the class,--your class,-you, but your thoughts are far away. The faces in front of you become dim. They are no longer those of relatives, friends, strangers.

Then, no sooner are you accustomed to your schedule, than there comes. in December, a change in sessions. You are told to report at ten-fifteen, and that your day will now end at four. Matters, how- ever, easlly straighten themselves, and things again move smoothly. At examina- tion-time, to be sure, there are a few weeks of intense excitement, but even the dred exams are not so black as kindly Sophomores have painted them.
