He recognized her extraordinary gift and called out to her from the wings this admonition, that has lighted her ambition and has served as a beacon light to ever greater and nobler ef- forts: Burn a little oil, young lady. And so, as you make your en- trance upon the stage of life, may I submit to your earnest consideration this much-quoted advice that Miss Lord received at the beginning of her career. HE story is current in the- r- gi ,V 1. . 1 1 l llll 1 This theatre, in which we play our little parts, is very trying and exacting. Triumphs are not easily scored nor victories lightly won. The world, contrary to common optimistic belief, is not going to meet you with maternal, open arms, ready to acclaim every little act of yours. Much rather are you entering a very arena of competition. You will have to be on tip-toes, every muscle tense and every fibre vibrant, ready for the leap to beat your nearest competitor to it. Take good care of yourself. Treat yourself squarely. You will need all your resources. You will have to marshal all your forces and you will have to keep on improving, always plodding, always striving, always struggling -to return to our original figure of speechito prepare yourself for your roleg rehearsing and studying for the part that will follow. If you would play your part well, burn a little oil, young ladyugand young man, too. Of course, I need not mention how ardently I hope for the success of each one of you. Sincerely yours, M. M.

SENIOR year l9Z7 will be a memorable one in your life. As you leave Central l-ligh you will find the world entirely different from what you expected. The world has in store for you many unexpected surprises too numerous to mention. One of these surprises may be the fol- lowing: Hidden away in the Nittany Valley is a peculiar spring of cold water. Perennially, it disappears for eleven months at a time. Usually during the spring freshets, the clear, cold water that is hidden away deep in the earth, is forced to bubble to the surface. Those who know that the spring is flowing again come from miles around to drink of its water, for it is said to have strange healing properties. Vvhen the spring is dry, nothing remains but a small basin of pebbles and green moss to mark the spot. Then it is said that one may hear, by placing the ear close to the ground, its water gurgling far below. Like this peculiar spring of cold water, we shall watch your progress. As you travel over the high roads of life, you will find many flowing springs. Drink deeply and wisely that you may give strength and wisdom to the enterprises in which you will be engaged, so that at the end of your journey one may say, One of the secrets, if not the one secret, in good living lies in the perfect adaptation of means to an end.
