lgragvr nf Svnrratra Beloved Pan, thou god most sought of men, Who guides the huntsmen through his forest roam, Whose voice is heard in every mountain glen, Where thoumwith heavenly Hute so sweetly played That the wanderer, weary, lost, dismayed, Inspired on, in safety reaches home-Y . When he would surely perish, thou dost keep The hillside shepherd, and the shepherd's sheep, And faithful always, even in our sleep Sendst dreams in which are helpful lessons taughtg O, Pan divine, it is to thee I pray, And all ye other gods who haunt this spot, And with thy composite creations wraught Into one produce this Elysian day. Ilissus, god of this most crystal stream, Which bears thy name, and in whose bosom seem To grow the inverted image of the planeg I And all ye nymphs that wake the sleeping breeze, And dwell in bending grasses and in trees, Turn not away, but listen once again. . Long have I served thee with unbroken duty, And now I ask that thou mayst give me beauty, Not for the outward self but for the soul, But may both out and inward man be wholeg And may I not judge men by wealth, but by The wisdom they possessg and lastly, I Would wish such gold as I can only bear And still be temperateg now to thy care I do commend myself, and put in thee All trust and hope of life and libertyg This prayer, if answered, is enough for me.

'08 AS FRESHIVIEN SDL N HY, hello, Esther. l've just been thinking about ua you and the good old days when we were ' - . . Freshmen together. Weren't we angels then? X Say, do you remember how trembly we used to get as soon as we approached Miss Pratt's classroom? l was simply scared to death of her and I don't know why either. She really isn't a bit terrifying. How many times did you get to the head in her class? How much of the first chapter of Caesar do you remember? Let me see: Gallia est ommis divisa in partes tres, quarum unam- dear me, l've forgotten the rest and I used to know every bit of it. Were you ever among those favored ones invited to be present at her matinees. They used to be quite famous! But didn't we use to have a circus in Miss Patterson's class? We acted terribly in class but we managed to learn a little chiefly memory selections, and the normal training we re- ceived when she made us be teacher made up for a good deal. What fun we had in drawing, tho! The poor teacher! l'm afraid we drove her almost distracted. l know we kept her busy trying to find enough work to keep us out of mischief. l'm sure you couldn't forget Mrs. Allard, who held such perfect sway over her dominion, that it was considered a crime, and a punishable one, too, to whisper at fifteen minute period or, worse still, while marching to classes. This discipline was just what we needed at that time to calm us down and show us that High School life is not all fun. Don't you remember how she had each of us write the sentence, Character is habit crystallized, and keep it in plain sight. l suppose that helped some to make us what we are now. You know very well that ours is the finest class that ever favored old Central with its presence. ALICE VAN F OSSEN Page twenty-sl
