Foreword It is with mixed feelings of pride and regret that the members of the Pivot of May, 1929. Pride, honestly and genuinely worked and succeeded Board present this issue in that the Board members nave in making this issue of the PıvoT an outstanding work both as regards unusual material and novel structure. Regret, in that our powers of production are unhappily ‘imited and fal! far below our aspirations in publishing a still better publication than this. However, we can truthfully say that it is the level best we could pos- sibly offer. Let us take this opportunity in extending our sincere eratitude to the faculty adviser of the Senior Class. Joseph Miller: to the literary censor, Dr. Henry M. Goldstein; to the advertising adviser, John R. Boyle: and to the art adviser, J. Earl Griffith, who have so well euided us in making this issue of the Pivot what it is. —B. K. To Our Faculty Bv Helen Klepacky And lo! our harvest moon has risen! A ripened yield is ours. How jocosely we gather in The unthreshed grain to fill each bin, Those large and looming tow’rs. How strange that we should reapers be! We planted not the seeds. The sod was turned, the furrow driven By those who from the soil had riven Each crop of choking weeds. Now, shall we thresh the gathered wheat, And knead it into bread ; The process will be long and drear, But when the time to cease is here, Ah then! we shall be fed. Shall we leave you unrequitted, Brave Planters of the mind? No, we pledge with hands uplifted, To keep your words when we have rifted. And left you all behind. And when at last, the Master Planter. Shall gather you. His crop. May the seeds which you have sown. Insure your rest within His zone, Oh. blessed harvesters! 7
