f 23 3 24 DEAR SCHOOLMATES Dear mates, our hearts were very glad, Loud did our voices ring, lYhen in the autumn we did meet And geetings we did sing. A few more months of school day life, And now we all must part. To mingle in the busy world, That crowds the wide worldls mart. We then did taste the joys of life Like bubbles on the tide. Now shining in the bright sunshine. Now swinging in its prideg But bubbles as they break and burst They leave us sad, you know, And now we can but fondly dream Ot the days of long ago. To our schoolmates dear, we now must bid, A last and sad good-bye, But deeply in our hearts is hid, AHection's golden tie, Our friendship strong will form a bond That'll bind us ever more, A bond that made us truly one ' In the happy days of yore. Clara Hillestad, '23 THE WISE SENIOR You are wise, honored Senior, the Freshie said, And your brain with facts is stuffed tight, Yet you skip recitations by dozens and scores, Do you think that is really just right F l'W'hen young, this vain senior replied to the Fresh, In the 'hope of improving my brain I went to each class-but I now know so much That I skip them again and again. Florence Danielson, '25

249 65 even Professor Botts enjoyed this. Qnce, about nine, Virginia thought she heard Miss Allan in the hall but they laughed at her and told her she was hearing things. They were in the midst of their merry-making when the door suddenly opened and Miss Allan's voice was heard Girls!! Don't you know it's supposed to be quiet during study-why, what do I see- Professor Botts, what are you doing here ? The Professor started to make an explanation but as he' caught Connie's eye he said, Well I thought you wouldnlt mind if the young folks had a birthday party, especially if I was asked to chapei-on. 1'Chaperon, indeed! You boys go home immediately and you four girls may see President Wlharton in his. office to- morrow. As for you Professor Botts, I shall certainly see that you are reported. I think it's simply outrageouslv IVith these words she left the room as mad as a hornet. It was with long faces that this group of girls found their way to the President's office the next morning. Didn,t I just tell you we shouldn't have the party? ask- ed Virginia rather triumphantly. But no, you wouldn't listen to me. 'WVell, whoever thought that Miss Allan would have a toothache so she c-ouldnlt go to the meeting anyway? rejoin- ed Constance. VVell it's no use to cry over spilt milk. Wfe might just as well make the best of itf, added Rose as they opened the door to the President's office. They found the stern old Professor sitting in his leather armchair. U Irle turned around as they entered and viewed them through his spectacles, then said, So you girls thought you'd have a birthday party, huh ? Yes sir, answered Isabella May. The others were too scared to even l-ook up. INell, I guessyoulve learned a lesson from this so I'll let you go this time but see that it doesn't happen again. f'Isn't Professor Wfharton the dearest thing, exclaimed Rose, as they stepped into the hall, and the others heartily agreed with her.

Ei UD Ggzllllhti ll' Q n, af - ' 'fl-11,-. figs I f ' :tt - M aa 67 GIVING TO THE LORD'S WORK In the word of God we have direct commands that we should give to His work. In the gospel of ,Iohn Chapter 9, verse 4. jesus says these words:- I must work the works of Him that sent me, while it is yet day, the night cometh when no man can work. First, we can give to the Lord's work during our every day life. All about us people are in need, both bodily and spiritually. By helping someone each day we are thus sacri- ficing a little of our own time or means. These little gifts or sacrihces are given to the Lord as He has Himself said z- In asmuch as ye did it unto these of my brethern even these least, ye did it unto mefy Some may need our help because they are poor as far as temp-oral wealth is concerned or because they are sick. In this case we can share the good things we enjoy with them, and serve them. But even more deplorable is the case when, as we may say, their soul is sick. Wfe may then, by the grace of God, be an instrument in His hand to bring-them to the Lord. Think of the joy in Heaven when one soul is saved! ' These little acts of kindness, which we may do each day, do not cost much effort on our part, and still they may be of great worth. VVilliam Penn says:- I expect to pass through this life but once, if t-here is any kindness or any good thing I can do to my fellow beings, let me do it now. I shall pass this way but once. In order that the Lord's work may be carried on, money is needed, both for the charity institutions as well as for the Home and Foreign Missions. Many volunteers are turned away because of lack of funds-Jbecause you and I did not give of our means for the furtherance of God's kingdom. Everything we possess we have received from Godg we are merely stewards of l-lis gifts and shall some day make an ac- count -oi our stewardship. A steward or one who has charge of his master's pr-operty always pays interest to the owner. How much more should not we, then, feel it our duty to give to the Lord and Master of us all, the interest which is due? VVe read in one of the parables of the Bible how a Master when he went to a strange land, called his servants to him and entrusted each one with a certain sum of money. The two servants used the money to the best advantage but the third was careless and disregarded the will ot his Master. Vkfhen the latter returned he inquired how the talents had been utiliz- ed. So the Lord and Master jesus Christ will some time de-
