in UUJJGC llr -lag i- .L f ' E 8 1 VALKYRIE Since this is the first attempt our school has ever made to issue an Annual, one of the first duties incumbent upon the staff was to choose an appropriate name for this, as well as for the succeeding publications of a similar nature, published by our college. This task was by no means an easy one, as we wanted a name that should be both appropriate as well as typical. We found one, however and it was the very name for which We subconsciously had been in quest of: Valkyrie. Vlfhat a power of appeal there comes to us, the descendants of the Vikings, thru this name! Wfhat potent reminders of our duties towards our forefathers and the heritage they entrusted to us! Wfhat a challenge to our loyalty and devotion! VVhat an inspiration for more soulfelt and vital activity! Valkyrie, the chooser of the slain, whoadorned with golden ornaments attended Odin up-on his visits to the battlefields of the mighty warriors in Valhallag the fair maid of Qdin who rode thru the air with her dauntless retinue in brilliant armour, glit- tering like translucent sunbeams from the ever youthful morning sung the herald announcing the battle lists of mighty men, and who distributed the death lots to the valiant contestants accord- ing to the commands of Odin. Streams of light radiate from her lance and announce her arrival upon the battlefield where the fearless Vikings of old continue their soul-filled desire of mighty deeds and of mortal combat. From the mane of her charging steed are scattered fertilizing dew drops upon the earth, and in her wake springs up wondrous flowers of incomparable beau- ty and fragrance. Thus she moves forth and back upon Odin's battleheld gathering' up and conducting the souls of the heroes who fall in deadly combat to the resplendent halls of Valhalla. Here the Valkyrie act as cup bearer to the revivined heroes. i Valkyrie,-a fitting name to the memory of the men who founded our school thirty years ago. Most of them have fallen upon the battlefield of life. but their souls live on. Our Val- kyrie, the fair maid of our school, shall lovingly minister to the memory of these brave founders of our school. and she shall en- courage those of us who are now in the midst of the fight to greater efforts and nobler deeds. Wfe too, like the Valkyries of old, must be the cupbearers to the earnest, self-sacrificing men and women who made possible the founding of our school, an-d to those who have so loyally stood by our college these thirty years. llfe must also be the cupbearers of the culture, tradition and language of our forefathers, A. O. BL M.
