Trees can stand with their heads held high, Serene in their strength and power, Yet spread their branches tenderly To shelter at fragrant flower. Symbols of eonstant courage and faith, They challenge 'the storln-kin-g's raid, :lad greet the north wind's ravaging wrath Uneonqnered and unafraid. Living with Natnre s all-beautiful moods, Dr-inleing the sun and the rain, In the tapestry woven by yields and woods They give forth their beauty again. Trees can 'loole up in the tender ,light Of the snnset's lnellowingrays, Then whisper their thoughts fneath the blanket of night, And chant their low leyries.

M Charles Francis Adams I-ligh School . sis In the year 1932-33 we have realized more than ever why Clarkston i h School means so much to us. Within its spacious walls, under its guiding influ nce, we have expanded inmental, moral, and physical development. The years have given us a deeper realization of Clarkston High School's intrinsic value to each member, individually. We have grown to love our school, not especially because it is our school, but because it has created in us ideals which shall continue to be worth while all our lives. It has established high principles for us to follow, a goal worth the effort to attain. ln us have been bred the values of equality and true sportsmanship. We have learned that a good loser is more to be admired than a good winnerg that life is a game and its success or failure depends upon how we play it. V -' . Through the successful and admirable efforts of Mr. Nevitt, Mr. Harmeson, and the faculty, we have learned to face life with chin up, shoulders squared, and a consciousness of the fact that we are going to hold the responsible positions of the country a few years hence, and that only by sincere effort shall we succeed.

O little buds all l707ll',L'C'01l'll1g with sprirztgf' . ' - Song in Sf7l'l'11'glU by THOMAS S. JONES, JR. Clusters of cherry blossoms, all pink and white like a baby's smile, are arranged on a healthy, polished branch, flecked with the fresh, shiny green of new leaves. The branch rests on a larger, more stalwart one, on which is a gray mistiness, hiding in some places the glow of its wine-red bark. Except that it is a bit rounder and that the bark is covered a bit more closely with gray mistiness from weathering storms and heat, the branch is just like the others on the wellsformed tree. All the blossomy branches merge at last into the central brace, the trunk, which keeps the whole tree standing firmly and pointing upward. On the ground beneath the tree are heaps of dark, earthy smelling leaves' of other years, now supply- ing vital minerals and moisture to the new leaves and budding blossoms. The branches are seen against a glorious sky of clear, deep blue: without this loyal back- ground, the loveliness of the tree would seem artificial or even fantastic. Always the blue watches the growth and development of the tree. It marvels at its promise of an abundant harvest for the future. It receives joy and hope from the alluring youngnesas of the tr-ee's blossoms, and it is proud that it is helping them to grow. As the days pass by, it sees the delicate pink petals drop to the ground, mute signs of a maturing fruit. And the wi.se old sky whispers confidingly to the stars, It will be a good crop.
