VALEDICTORY— Continued To those who come after us, we would say, “Carry On.” Make better the future of our high school which is in your hands. Farewell, Chester, home of our youth, farewell. Never shall the scenes and pleasures we have enjoyed within thy walls fade from our memories. “Yet oft when after honorable toil, Rests the tired mind and waking loves to dream, Our spirits shall revisit thee.” The last hour has struck. With changeless love for our Alma Mater, with steadfast loyalty to one another, with a heart bent on high and noble things, we go forth, and bid you farewell. —Hazel C. Wood. Spring The earth throws off her wrap of snow, She wipes away her tears, The clouds of winter roll away, The sun of spring appears. The swamp-frogs croak through day and dark, The songs of birds are heard; By these small creatures of the earth, Spring’s story’s told in words. The trees dress up in gay green garb, Earth mother docs this too, Her gifts to gladden hearts are found — Cowslips and violets blue. Winter is past and long forgot, The spring doth take its place, Duties are planned for each of us — Each man must run his race. Even as winter’s thrown aside, And things begun anew, Why cannot man throw sin aside, And better, try to do ? — Mamie Dahl Wilson. -H. l’age Thirty-Six

e J e fleet on Belcher, Virginia, Mae 50, 1492. Dear Steve: — MARGARET had a RUCH party at PERDUE’S Island and served fig NEWTONS as refreshments. Everyone was in cos- tume— AGNES as a TAYLOR, LOUISE as a BUTLER, MARION as a GAY little girl, THOMAS as a MARCHANT, and OZELLA as a CARPENTER. The house was decorated with COXcomb and the guest of honor was General SCHURZ, who wore a Mc- INTOSH. Pope GREGORY brought a BURNETTE French girl named JEANETTE. Before the party pictures were taken by ROSE WARGOF- CACK with an EASTMAN camera. The JUNIORS are now looking forward to the play. The cast includes BERNARD JUDE, JEAN BENTLEY, MARY- DEANE HOAG, WILLARD and WILSON CRUMP, MIKE HUN- TER, DOVIE HORNER, OZELLA CARPENTER, W. A. WIN- FREE, Jr., and DAPHNE PETTY. At the play the make-up will have a base of HESS coldcream, and DOROTHY (Simpson) GRAY powder will be used. Perhaps you will be interested in knowing that FLORENCE’S father is a BISCHOFF in the church ; MARY has moved to FUQUA Springs, N. C., and has as her guests for this week-end INEZ, ANITA and NANNIE; and EDNA (Mumford) Ferber has written a new short story entitled “The Bashful Young Man.” WARREN is the hero and ELLIE the heroine. MERLIN is the villian with EDWIN as his partner in crime. RUTH (Puckett) Chatterton gave us a speech on how to make good in the movies, and GERTRUDE (Sontowski) Ederle gave us a few pointers on swimming. ’Til I am a Senior, As ever, MARIE.
