Reikgzasia QW? MAYFLOXVERS VV hen the birds begin to sing, And you know it's really Spring, Take a day that's warm and bright To go for Mayflowers, pink and white. ln some quiet, mossy nook, That's the place where you should look, Where you hear the echoes ring And the robins blithely sing. Go onward to the rippling rill. Racing, rushing, never still: When this lovely spot you've found, There you'll see, upon the ground. Almost hidden out of sight. Fragrant blossoms, pink and white. - Inez I. Miller, '22

'I I' The spirit of loyalty and patriotism has come down to us through the ages. lfl e read of deeds of devotion, of struggles, self sacrifice, and gg heroism, which speak of the fidelity of :nan to his fellozuman, to his 51 honie, and to his country. It is this spirit of loyalty that teaches the first great lesson which every one of us must learn sooner or later,' that men may ridicule, critics may censure, plans may fail, but if in our cause we remain faithful, we have won one of the greatest victories of life. This spirit of loyalty is the spirit that is firm and unyielding when Q things go wrong, that does not magnify trifles for the mere purpose of QI criticising, that does not lose all sense of proportion in judging. or inis- judging the school, that cloes not make a personal grievance. actual or fancied. the basis for ct settled policy of nagging or complaintg but it is i I: the spirit which makes us, whether we 'win or lose, do our best for the E school, that awakens in others vibrations of cheerful and willing devotion. rg and tlzat encourages consistent and earnest effort. ig? ln presenting the CRANSTONIAN for 7922, the Cranstonian Heard lzas not only endeavored to produce a book, combining with liter- ary attractions a chronicle of the year's events, which shall cause it to be preserved as a book among books, but has aimed higher: namely, to 5? make it a symbol of the spirit that supported our fighting football 52 team ,' of that loyalty that was shown when the students bettered their scholastic record ,' of the spirit that prompted a ready response fo the 5 k neccls of the library ,' and of the earnest ejfort and devotion manifested A E F by the students in all their endeavors to make Cranston High School stronger and better. Thus we sincerely hope that the CRANSTONIAN of 1922 may il prove to be an inspiration to all the students: that it may create renewed r interest in all which pertains to the 'welfare of the school ,' and that as Cranston graduates assume the responsibilities of life, they may be loyal, not only to their school, but to the nation and to mankind. rm?-WWW WW II : ET-Ein W5
