The ancients worshipped the stars and reverenced them as gods. Stars are still very mysterious. We do not know as much about them as we would lke. We have early heard of the stars; one of the first songs we ever sang was about a star. And looking up on a summer evening, we wondered if God had opened his jewel-box and dropped showers of diamonds. When angry clouds hid these twinkling lights, and the night was dark and cold, we eratefully crept around the hearth and basked in its warmth. There are not only bright stars and brilliant constellations, but also the lesser planets, and those which we cannot even see with the naked eye, yet nevertheless brilliant. We are all stars—whether we beam, shine, glimmer, or are even out of sight; we are stars just the same. It’s up to us either to beam, shine, glimmer, or hide our light under a bushel. Other people see us and judge to what type we belong. Let it at least be said that E.A. students and alumni beam both in work and play. —Hilda Bruins Two Seniors’ Views on Leaving E. A, I interviewed two seniors and asked them what they thought about leaving Eastern Academy. This is what the first one told me. She said that she was sorry to leave E. A., but in another way she is glad, for after graduating she hopes to further her education and so realize her ambition. The second one I interviewed had much the same thoughts. She also said that she was sorry to go. “But,” said she, “I will be on my own. I will then, as the expression goes, ‘try out my wings’. You see, I have been so watched over in school here that I want to see what I can do without being watched.” I think most of the seniors feel the same way—they will miss what they have had these past four years. They now have grown accustomed to it and have taken it for granted. But you never miss the water till the well runs dry. —EHleanor Hoogstra thirteen
