0:1 Jlid Mellle Here we stand on the threshold of graduation-perhaps planning to enter college. That reminds me of a story about a young man who wanted to go to college, but his father hesitated, because we wasnlt sure whether his son was reliable enough. Suddenly, one day he made his decision. He called his son to him and said: '4Son, I'll send you to college. Afterward I'll give you 35,000 and set you up in business if you can prove your reliability by not losing a hair from this fur coat. The son agreed, so he went merrily off to college. The first year was very successful. Every night he took the coat out, laid it on his bed and carefully counted every hair. At the end of the first year, all hairs were still accounted for. The second year he counted the hairs only every other night. But, at the end of that year, the hairs were still all there. Then came his third year and he only counted the hairs now and then-perhaps only every other week, but that year slipped by, and the coat still had all its hairs. During his fourth year he counted the hairs only a few times. Ilowever, the night before graduation, he counted the hairs, and they were all there. The following night he graduated. He came rushing back to his room, and went to his closet to get the coat. He swung open the door and what do you think he saw? There hung the coat without one single hair on it. It was terrible! IIorrible! Wliat had happened? Then he looked around and what do you think he saw? Down in the corner of the closet he saw a tiny little moth licking his chops-evidently having just had a good meal. You! he shouted, 'ADO you know what you have done? Then he told him the story of the trouble he had caused. The moth felt sorry for what he had done and he began to cry. DID YOU EVER SEE A MOTH BANVL? John Patrick Kerwan 144, gaaewell Our schools days are fading, dear ECHS, And the time welll be with thee has grown less and less. Thy face looks more gracious, thy hallway more spacious- With the sun in the west, we leave room for the rest. In our lazy years we have hailed thee with jeers, But now as we leave thee our eyes till with tears. For we 're sorry Cpoor mortalslb for smashing thy portals, And for doing thee wrong, as by stealing thy gong. In thy classes we've muttered, thy storeroom we 've cluttered With junk, and the desks in thy lunchroom we've buttered. Thy nuns we've annoyed and their wrath we've enjoyed, And so here I've depicted those wounds we 've inflicted. NVe're leaving thee now, but welre grieving-and how! Soon before the cruel world we'll be taking a bow. It's too bad that we've ailed thee-today we all hail thee! All our love will be thine, in our hearts thou wilt shine. Forever. Page Fifty-four
