THE GLEAM 19 Cordelia, the youngest, is indeed the daughter who loves her father most, but her reply is thus: “Good, my lord, You have begot me, bred me, loved me: I Return those duties back as are right fit, Obey you, love you, and most honor you. Why have my sisters husbands, if they say They love you all? Haply, when I shall wed. That lord whose hand must take my plight shall carry Half my love with him, half my care and duty: Sure I shall never marry like my sisters. To love my father all.” Poor old Lear is enraged at Cordelia’s answer, declares her a stranger to his heart, and gives his kingdom to Goneril and Regan and their husbands. In the picture, King Lear has vacated the throne and is leaving the room, escorted by attendants and followed by his dog. To the left, near the throne, stand Goneril and Regan, the haughty and disdainful sisters. Cordelia is in the center. Kissing her hand is the King of France, who, in spite of her lost fortune, loves her and claims her as the Queen of “fair France.” Cordelia is telling her sisters “Good-bye” in these words: “The jewels of our father, with washed eyes Cordelia leaves you: I know you what you are; And like a sister am most loath to call Your faults as they are named. Use well our father: To your professed bosoms I commit him: But yet, alas! stood I within his grace, I would prefer him to a better place.” —MAUDE LUTTRELL.

THE GLEAM 21 Athletics To Those Who Have Played the Game “Yet once more, 0 ye laurels And once more ye myrtles brown With ivy never sere ' What can we say which will express the feeling we have toward our fellow class-mates, the football players, who have played their last game under the dear Yellow and Black banner of Ensley High School! We have worked together, played together, tasted glory and defeat together and now when our roads are split we value more highly than ever the intangible thing we call “friendship ' that has woven us so closely in its silvery web. Woven? Nay, moulded in the mould of a common existence of certain things essential to the pilgrimage of life in a world new and unknown to us, but a world that is constantly unfolding novel experiences, adventures, successes and disappointments. Friendship of the true enduring fiber, is like a river that must conform to rapids, shallow places and pools often thwarted in its course to the sea and from time to time leaves small streams on the wayside. Even so in the battle of life it is necessary to show the spirit which our boys have shown on the football field, that of a determined fighter and a fair foe. We can not fear the outcome. Some one has said that in order to be great one must first be small, so, we are striving with each other as comrades to be small enough to be great and we are confident that in the future we can glory in our friendship with such men as: Captain Robert Hardy Charles Manley Louie Zeigler William Whorton Custis Lowery Howard Calloway Jack Nagley Lawrence Richards Boys of the Honor Roll, vanishing high school football players, accept our gratitude for your work and know that to us it is always a pleasure to remember you.
