And in that wall an iron-barred gate Idly swung and slow, Un pillars carved with words which ran, They gain who onward gof, T passed within. A sea of flowers Un a wide and level plain, Surged with the breeze-blown waves of color, Like fields of ripened grain. And one advanced, a gray-haired man, From those who labored there, To welcome me, and kindly guide About that garden fair. Down winding aisles we slowly paced, Past flowers of every hue, Night blooming Pharmics side by side VVith KinderO'art'ners Grew. D 6 And many more familiar names We passed, till we stood beside The Senior College Preparatories, The gard'ner's hope and pride. For many years I've watched, he said, The Yale blue and the white, Class Poem But neler before such beauty came, As these to glad my sight. More from that stranger, had I learned, But that fair Fancy failed, And all the scene, like morning mist, Far from my vision sailed, But from the distance faintly fell A voice which seemed to say: Lifes faith and duty are flower-like beauty VVhich shall not pass awayf' O Senior Class of 1908, Wfe vainly seek the book of fate To ope and read as there appears The story of thy coming years. But yet the future's stem we know Is rooted in the past, and so From thy bright past with hopeful eye A brighter future we descry. VVhere'er the world shall call for men, ,lf rom mountain crag to moorland fen, There those who are of thee shall stand Wfith seeing eye and ready hand The age's torch to bear along To the great pulsing centuries' song. Nor do we deem one life can fail To strive, to struggle, and prevail, VVhile 'neath one purpose high unfurled, Wfe band, to better all the world. R. L. MYERS. 7

unlor Class History EARLY in the year there assembled a group of earnest, ambitious, and persevering junior College Preparatory students, who bound themselves together by the firm bonds of a carefully prepared constitution and an efficient presi- dent and cabinet. The tallest man in the class is Mann, who has already attained marked success in the study of foreign languages, and is looked up to with profound admiration by the in- structor in these subjects. Miss Prim OU and The Senior Arctic Explorer have also become so active in the class- room in pursuit of these subjects that the one presiding conferred upon them the 'fCorner Degreef' to prevent di- version of the studious propensities of their classmates. During the year the members have been prominent in Y. W. C. A. and Y. M. C. A. societies, leaders in musical circles, debating classes, and other organizations. The class has shown superior knowledge by electing to the presidency C. E. Eliot, a genial young man possessing the sterling qualities which have distinguished the famous President Eliot of Harvard. However, our president is in full harmony with President Roosevelt on athletics. He is not one who would, under ordinary circumstances, fall asleep at the post of duty. Yet it is reported that on one special occasion when he had fought long and hard to ward off the possibility of llunking,' on exam, this really did happen. He laid his weary head down to rest after par- taking of a graciously prepared supper, 'tis said, and lo! when he awakened, 'twas twenty after two. Neither Cupid nor any other of those mysterious creatures who may have visited him in the Land of Dreams had volunteered to solve his geometry or to unfold the intricacies of Latin. Next day he was- present The colors of the class, pink and steel-gray, symbols of excellence and fidelity, summarize and typify the organiza- tion known as Juniors.
