REFLECTIONS in the high school, of the fun, demerits and lessons, and finally of the power which you hold as a senior, and realizing that soon you are to leave, soon teach- ers and pupils alike will be mourning over your departure, you will be overcome with grief and sink into an abyss of despondency. Well, after this picture of gloom, which some- times penetrates into senior life, came a picture never to be forgotten. My classmates, girls in white and boys in black, were softl3 singing together for the last time their class song. Was this sad scene to be the last ? I thought so, for when it disappeared no other came. But suddenly there was a flash of light and I saw my classmates slowly moving in a grand march. The sadness had disappeared. Triumphant, my class was ending its successful career in a grand processional ; the end of school, the beginning of life. The picture died out and the heart burst into sixty- six lights of gold and white, a picture of one of my classmates in the tip of each glow. Together the lights ascended and golden and white disappeared in the heavens. 20
