THE PI.EIADEK OUR SUPERINTENDENT N ancient story tells us that one - oi the stars in that beautiful constellation, the Pleiades, was lost and that the remaining six are tied together by invisible bands of light. These stars were supposed to have a beneficent influence upon the people of our world. Solomon said. Who can bide the sweet influence of the Pleiades. ... l iday we get some verification of this story of old. Powerful telescopes tell us two things: (I) if we look closely enough there are not only six but hundreds of other Plei ads; and (2) there really are connecting bands of light that seem to tie them all to- gether. Our own Pleiads in the year 1 9 36 are very like the group of stars from which they get their name. Who is there on our campus that does not feel their fine influence: ' There are many who should be numbered among the Pleiads when we look closely to discover them. They are tied together by bands of common interest in scholarship, ser- vice, antf welfare of the school. — .ou .s H. lUummer.
