SEN IO'R GLASS H ISTORQ, Oli U A 'iictruspcctf' E stand on the eve of our graduation, and look with critical eye back over past days. We see again the dull gray of the early morn, and now the first rays of the morning sun shedding his lustrous light upon our pathway. lVe feel the cheering warmth as he kisses our cheeks, and encourages us in our toil and labor of the day. WVe behold dark and ominous-looking clouds lowering in the horizon. iVe hear the low rumbling of distant thunder. VVe tremble as we breathlessly await the coming storm. Suddenly the sun breaks through, the clouds are all scattered, and we are again enshrouded in his brilliant rays. Now we stand basking in his scorching rays at midday, the heat becomes oppressive, the air almost stifling. But on and on he majestically sails through the heavens, until we see him nearing yon western horizon. Behold him now as he sinks behind yon hills, painting their forest-clad tops with his soft, golden light. Behold! what artist's' brush so skilled as to execute the delicate shades painted on the vault of heaven as he sheds his last rays over the mountain- tops, and reflects from Nature's canvas the rich colors of the rainbow. But ah, we peer into the gloom of the approaching night of the future with anxious gaze. Our hearts filled with fears, anxieties and misgivings. But now there arises a bright star before us, shed- ding its guiding light over our pathway, going on before dispelling the gathering 'shades of night. It is the star of in telligence, for here we stand fifty strong at the end of our collegiate course, ready to battle with the realities of life, prepared to battle for truth and right, for we are equipped with the sword of knowledge and the breastplate of learning. Wie realize now that the theoretical will soon be dis- placed by the practical, but we feel safe with our equipment. Our entrance here marked a new epoch in the history of the institution. She has steadily progressed and widened her influence. 27
