wg VF Sf If Sl am Class Poem When we have reached the last strong gate That harbors our eternal fate, We'll turn and see the way That we have come. The years will stand Beside the path on either hand Like pines in dark array. Good Counsel's lawns lie, rich and wide, Where our ambitious thoughts once tried To grow as broad as they. The pine trees reaching toward the sky Have told of hopes that never die Through all eternity. The stately elms have made us wise With wisdom that the sages prize, And taught us dignity. Their shade has tempered worldly light That brings wide knowledge to the sight But hides inhnity. Our thoughts are like the ivy vineg So closely round these walls they twine, Their grief to assuage. The songs of birds, the chapel bell, Have brought us sweetness none can tell, And none can ever gauge. How sweet a gift these sounds bequeath! Our memories will sing beneath The eaves of our old age.

W VF Sf If Zft sm MARY BURKE, B.A. Westbury, L. I., N. Y. Her unalterable evcnness of temper was but the reflection of her undisturbed serenity of soul. One cannot always judge by appearances. Who could guess that behind this calm, reserved exf terior there is a spirit, still gentle and rehned, but bubbling over with gaiety. Nothing seems to disturb Mary's serenity, but there is very little which escapes her keen perception and shrewd, silent judgment.
