Junior Class History Somewhere in the fairy Southland there is a garden of wonderful possibili- ties. Plants have grown and Hourished there. for more than sixty years. They flourish during their allotted seasons and then fade to give place to others. . In 1907 a. little plot in this garden was set 'aside for a new collection. What a flutter these six small flowers were in when they knew they were to be trans- planted into new soil! They had been growing close by some other plants. and were afraid to be set apart and left to take root all alone. On one 'September day they were carried into the new garden and given their places. They were beautiful Howers and dew drops were lingering on their shining, up-turned faces. The next year one more was added and the next. two others came. Another came the following yea.r and then after a lapse of two Years one more was added to the list. These eleven were all that flourished. took deep root and grew to be a part of the beauty and fragrance of the garden plot. Many others had been planted during these years. but they either withered away or were transplanted into other gardens. On September, 1914, a. wonderful thing happened. This group of plants had outgrown the narrow limits of its first garden home. so the entire collection was lifted and set amid new surroundings in stronger soil. Everything was new and strange. The gentle gardeners of former years were no longer to be seen. Great strong beings were all about who no longer coaxed them into growth and bloom but who gave quick sharp commands that made the flowers tremble and strive to put forth bud and blossom. lt was also wonderful how the number increased. From all over Georgia they came and from other States too. The Land of Flowers sent some of her ehoieest specimens as if to say, None can rival me. The old North State sent one as sturdy and vigorous as one of her native pines. and Mississippi was not to be left behind because Alabama had her representative in the group. They sent their roots deep down into the soil and grew to love the garden and longed to produce the fairest flowers and the .most delightful fruit. That is, those who remained began to cherish those ideals. for as in the other gardens. many lingered for onlv -1 brief stay. D . 1 And now the eleventh year is drawing to -a close. A careful survey will show that fifty-eight plants are still growing inthe garden. They are deep rooted and in-atured. Already they are beginning to realize that only one more year of this pleasant association remains for them. Then the sheltered garden must eive iliac-e to the broad highways of the world. as is l Hrsroatax.
