Nothing can bring you peace but the triumph ol' principles.', The execution of an unpleasant task which has to be performed may often seem hard and unjust, yet once it is accomplished, we can forget the difficulties it caused, and have only the satisfying results and the knowledge of a duty well done.

rl Nl . b A ' iiffl Jh.. li... The third grade's dreams during 1929 have at last been realized, and they now have class organization. Eleanor Garner is President, Betty Webb is Vice-President, Jacqueline Collins is Secretary, and Marjorie Fox is Treasurer. Dorothy Rouse is paying especial attention to dancing, and develop- ing her great talent for that art which all the girls who ever attended Gray Court well remember. Elizabeth Gillespie is developing a wonderful voice and we expect to hear her broadcast in a very short time. Barbara Colton is l resident of the Senior Class, while Marilynn Collins is Captain of the Senior basketball team. Eleanor Barrett is planning to be the Gym teacher at Gray Court and is helping with the little ones. Mary Barrett is making great headway with her art, and is destined to become famous. Alison Holman is the Lower School Gray Cheerleader, while Trientje Hood holds the Captainship of the Lower School Golds. Louise Jackson leads l1e1' class in dramatics and much is expected of her. Edna Skinner spends one evening monthly entertaining her school- mates with her recitals of character dancing. Ladies and Gentlemen, this is Marjorie Kunkle on the air again. I hope you have enjoyed the special program this evening which has brought to you the opportunity of hearing about your favorites. And now we bid you Farewell! FAREWELL TO GRAY COURT Grief will dim our faces If the beech is burning Mid the roofs of town Copper in the sun- For the wide sky spaces Hearts will oft be turning WVhere the stars look down. Where our dreams were spun. NVe shall often wonder VV e, thy loving daughters, fLost in cities tally Now our pathway parts, If the waves still thunder By thy gleaming waters On the gray sea-wall. Shrine thee i11 our hearts. 34
