How can we express our gratitude to you and our deep admiration, for, as a leader in the schcol, you have raised greatly the standard of attainment. Always have regard for duty and your love for Birmingham been uppermost in your mind. Yet, we shall never forget that you, with all your responsibilities, have had time for your friends. And, a friendship with you has meant much to us, for we could depend upon you to be sincere and trustworthy and sound, no matter what the circumstances might be. You have held yourself above the petty trifles that have annoyed us oftentimes-your life here has been marked by books, deep thoughts, service, and good cheer. Good cheer, a smile and a kind word for everyone, you have had. just keep on, Harriet, as you have doneg we're all with you, for, you who have been a friend, now have many friends.

For who but jean would try to put the world right by means of such a sucf cessful method? Her songs have cheered so many hearts that her friends are countless. But, we wonder, what is this priceless gift of Jean's that has assured her continuous happiness? Well, I'll tell you what we all think. She is different because she is genuine, and because she is earnest in making others happy. Her kindness and happy heart are never assumed, for indeed, they are prompted by her true desire to see a smiling world. jean's versatility is proved by the many attainments for which she has received wellfdeserved praise. In her Y. W. C. A. work, she has given us lovely thoughts and helped us all to a clearer under' standing ofthe right and to a desire for a higher motive in life. We know jean will always be happy, for we know she will always be loved. Twerityforie Margaret if illllvlanphg Honolulu, Hawaii CTwo Years?

'32 Secretary Senior Class, '32 Her voice was ever soft, gentle and low, an excellent thing in woman. HPEGGYH Wheii Peggy came to us two years ago, she brought with her much of the charm and mystery of Hawaii, a mellow voice, a stately walk, and a gentleness which made us think at once of South Seas and soft winds. She does the hula beautifully, too, and quite thrilled her audience at the Cabaret. She has certainly been a most useful Secretary to our Senior Class, which proves that, with all her charm, she has a business sense. Would you believe it? She is domestic, too, and will be quite a treasure for some nice person in the days to come. She has a flashing smile that cheers the one on whom it is bestowed, and she is always eager to help a fellow out of difficulty. She has made a line proctor, both in study hall and on the corridor, and she has been a great help on our Cricket board. Honors have been easy for Peggy to attain. Peggy is gracious, and one can easily see her as a pleasing hostess. Welre wondering what interested her most during her two vacations in New York. Her enthuf siasm would certainly show that there must have been much of interest. There seem to be great things in store for you, Peggyrfa pleasant life in other schools and in travel. We know that you will give your best, and therefore, get the best in return.

Soupy No wonder that name Soupy brings a smile. Not the humor of it, but the love of it. Folf lowing in the steps of her sister,Soupy is a Happy the second. Laughing and gay, Soupy has most efficiently gone through two years at Birmingham, making a score of friends who can never be lost. Maybe, because of Soupy's position as candy store manager, she has acquired her sweetness, but we all know that it really was there all the time. And we mustn't forget that Soupy is near the top of the academic list. But one of the things for which we admire Soupy most of all is her taste in clothing. Not only has she quality in her clothing, but quantity. Soupy also is domestic. For one whole term, she made what is known as a howling success in the Senior Tea Room. And as though that were not domestic enough she kept her room in perfect order. Is it any wonder now that such a girl should find welcome popularity among her classmates? No, because we all love you, Soupy, and will be with you in whatever you do. Twentyftlrree Hllarir E. Anhrwm Crafton. Pennsylvania C One 'Yearl Green Hockey Squad.

What would we do without someone to quietly help us along when the sea has become a little choppy? Marie has the gift of discerning the best things in life and appreciating them. Even this trait she shares with others for, in the lovely themes she writes, there is always a sense of fineness and an expression of excellent qualities which suggest her own character. Her achievements have been quietly attained, and she has gained much in her work here at Birmingham. Maries sincerity has proved her greatest charm, a charm by which she has endeared herself to all of us. Her next step will be Wells College where she will also be regarded highly, because of her sweet dispositiong they will love her there as we have here. When her name is mentioned, we will always be conscious of the saying, just to have known her has been a gain. Twentyffowr Ehith Eailrg Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania C Three Tears!

Eoin Someone to deftly slip a basketball to a more spectacular but no more skilful playerg someone to substitute with a nice soprano in the choirg someone to make first honors and not even tell anyone so, someone to proctor tactfully that is Edith Bailey. Complete naturalness and a charming lack of pretense and posing make her worthwhile. Edith never tries to seem anything that she is notg but, we know, she is a lot more than she thinks she is. It may be trite to talk about smiles, but Edith's smile is by no means trite, for she smiles because she is glad to see people, and that is the best of reasons for smiling. And then she is so enthusiastic about doing things, and she is grateful for and appreciative of so much that most people take for granted. She also is one of the remarkable people who can be nice to everyone whether she gets any results from being nice or not. The Cricket has been helped by her originalityg the Green teams, both in hockey and in basketball, owe her a vote of thanksg we Seniors owe her many, many thanks for just being nice to us.

Not only with a flaming coiffure does janet revert to the great artists, but, l'm sure that the great masters would feel janet's power of expression when she is playing the piano, and would be def lighted with the living beauty of her singing. Many times have we stopped our tasks to listen to the inspiring tones of janet's voice as she practices in the music studio. janet's wonderful musical ability seems to be a part of her life. It has created her inner character. Not many of us have learned to know Janet as well as we would have liked, but we have seen a few things about her that are impossible to overlook. janet is generous in recognizing her neighbors' good points and virtues and just as generous in overlooking their faults. Now that Janet is leaving us we want to send her away wishing for her the greatest success with her music and hoping that some day her ambition to study music in Italy will be realized.

Yes, of course, is hIofEllen. One's first thought of her is that, for she has certainly won a reputation for her unusual sense of humor, and her wit. It keeps us stepping when Jo is along, for she is always just one step ahead. You can imagine what a good Editor of jokes she has made for the Cricket. Leading cheers is another long suit, she bounced about, quite a clown, putting pep into the Golds until they nearly raised the roof. If you ever get in bad spirits and want a cure, just call jo around and you'll be well in no time. She sings, and, as Nora in the Operetta, she was excellent, she has also occupied the choir loft for two years. As Secretary and Treasurer ofthe Glee Club, she showed her skill in handling money. Well, well jofEllen. And did she ever get ads for the PINE NEEDLE? We have her wily tongue to thank for securing those ads from stubborn business men. Much of Jo's time has been spent filling our hungry mouths from the Y. W. Candy Store, and the Senior Tea Room, which she managed for a term. She made both hockey and swimming teams for the Golds, and, as Corporal, she guided her squad through drill. From Elkins, West Virginia? Yes, and say, jo, do they grow more like you there? We'd like to know, for it is to those like you that Birmingham will gladly open her doors.

MARY One of the most individual persons in our school is Mary. Mary has ideas of note and these ideas are expressed with great emphasis. In other words, Mary has what is commonly known as a mind of her own. She is an excellent judge of character and how often we have suffered when Mary has goodfnaturedly pointed out some true defect in our character. Mary is able to express herself with an accuracy and straightforwardness of which we are all envious. We are not surprised to hear that Mary is fond of reading, No wonder she has such an extensive vocabulary and no wonder her knowledge is so general. Perhaps her readf ing has developed in her, her rather subtle sense of humor. The people who are closely assof ciated with Mary are kept amused by her running fire of comments and quick, witty ref torts. Surprisingly enough, Mary has an unbounded knowledge of sea life. But we know the source of thisfher summers spent on a yacht. Perhaps this knowledge of sea life accounts for Mary's interest in the Annapolis Naval Academy. Twentyfnine Nanrg E.

There is no mistaking that. When one entireclass decided that she should be its stateliest Senior, something must have prompted their decision. just look at Nancyffyou'll see. What would Miss Perine do if she didn't have Nancyls eyes to rave ahout, and her smile, and her fine carriage, and her gentle air? Now, Nancy is a girl who is fortunate in being ahle to enjoy herself without losing her dignity. Example of that statement was given the night of the elections when Miss Christopher was seen crawling, with a friend, down the study hall floor. Even then, we caught a glimpse of dignity. Nancy thrives on tuna fish, loves driving a car, is not affectionate with girls, and is very domestic. She enjoys sewing, cooking, and dusting, in short, she would love to make a happy home for someone. And, believe me, she will not lack the opportunity, judging from what I hear. Furthermore, she is very conscientious, frank, honest, and always a true friend. A gentle womanf' that's Nancy. Thwty 13111121 Mnhharh Qllzirkr fTl1TCC 'Ycarsl Art Club.

She has an air about her, quiet, friendly, and unassuming, an air which sets her apart, makes her unique and individual. Puggys face is frank, Puggy is frank, indeed, she is frankness itself and despises hypocrisy. Being keen, she can question deeply the truth in another's heart. Let the person who is suspected beware. How often have we leen discovered in a dissembling act by Honest joan? She has the courage of her convictions, and stands up for her beliefs, no matter what others may think. She loves beauty beauty of earth, beauty of life, beauty of love. Her true artist's nature rejoices in such things. How much of her time she spends taking happiness and love into the lives of unfortunate children, showing them tenderness and sympathy. She has been given a gift, sought after, not always found by others, the ability to make friendsxwith everyone. And now, Puggy, the parting time has come. Go through life as you have gone through the life here, you will be happy and you will take our love with you.

HFLOPQQ Notice this tall, stately person coming toward us thats Florence. We have only known her for two years, but we have discovered in those two years that there are innumerable things to say about her. She has graced the choir with a figure handed down from the ever famous Venus. She has made us envious with her clothes by Chanel and Andre. Besides these feminine accomplishments, Flop is an athlete of no mean ability. She upheld the Green Team in hockey, basketball, and swimming. Another thing about Flop, her disposition is listed as one of the best. To hear Flop's laugh makes you feel a part of her almost perpetual good humor. There is an unusual characteristic about Flop. She is highly dramatic. If it were not that Flop has other ambitions, we would almost expect her to study dramatics. Somef times we find Flop in a sad mood, and then we discover it is best to leave her alone, until suddenly her laugh rings out again and we know that everything is all right. So much for the social Florence. Academically, she is somewhat of a student. Her work is all done in a most conscientious manner and thorough, too. For this reason, we know that she will suc' ceed in whatever school she attends and in whatever work she undertakes. Let us not say goodbye-just good luck and always be the same dear girl that we all love. Thwtyftwo Sara Ee illnrh Youngstown, Ohio CTliree Tearsl Botany Prize, '31 Cold Hockey Squad.

'32 all these arts in wluclt the wise excel, Natures chief masterpiece is writing well. HSARIEU Two qualities that we should all like to possess are wellfdeveloped in Saraethose two being the ability to fail without making alibis, and the ability to accept Fate in the spiritof Well, rain's my choice. Sara writes well enough to stir people into alittle thinking, plays hockey and basketball well enough to make it dangerous for her opponents, and takes enough responsibility to make us all a little ashamed of ourselves. She is individually and distinctly Sara De Ford-in her good sense of humor, in her depth of character, in her left' handed scribbling of intricate math problems all over Miss Cryder's blackboard, and in her almost fierce perseverance at anything she undertakes. As a member of Student Council, Sara, because of integrity and honesty in the minutest details, has helped to increase and uphold Birmingham's sense of honorg as chairman of the Devotional Committee she has helped us all spirituallyg and, in her consistent gaining of first honors, she has capped the scholarship record of the Senior Class. The thread of beauty in her poetry, and the cord of vigor in her athletics and studies entwine themselves and run through her character, makf ing her the versatile type of girl who will do what she sets out to do. So it will not in the least surprise us to see Sara robed in the judicial robes of which she dreams. Therefore, instead of showing astonishment, we will only say, We are extremely glad and proud to have known her at Birmingham.

'32 A little, tiny, pretty, witty, charming darling she. HENRY Oh, I wouldnlt say that, That must be Henri. And do you know why that is her favorite expression? Because Henri's sweet disposition prevents her from saying anything unkind about her friends. Didn't she show us an example of her sweetness as the gracious little Noreen bringing the lovers together in the Cperetta? And isnlt it natural that a per' son with such a disposition should also have a wonderful voice with which to express some of her happiness? Henri surprised us last fall, though, when she showed us on the hockey field the way a left wing should play really good hockey. Besides all this sweetness and athletic ability, we must remember how in Roxyls Ballet with which we were entertained at the winter dance, little Henri danced about with all the agility and grace of a fawn. And perhaps you did not hear of the lovelorn suitor who one night, having the desire to hear Henrils voice, telephoned her at two olclock in the morning, arousing Mrs. Moulton from her peaceful slumbers. And now, Henri tells us that she is going to continue her education at Carnegie Tech. Well, Henri, we hope you fill the people there as you have us with your spirited joy in living.

HFOOTKEH Bringing a touch of languid Southern charm, Eleanor instills calm into Birmingham life. She is a restful sort of person, never foolishly hurrying anything and never uselesslygetting excited. I believe that she would never willingly bear a grudge against anyone, she would be much more apt to quietly forgive. Her modesty is one of those genuine qualities that is not feigned. We have seen evidences of it in the way she played basketballfentirely for the team, not for the grandstandg and also, in the way she proctored in jolly Hall-not because she felt herself better than others, but because Birmingham had asked her to do the task. Have we ever heard her complain or pity herself? Perhaps it is her modesty, or unselfishness that keeps her from complaining. Another enviable quality that this girl possesses is the courage to climb upon a horse, stay there, and, after the manner that she does everything, ride modestly. Now that we are leaving Birmingham, We sincerely Wish the very best of happiness to this girl who has learned the value of being calm and unperturbed.

'32 Endurance is the cmwmng quality And patience all the passion of great l1ea'rts. FRANKlE Seldom does one person perfect to the same extent two such contrasted talents as are painting and athletic ability. Coral, a real artist and a real athlete has shown us that, diflicult as it may be, it can be done. Whether by patiently stringing up stars to decorate the gym, or by straightening lines in military drill, or by conscientiously keeping track of herself and her corridor at the same time, she has quietly been doing a lot for Birmingham all the time, without expecting thanks. Some of the grace of her very good aesthetic dancing she puts into her amazing basketball playing. The onlookers stop gripping the edge of their seats and sit back comfortably when Coral gets the ball. She executes her office as Lieutenant of Military Drill authoritatively without being ostentatious and that in itself is an art. Peo' ple follow her because she knows exactly what she is doing. So you see that Coral makes of anything that really interests her, a great success. I hardly know what Birmingham will do without her, for she is a part of the atmosphere we have loved, an atmosphere of real ac' complishment and real sportg and, as for our Senior Class, we won't soon forget the indif viduality of the small, redfhaired, stylish, military Coral Frank whom we will always in memory see saluting a giant with her baton.

HPAGEQ-. A pair of dancing gray eyes and a winning smile framed by a quantity of soft, brown hair make up our Page. What would we do without her? It is hard to imagine Birmingham with' out this peppy maiden who has achieved so much and has asked so little. Hers is a wonder' fully happy facu'ty, that of making gray skies blue again, indeed, it seems to be a habit of hers to cheer people up. And then, Page gets great joy out of just doing things. There is little she cannot do in the way of athletics, and what enthusiasm she puts into her play. But energy and pluck are not all that are characteristic of Page, she seems to go much more deeply into life than that.

Because of this attractive personality, she was honored by the girls as Chairman of the New Girls' Party. We remember the great success she made of her under- taking. The Tea Room, too, knew her as its manager for one term. Ability to serve the savory things we ate there will be good bait for some lucky man. In the one year Mary Emily has been with us she has accomplished things that have left a lasting impression. Her work has been outstanding, she made Second School Hockey Team, and the Settlement is grateful for her interest. Mary Emily is a dreamer, she sees things some of us are incapable of seeing, the poetic beauty of things, so inspired have her writings seemed to us. We expect this talent to develop in the years to come. Most generous was the class vote for her, and she is indeed worthy of that term. We envy you your fine qualities, Mary Emily.

HKATEH The very nicest thing that can be said about a girl is that she lives up to the traditions of her sex. This fact is particularly true of Kathryn, for her gentility, dignity, and integrity make for her the type of person most fitted to represent a school such as Birmingham. We have all gasped at her scholastic ability and the uncanny mathematical brain of which she is apparently unaware. Most of all, we admire the willfpower that keeps her plugging away and, in the end, puts her away up at the head, on the list of honor girls, Her sense of humor and her ability to be opportunely carefree round out the circle of her extremely likable qualities. Because of these many characteristics it is fun and, at the same time, interesting to be with her. She is nice to talk to because one can be pretty sure that she is capable of putting her conversation above gossip. The Initiation Committee discovered her excellent sportsmanship early in the gameg and, ever since then, we have enjoyed that gift as much as anything else in her. So, because of all these things, Kathryn is one ofthe people we will not want to stop knowing when Birmingham days are over.

She reminded me of Myrna Loy, but they tell me her name is Bea Mary. Bea Mary is most romantic and even better-Y she is domestic. It will be a lucky day for someone when Bea Mary starts to keep house for him. She is the very last word in neatness. Her room is always neat and her personal appearance is immaculate. You would never guess it, but Bea Mary can cook, too. There are tales of the dinner parties that Bea Mary has given and for which she cooked the food herself. And have you ever heard of Bea Mary's original manner of preparing herself for breakfast? When the rising bell rings, Bea Mary partly dresses, thene she climbs back into bed until the last bell rings. At this moment, she snatches a final garment and putting her hair into place she dashes down to the dining room. Let us hope that Bea Mary will always prove herself as efhcient as this.

Three years ago, when johnny, as a Sophomore, had hrst come to Birmingham, she, of all the new girls who were taught the manual of arms, was the most outstanding. Was it because Johnny held the State Woman's Trapshooting Championship? In lesser things as well Johnny excels, bridge for instance. In truth, I believe she carries a deck of cards and a pencil in every pocket- perhaps Bridges taught her to do that. A sentimental person, too, is johnny, and as temperaf mental and brilliant a girl as you could find. Really, she is hard to understand. For one moment, most moments in fact, she is chuckling heartily, and the next, she is sitting silent, pensively thinking.

Now, in the green of the spring, when the promise of life is returning, They will rejoice that in us their dream has grown into being, Knowing with infinite wisdom that all things come to an ending, Reach their fulfilment and pass to give place to the ones that are coming: This dream is a consummate being and like the others it passes, Leaving behind the slow ache of an absence that has no returning, Leaving behind but a mem'ry of gray buildings etched in the twilight, A fountain that bubbled at nightfall and a song that rippled so clearly Mingled with laughter whose freshness dies away into silence. See from the space that was empty rises the gift that they gave us, Carefully saved through the years so that now at the end we may share it We have been given a trust from the past we have scorned and forgotten We, too, have seen what they saw and into the silence we bear it, Mists rise up from the past and dim veils hang over the future, But high in the heavens above, shines the Gleam whose glow is the Light Sixtyfone ff' 'Y' -W3 CICJPU 0112155 Eistnrq Ivlany a seaworthy ship had heen huilt hefore that which was christened Ye Good Ship 19323 hut surely none of them ever sailed a more spectacular voyage manned hy a more singular crew, a crew composed entirely of lassies, not laddies. Every mother's child of us had a life's story which held as good an evenings entertainment as a gang of homesick land luhhers could wish for. There was none of us afearing the voyage on a ship owned hy Daddy Grierg hut some were for letting their no 'count thoughts turn to home, which is no way to start setting sail on any length o' sea. Luckily, those were easily stowed away when the hest o' them whols ever sailed a sea, our own Skipper Pop, started to help us get our sea legs. 'Twas a cloudless day, hearing no ill winds, when we did lirst emhark from the Septemf hris Street Dock, No. 20. We heard the Skipper mutter, Me lassies, we ain't afarin' so had for havin' to take on such a mite this trip. Now there's a husky who, I'll swear hy old Davy jones, is agoin' to stand the gafff' And we glanced around to see a good looking lass step ahoard. Her name we soon learned was Blatt. The hreeze was hlowing ahout her shorn locks. She possessed a masterful air, one with which she later accomplished an amazing numher of things during the voyage, thus endearing herself to all. We saw Blatt stop to rest only once during her four trips. A second after she had climhed ahoard, she stopped for a hreath hefore hauling up her companions. She seemed to exhale freedom. She straightened up as if to draw in strength to tackle the many tasks which she was to come to know and which would seem to change her from a funfloving girl to a serious, ahle leader who assumed responsibilities no one else would dream of hearing. Une of lvlaster Seaman Blatt's colleagues, helped ahoard with her, was Westcott, who was always houncing around. She was a rollicking, spirited kid, having a tremendous amount of pep which was not wasted, and she soon gained ready recognition in the athletics practiced ahoard the ship. We had just turned hack to our duty of getting the ship well under way, thankful that these two held merits which would he needed in a later part of the voyage, when Blatt, stepping aside, revealed a very tiny person. To he frank, one could not imagine a heing so small and so ahle as she proved to he. Frankie, as she came to he called, proved to he a most valuahle seaman. ln Drill and Athletics she was conspicuous, and, too, she had a much to he envied irtistic sense which often helped some of us who couldn't draw even our own conclusions. Now with this amazing trio the ship passed safely through dangerous shoals until it was time to secure new shipmates. First, there was Bailey, a short lassie who came to make the inseparahle pair, Bailey and Williams, then, their comrade, Bell, who distinguished herself as a four letter girl, A. W. C. LJ Away Without Official Leave. Szxtprtwo By the seven seas, murmured the Skipper. L'Are we to have that celebrity, Myrna Loy, this passage? But, no, it came to be one Hogue bearing a striking resemblance to the aforef mentioned. Arm in arm with her was Clarke, with whom, it seemed, Hogue had had a difficult time inducing her to come along. The task had finally been accomplished when it was learned that we intended to pass through State College where Puggy could get her Phil of good times. Close on their heels, we saw one whose countenance could not be viewed because of the wall of hooks she bore. This scholarly person, DeFord, excelled in many other fields, but how we envied the ease with which she conquered Virgil and figured out her Math. Following her, came Eleanor, one of the Moore twins of Oil City, and from the neighboring precinct of Franklin, came johnny Zerbe, a straightforward young maid, who, as a rule, never crossed her Bridges before she came to them, but we later heard rumours to the effect that this discretion had been forgotten once, at home, in that famed town of Franklin, Pennsylvania. 'iGuess what! shouted Page Gemmill to the fair Eleanor Footer with whom she was trying to catch up. But even Page of the charming personality, failed to extract a single word from her. A veritable sphinx she became, despite which, we all enjoyed Eleanor's company on the voyage. Gemmill, who had accompanied her in, was a frisky one, always racing ahead of everyone to reach the top, and invariably succeeding. Popular? Well, you have to struggle to see her alone. If you entered the Porch Suite to speak to Page a minute, sixty people were offended. The group who, but a moment before, had been standing there, now found ourselves in immediate proximity to the deck as we sprawled in most outlandish positions, for suddenly the boat had begun to careen madly back and forth for no apparent reason whatsoever. Heavefho, me heartiesln roared the Skipper. wTis the cargo, the cargo, she's slipped! We turned to go below when suddenly a very apparent reason swung over the rail. Never mind, Lewis chuckled, 'Tm really going on a diet tomorrow. The fear reigning in our hearts was stilled for the time being, and then we found out that I.ewis's password was always, Tomorrow, And so it was that, with this lively crew, the ship once again began to plow the waters toward Port June. But we found a stop had to be made to take on a belated passenger, one Bowers, the jolliest of mariners, one who was always seen just asprintin' round the corners. Not long after we sighted land, and the expert guidance of Skipper Pop's skilled hand brought us slowly into port where we docked at '31 and from whence we left but a few months later having taken on a still larger crew, Soupy Campbell had come all the way from Little Rock, Arkansas, leaving a raft of admirers to pine away. What a piece of work she did as Ship's purser on its next voyage! Then came a tall, stately maid, Christopher, from London, Ohio. From the nearby port of Pittsburgh, we took on Pierce and Smith. Smith, in reality, we came to know as Pierce's keeper, for, so small was the latter, she oft did hide behind the ropes. Crow also hailed from Pittsburgh, and we soon came to guide our course, as straight as the Crow flies. Hooker and Myers, the latter of blonde fame, stepped up the gangplank, completely ex' hausted by their long trip from Tyrone, Hooker learned the seaman's life easily, for, you know an Annapolis midshipman can do much for one! just then a slim, vivacious child danced up, concealing, to all appearances, the keen rivalry which tended to exist, from then on, between her and De FordfWoolcock, of New Castle. She led us all a merry chase, and, most often emerged the victor. Suddenly a swish was heard, and there followed a beautiful, soft song, we saw a graceful figure, wearing a grass skirt, appear. Melanphy increased our already exaggerated ideas of Hawaii, and how her soft voice could caress ones tired mind as she described her native haunts. Ctway, whom we recognized as the owner of the lulling voice, soothed our uneven tempers when we were wont to turn them loose. And, to top it all off, Magill, a collegiate looking youngster from Princeton, boarded the vessel with a determined look which we all came to know well, a look which carried her through her many difficult exploits. Sixtyftlfwee And again we set sail, the elements favoring us. Shortly, though, we noticed a tug appear on the horizon, it approached rapidly. It turned out to be bearing a belated mate, Haines, who had hesitated, being a little wary of taking such a drastic step as that of leaving her loved Sayre, finally she made up her mind. She was a lovable person, we were glad we had not missed her. This time we set sail in earnest, determined to make the most of the voyage before we docked, previous to our last journey. Wiley, another one from farfoif regions, Paris, in Illinois, accompanied Mary Campbell of Butler, that plice of Austin fame. San had one of those particular ucomefhitheru looks, and how she did use that asset on the opposite sex! Mary? She was the girl of the disastrous line on which many a good person was un' knowingly hung. Maties, and this time the Skipper's voice held an unmistakable quiver which he made no attempt to conceal, 's'Tis the last time the Good Ship will slide from her runways. She's been the best 0' vessels and stood up under many a strain. Every one of us felt deep in our hearts the surging desire to put forth all our effort and make it the best ever. So, to begin, we took on only the very best in the land to help us see our last trip through. HI-Ii! I know most of you, admitted McCullough chummily. She was from nearby Mercersburg and had visited our Ship many times, although this was her first chance to sail on it. Not far behind we saw that vicious pair from Indiana, Musser and Stewart. As they neared the gangplank, we stood stupehedg for, lo, they had met with an accident. But a moment later we breathed more easily, for, as the smoke of battle cleared, Ginny had merely pushed Betty into some convenient barberry bushes. As soon as little Henry De Haven from Port Pittsburgh arrived she took an instantaneous liking for helpless Betty and thus rescued her from the relentless grasp of Ginny. From the same Port came Andrews. She met Ginter of Harrisburgh at the gate, so they approached together. These two were immediately seized by Miss Perine as perfect examples possessing those coveted qualities of unity, coherence and emphasis in their written expression. Lo! Were we seeing the waves of the sea sweep over the land? No, only Brewer nearing, topped by that ever perfect coiffure. And still our crew came, one Mary Raymond who shared the honors with Christopher as being the stateliest members on board. Their calm wasn't affected in the least even when swelling strains of resistless, mystic music was brought to us by the radio. Ladies and gentlemen of the radio audience, boomed an appealing male voice. This is the hnal concert of our guest artist, Miss Gladys Schneider, who leaves tomorrow for a roundfthefworld cruise on that veteran vessel, 1932 After Gladys had come aboard the next day, we turned to welcome the remaining three who would complete the list of those sailing. We feel sure that poor Kathryn Haverstick could describe every nook and cranny of the Ship's Infirmary, rather than the dim, general outline of its exterior appearance, so much of her time did she spend in the former. Kathryn's shipmate, Eleanor Middleton, was a native inhabitant of the Quaker settlement of Penn' sylvania, and she did seem to have come to rival Footer of Maryland as far as silence was concerned. And last, but not least, the tiniest of our recent lot, Kathryn Ruff, did come 'midst cheers of Mickey, hurry up. Thus it was that with this Crew of forty odd, we did sail Outward Bound on a sea which brought its joys and sorrows alike to us all. It is the memory of the last night which haunts me now. I lay in my bunk, restless at the thought of parting burdening my mind. Finally I wandered to the deck and stood spellbound. The sky was black velvet with stars like pinpoint beads studding it, and the rippling water met it afar off. A moonlight path led seemingly to the very place I stood. I thought I glimpsed a distant spectral shape, a knight on horseback, perhaps. I blinked and looked again, and suddenly the significance of the spectre broke on my clouded mind, as from somewhere, a voice whispered, 'LFollow it! Follow the Gleamf' Sixtyffour he! Al N 41 Qllmm Idrnplierg The envelope lies hefore meg it is dated July 1, 10521 it is an invitation to a Reunion at Birmingham of the Class of 1932. Birmingham! Years have not erased the memories of that haven on the hill, that symphony of green rills and gray hills, lvlue shutters matching the sky. Twenty years have passed since I was graduated, yet I have not forgotten. I can see it now: and sometimes ifI close my eyes, I can hear the sound of cracking sticks on the hockey held, the moving trunks in the hall, laughing girls, slamming doors. I feel the tznsenzss of exams. the tautness of match gamesg I can feel the exaltarion of graduation, I can almost see the faces of those eager, laughing, wonderful girls with whom I was graduated on that dusky, hittersweet night in Alune so long agog and now I realize that those days were the happiest, those the gayest, the dearest in all my life. The sun shone a little lwrighter theng hearts were a little lighter. I am wondering where they all are. I should like to see them all again and say with a smile, just the same after all these years. I wonder if they would laugh when they discovered that I who had planned a very dashing and different life had settled down in a sulwurh with a sane, serious huslwand, four terrilic children, and dogs! Now my mind is made up. I fly tonight to a Reunion at Birmingham. I have a rendezvous with the graduating class of 1032. Cheerio! Pk DI4 ?I4 That isn't Birminghamg that can't he Birminghamg yet. it is strangely familiar. Yes, it is Birmingham a great glistening Birmingham, a maze of parallelograms stretching to the sky. Shining annexes lie hasking in the moonlight. Oh. the change, the change! I sighg and, then, I see the pines, those tall, oldffashioned, reassuring pines. Birmingham can't he so changed if those pines still stand faithfully. But I must not sentimentalize: my plane idle in midfairg where shall I land? Then I see the sign, Visiting planes land on roof. I swoop down inf trigued hy it all. I am earlyg only one plane rests with mine. It isa great autogyro hearing the initials, I'I. B. Harriet Blatt, the President of the Class stands lveside it, i'I'Iarrietl Ginnyl We fall upon each other and lwoth talk at once. I'Iarriet is dressed smartly as always and a trifle exotically. She has hecome an actress, a clever, polished actress and is hailed as a second Katharine Cornell. She is famous, and the toast of Broadway. I knew her when ....., . Above our talk comes the roar of an alighting plane. We hear a strange melody of childish Sixtyffire prattle. A plane lands, a door flings open and a child scrambles out, followed by another and another and another. Harriet and I cling to each other as ten children are laughing, screaming, quarreling about us. Out of the exhausted plane steps Betty Lewis. So Betty Lewis has finally decided to live in Sistersville and have all her ten children. We all dance a little j ig of joy and settle ourselves in the luxurious roof garden. lt has been decided that we meet here and then go downstairs to meet Pop. All the little Betty Lewises play about us in wild confusion. Betty sits in the midst serene and happy. Before long, out of the night, comes a great lighted passenger plane which glides to the roof. What a joyous sight! Page Gemmill, Betty Hooker, Mimi Woolcock, followed by Mary Emily Ginter, Mary Raymond, and Kate Haverstick. Betty is smart looking and very tanned. She has been wintering on the Riviera. Betty is too modest to say, but we hear she is the social darling of Paris. Page bursts forth as dashing as ever. She has married her doctor and is the proud parent of squealing twins. Mimi, Mary Emily, Kate, Mary and Barbara have realized their dreams and live in a penthouse on the top of the Empire State Building. Mary Emily, Mimi, and Mary Raymond have turned to writing, and Barbara and Kate are the charming buyers you see in Macy's. They tell us that they have sighted a private Blimp, Birminghamfbound. Sure enough, the moon reveals a great white bulk floating down on the roof. In it, Bea Mary, San Wiley, Puggy Clarke, and Nancy Christopher. Bea Mary, because she so closely resembles Myrna Loy, has succeeded that lady in the cinema. Bea Mary's Saturday Night Voice has stood her in good stead. San Wiley and Nancy Christopher have been on the stage for ten years with the wellfknown Theater Guild. They both are recognized as true artists+a glamorous pair these two! Puggy Clarke has become an artist and in an aerial studio, suspended over New York Harbor, she paints while the ships glide to and fro below. Now, we hear from below that cars are coming up the drive, filled with Seniors. Chatterf ing like magpies, we forsake our charming roof garden and make our way to a near-by elevator. We fall swiftly and proceed along a great corridor. The location is familiar, of course it is, for it is Crow's Nest, no heads popping out into the halls. We drop one more flight and there we greet Pop. The years have dealt gently with Pop. He is a little gray, perhaps, but still jolly-f -still Pop. Then, in truth, there is wild confusion. The smiles, the tears which reminiscence brings, Seniors engulf us. jerry Westcott as gay and laughing as ever, Coral Frank, little but poised, and Edith Bailey are touring the world with the Olympics. What a trio! They are bronzed and gay with Sport America bowing in admiration before them. Soupy Campbell arrives accompanied by the illustrious jo Ellen Bowers. Soupy has grown dearer with the years and in her wake come three adorable infants, drawling out their words in that familiar Southern way. jo Ellen has grown dignified. She is comfortably married in her home town, Pumpkins Corner, and thinks life is still the nuts. Betty Musser, Henri De Haven, and Mary Camp' bell came into view. Betty and Henri are both very smart looking and very Frenchy. They have been modeling clothes for the daughter of the great Chanel. Mary bursts forth, her face beaming, her spirits high. She has been sailing the Seven Seas in her yacht, L'The Who Cares. She is as funny as ever and has, above all, remained true to the Navy. Esther Smith and Doris Pierce appear. Both have become social favorites in Pittsburgh, and have brought much to that fair city. Sixtyfsix Frances McCullough appears. She has returned to her dear Mercersburg and is cooking eggs for a chosen male. Dorothy Otway, Jean Haines, and Janet Bell are the prima donnas of the class. All these have been in opera, all three are sought afterg all three are famous. jean's eyes still twinkle as she recalls her premier appearance as a prima donna in the im' mortal opera L'The Wishing Well. To these three we bow in admiration. Mary Magill enters accompanied by the blonde Maxine Myers, Gladys Schneider, and Flop Grow. Mary has married the president of that ancient institution Princeton and is having quite the time of her life serving tea to charming young gentlemen. Maxine is Tyrone's greatest social asset and has brought no end of fashion to that city. Gladys Schneider has just completed a concert tour in which she toured the continent of Europe. She has become truly accomplished. Flop has married a Pittsburgh banker and has a house full of children which she neglected to bring along fortunately. Marie Andrews, Sara De Ford, and Eleanor Middleton loom into view. Marie has turned out to be that which we all predicted, an author. She stands an excellent chance of winning the Nobel Prize of 1952. I wonder if she still remembers the awe she instilled into us when she stood before Miss Perine's English Class and read If I Were Drowning. Sara De Ford has become a poet of national recognition. She travels extensively and writes poignant little poems of moods and impressions. To Marie and Sara we doff our hats. Eleanor has developed her English ability in no mean way. She has proved herself to be a most efficient editor of that highly esteemed paper, the New 'York Times. Eleanor Moore has founded in Oil City an orphan asylum which is said to be the model in Pennsylvania. She has brought happiness to many a little orphan heart. Speaking of writing, Kathryn Ruff has done remarkably. Kathryn's short stories appear frequently in the Atlantic Monthlyi' and Harper's. Glancing out of the living room win- dow I see an absurd little gyro landing in old Ivy Court. Peggy Melanphy, Eleanor Footer, and johnny Zerhe stand before us. Peggy has remained true to the land of her dreams, Ha' waii, where she lives with her charming Navalfofficer husband under the azure sky. Eleanor Footer has found happiness on a lovely Kentucky plantation, raising horses, flowers, and children. johnny Zerbe has just returned from game hunting in Africa with her geologist husband. What stories johnny can tell, no doubt, of lions, tigers, and jungle lore. She is as jolly as ever. jungle life agrees with her. By this time, the din of greetings has ceased, and we now sit around in little groups in the library, talking. I sit apart a little, marveling. Here, before me is the Class of '32 the best in the world. The girls have changed a little, hair a little gray, but they are still the girls I knew and loved so many years ago. Since leaving the Good Ship Birmingham, they have encountered stormy weather perhaps. Seas have been choppy sometimes and rain has fallen. Thank God they are not too sepaf rated, and too famous to gather around in that old room back in Birmingham to report the last item in the Good Ship's Log of 1932 Seas calm. And now, Farewell.

Secretary cmd 'Treasurer ANN AIKBUCKLE ANN BYRON VIRGINIA MCUNKS SCIPCTIIYSLX N iff linrtrait nt' at ijnung C6111 illeminisring In the Beginning- Yes, and she said I had to write it , . . an account of the social events at Birmingham in '32 . . . Truthfully speaking, there never was a more wonderful school . . . All the chiselers in New York couldn't have established a better institution , . . But I didn't know exactly how to begin . . . lt's a difficult task, you know, and I didn't feel myself equal to it . . . I can hear her urging me to write just what I thought of it all-my personal impressions and reactions , . . Go to it, she said. keep your head and spirits high and simply let loose . . . So I decided she was right and for the good of the PINE NEEDLE and the world in general I sat me down and just began at the beginning . . . The first thing I broadcasted the world over was the fact that the Class of '32 was the best ever and everything that had happened that year far surpassed all that the little dears of the Female Seminary had undertaken in previous times . . . Why I was ever chosen though as the one for this writefup is a mystery to me and arouses my suspicions no little bit . . . It might have been spring fever or just my general frambling nature, but for some reason or other I had a hard time getting started . . . Then with an Okay Birmingham and an 'Okay Seniors I hit the first proverbial nail on the head. This Faculty of Ours: Cab Calloway hasn't much on jo Malloy . . . If you could have heard those blues and red hot jazz tunes, you'd know why the Faculty Dance following the Reception was such a huge success . . . A bevy of beautiful girls garbed in striking white satins, crepes, and chiffons could be seen dancing lightly across the gymnasium floor, gathering in groups, laughing, talking, chattering . . . And was it a peppy dance? . . . l'll say it was, and a break for any lucky heaman . , . Quite a unique way, I think, of acquainting the students with those illustrious members of the Faculty. They Gravel in the Dust: And they did . . . I don't mean maybe . . . Those sofcalled New Girls didn't know where they were or why . . . It was Initiation and that explains everything . . . And you should have seen the Old Girls ordering them around . . . It was probably the only time any of them had ever had a chance to dictatewand did they ever take advantage ofir? . . Oh, well, why not? . . . They had all had their turn bowing down to some supposedly superior ones . , . Anyhow it was soon over . . . No more dim lights . . , no more grotesque figures . . . no more ridiculous antics being performed . . . but, more dancing among cornstalks . , . more eating of pumpkin pie . . . and more jolly laughter . . , New Girls and Old Girls were all alike to one another , . . No more strained feelings and everybody happy. Play Gwl of America: You can throw a couple corsages of orchids at the Green and Gold Hockey Teams . . . What a performance they gave on the hockey field Thanksgiving Day . . . Such hitting of balls, such defense playing, such passes on the forward linel . . . Sportsmanship and enthusiasm and athletic prowess the like of which have never been exhibited before or sincefnot in the days of Greek Games or in the present day Olympics . . . 'Twas worth a corsage of orchids, or two or three, to see the Gold Praefect accept the Athletic Trophy-a sure sign of the hard work, perseverance, and endless fighting spirit of her team . . . Come on, everybody, let's give three rousing cheers to the Golds first as the winners and to the Greens next as the best losers there ever were' U Turkeys, Turkeys, and Mme Turkeys: A stately dining room decorated after the fashion of a Roman Banquet Hall , . . White pillars entwined with green ivy while still more green hung from the ceiling , . , Another dining room in red with attractive red anchors bordering its walls . . . Another in blue having a large eagle with wings outspread over the entrance , . . still another in purple . . . All very striking, to be sure . . . Songs, cheers, laughter . , . A jolly spirit everywhere . . , Then the big event, the Turkey Parade as it has come to be called , , . And the carversl . . . Fat ones, thin ones. tall ones, short ones . , . all with a sickly grin of apology . . . bouncing the birds all over the china , . . And then the songs . , . Good Old Master Seamen . . . their songs mingled with ai tiny bit of sadness . . . Bing, goes the bell . . . The Award is being made to a weakfkneed Praefect, who murmurs a shy speech of thanks , . . Hot Dogs! . . . The insignia is being given outs-O you Varsity-Hush . . . Yes, it's the grand old Alma Mater . . . Kindly Mother . . . Old Birmingham . . , And the Master Seamen file gracefully out . . . Lips arquiver . . . All over? . . . No, it will live in memory forever , . . And so they talked far into the night. Stick By 'Your Guns and Keep Firing: What a caption, you exclaim . . . and you are quite right . . . lt does sound a bit crude, perhaps, and seems almost impossible that such an outburst could possibly be applied to any of the activities in a respectable girls' boarding school . . . Yes, let me emphasize the fact that this is a respectable female seminary , . , Well, to get to the point, l'm sure you must have heard of the Birmingham Company . . . N07 . . . why how strange, I thought everyone knew about the drill we have up here . . . Yes, I know, it is a very unusual feature in a girls' schoolw- but then we all like to be different now and then , . . What's that? . . . Do we drill with guns? , , . Well, of course Seventyfeight silly, who ever heard of drilling without them? . . . This particular event of which I am speaking so profusely is the Christmas Drill Down-a most interesting event to be sure . . . If you could have but seen it, I am sure you would agree with me that the girls are almost West Pointers in every detail in regard to precision, to attention, and to their general military bearing . . . To decide who was the best driller was no easy task, 'cause, I'm telling you it was mighty close competition all the way through , . .Sound Offs! Do 'You Believe in Santa Claus? About a hundred small children poorly clad, with faces uplifted at the wonder ofit all . . . their large dark eyes shining with a sort of pathetic joy . . . trying to Hgure it all out, anxious to know what kind fairy had come into their drab lives to bring such Christmas joy into their monotonous routines , , , But these thoughts did not trouble their little heads for long . . . they were soon too deeply absorbed in playing games among themselves and with the big girls and in running around that beautiful Christmas tree in the middle of the floor with all its trimmings, to think of anything else . . . And when Santa appeared! . , . I only wish you could have seen their happy faces . , . Why they had never really seen Santa before and here he had come all the way from the North Pole just to be with them . , , Gee, he must certainly be a wonderful man! . . . And the icefcream, too . . . And by the time the moving picture show was over, they were sure that there really was a Santa-you know, that guy in the red knickers . . , It was all too perfect . . . Their childish heads were filled with wonderful thoughts, their outstretched hands filled with wonderful toys, and their small tummies filled with wonderful goodies . . . But still it wasn't too much ofa wonderful thing, The Return of the Crew: Ship ahoy! . . . Last man on board . . . and once again the Good Ship Birmingham was on its way . . , Every sailor safe and sound returning to duty on time with happy hearts and thoughts of their i'leave left many miles behind . . . They all quite vigorously expressed their enthusiasm at being back on deck surrounded by the old familiar faces , . , All kinds of exciting things were in store for them and they awaited the coming events which had cast their shadows before them with no small amount of anticipation . . . Public Opinion and Hero Worship: It has been said and rightly so that nothing in the world travels faster than Rumor . . . Very often, the tale which Dame Rumor spreads around is so exaggerated that the original story is impossible to recognize . , . For once, however, this little lady was right . . . When she noised abroad the fact that there had never been another picture shown on the screen that could compare with Sky Devils, wasn't she right? . . . All the little dears were transported to Altoona in huge buses to see that aforementioned picture . . . and didn't every one of their little hearts miss a beat or two when that modern Apollo, that Greek God, oh, that simply perfect, Clark Gable made his appearance . . , I'm telling you I guess I know how every room was covered from floor to ceiling and from door to window with pictures of that perfectly handsome specimen of perfectly perfect man . . . Clark Gable was every Birminghamers idea of My Hero and for the next three months he was the cause of that very serious disease commonly termed heart palpitations . . . Anyway, that was the New Girls' Party , . , Need any more be said? . . . Certainly not , . . You should know hy now that we loved it all and enjoyed every minute. Athleticallv Speaking: The winter term brought with it a great deal of enthusiasm as far as sports were concerned . , , Basketball seemed to he the main point at issue along those lines , . . And what a game . , . what excitement . . , what cheering . . . what screaming . . . what shouting . . . and again, what a game! , , , The Greens walked off with the cup , . . They stole it right from under the noses of the Colds , . . lighting like grim death . . . great fighters . . . magnificent losers , . . Fair play and the Best Man Won , . . Three rousing cheers and a tiger for the Greens and the Golds . , . May their colors never fade, Dancing in the Dark: New York , , , yes, that's it . . . we're there at last! , , .The St. Regis Roof! . . . What a delightfully charming, exquisitely beautiful, remarkably romantic place . . . Tall, brightly lighted buildings looming heavenwards on all sides . . . Stars twinkling with a naughty gleam from out a soft black sky . . . A big yellow moon watching it all serenely from on high , . , What's this? . , . Oh, ofcourse, it's Cabaret . . . You know, that dreadfully exciting midfwinter dance given by the Seniors . . . Oh, it was too wonderful . . . The entertainment . . . The songs . . . The dancing . , . Soft music . . . Real men , . . Tender glances . . . The memory of it all thrills me to this day . . . I'll never forget it . . . Could you? . . , Could anyone? . . . Well, I hope not! Grand Opera? No not quite that, hut oh so delightful! . . . The Wishing Well . . . Some ofthe highfhat theater reviewers who attended the performance, said they had never seen anything quite like it , , , Original? . . . It was really quite the thing and caused no small amount of competition for the Broadway stars . . . When I say stars, I mean real beauties, glorious and glamoring . . . When Paramount and MetrofGoldwyn caught a glimpse of these actresses, observed their fine qualities and their unusual stage presence, that was cause enough for them to raise their Hollywood eyebrows at least three inches in approval. Seventyfnine Paradise: One thing is inevitable . . . There never was a more perfect dance . . . If you don't believe me, just ask any one of those twentyffour fair maidens who were there . . , and if that isn't sufficient proof, I'm sure that that same number of extraordinarily handsome brutes known as their escorts will affirm my statement . . . Low lights , . , a mellow moon . . . a generally dreamy atmosphere . . . the swish of skirts as attractive young girls pass gracefully by , . . their small feet sounding lightly across the floor . . . the faint scents of feminine perfumeries filling the air . . . In contrast to the heavier steps of their equally attractive escorts . . . the masculine attire , , , and the not infrequent whiffs of shaving powder . . , Could it have been better? . . , has it ever been better? . . . OF course not! . . .Selah. On Exhibit. In all fairness to the Art Club, let me reiterate that I purposely neglected to mention their several exhibits until reaching this point in my resume . . . Not because the importance of these exhibits has not haunted me all along, but simply because considering their work as among the best, I felt certain that my praises of their ac' complishments would leave a more lasting impression on your minds if mentioned nearer the end . . . Anyway, l'm not kidding when I say that we owe pflenty ofthanks to the Art Club for their work this year . . . We abso- lutely couldn't have done anything without their artistic touches here, there, and everywhere . . , Thanksgiving decorations . . .Cabaret . . . Valentine's Day , . . Prom , , .George Washingtoifs Birthday Celebration . . . Field Day . . . All would have been ridiculously hopeless without the Art Club . . . Toy around with those for a while and see if I'm not right. .Newspaper Reporter -lots Down a Few Press Notices: Weather fair and warmer . , . light fleecy clouds overhead . , .

And who are the lucky three'--gold, silver, and bronze? . . , Winners three, we salute you! . . . The tumult and the shouting die . . . Shadows lengthen over the hills . . . blow Taps -blow . . . Field Day is over. Ships That Pass in the Night: Oh, the sad sweet memories of it all . , . That candle service, so deeply impressive. so deeply sincere . . . The burning of the shield , . . I shall never forget how the tears rolled slowly down the cheeks of every girl as her shield, her Griffin, her Emblem of all that her class had stood for their love for their school, their loyalty to their class, their sportsmanship, their sense of honor, their courage -7-how her shield burned helplessly to the ground , . . But the burning ofthe shield meant more than that . . . it meant that this was, most probably, the last formal gathering of this class before they stepped up to receive their diplomas, before that moment of Hnal parting . . . Sorrow was in every heart . . . Girls who had scarcely known one another Cast sympathetic glances at their classf mates, glances portraying all the love and deeper emotions stored away in their hearts . . . So this was really the end . . . Many of them thought somewhat wistfully, somewhat sadly of their first years at Birmingham, of the days when they looked up to and bore the respect for some other Senior Class, some other Master Seamen, that the underclassmen now felt for them . . . They never thought their turn would come so soon . , . but it had, it had , , . Time had passed quickly, oh, much too quickly . . . and here they were already at the end of their greatest voyage , . . Their four years at Birmingham were already fading into a series of beautiful dreams . . , No longer were they students , , . they were Alumnae . . . For once, that name seemed bitter to them , . . But then, they felt a certain pride in it . . . a pride because they belonged to Birmingham . . . That was the one thing, that and all their cherished memories, that no one could ever take away from them . . They had followed the Cleam as best they could and now they had come to the end of it all, very bravely, but with a lip that trembled . . . As the last spark from the burning shield fell to the ground, they wished that this glorious Paradise might continue forever and ever . . . But it was too late . . . the Master Seamen of 1932 gradually faded into the darkness, while the Class of 1933 took up their candles and prepared sturdily to light the course over new and unfamiliar seas. i'To you from failing hands we throw The torch, be yours to hold it high, Eighty OIQGA TIDNS Svtuhvnt Glnunril BETTY Lewis . .

The best medical aid in the country had been sum' moned--a famous doctor from Chicago, the best surgeon in Boston, and a specialist from New York. The three famous medicos were gathered in a little room adjoining the sick room. It was in that little room that they had been for days, discussing the case. Then the word was sent forth that an' other doctor should be sent for for conf sultation. Wires immediately hummed, and soon a great specialist in San Francisco agreed to make the arduous trip, half way by airplane and half way by automobile. Arriving in New York, he hurried to the home of the sick man. He had made the journey in three days. It had been hard, but it was in the interest of humanity and science. They rose to greet him enthusif astically.
