Q - Neg 1 Trluvk zz HJ: 1- I Irs ALL oufp 6raduate's Dream Last evening I was talking With an ex-Commence grad Now aged and gray, Who told me of a dream he had lust the other day. While snoozing in his study, A vision came 'to view I-le saw an angel enter Dressed in garments white and new. Said the spirit, l'm from heaven. The Lord has sent me down To bring you up to glory' - Put on your golden crown. Many teachers you've made angry, From few received good marks While your average grew poor and poorer As you listened to their barks So we need you up in glory For you have labored hard Until your brow is hoary. You have earned o great reward, Then both angel and the Commerce grad Started toward the golden gate. When passing close to Hades, The angel murmured, Wait l-lere's a place I wish to show you. l s the hottest place in l-Iell, Where the teachers who failed students, In awful torment dwell. The graduate saw before him Old torturers by the score. An easy chair and tan he grabbed And asked tor nothing more, I-le sat and sat and watched themm Saw them sizzle, scorch and burn, CAnd his former mentors saw him Whichever way they'd turnl Said the angel, Come up higher And the pearly gates we'll see. The graduate only answered, This is Heaven enough for me, Frank Androvitch 1 THE ' S E 9 N10 R BUCK mg Ve of Goinienfo Ex Libris .,-..... A Craduate's Dream, by Frank Androvilche , .,. .

You hove studied literoture, cirt, music, science, mothemcitic, hjs- tory ond economics in the hope thot such knowledge would moke you more understonding ond in- telligent cis you followed your pcith through life. Now you ore obout to loy oside your cidolescent interests ond leorn to tcike o more motuie point of view. Your guest now must not only be for knowledge, but olso for wisdom. And wisdom comes not so much from the experience of those who hcive lived ond ledrned by living. Therefore, in your seorch for wisdom, never despise odvice. Emerson once sold thot every mon is our superior in one respect of' onotheri l-le meont thot we cdn cilwciys leorn from those we meet. Ee- couse your friend or porent does not hold o diplomo or o college degree, do not think you con cost dside odvice coming from him. ln the coming yeors, leorri to seek odvice, to weigh it with ycur judgment, to test it with experience, ond to use it when it is good. Than you will be on the rood to wisdom. 6 Tl-lE SENIOR YEAR BOOK Our Grade Hdvisexfs Message It is sad to see a man or wornan set out each day to a task ot drudgery to earn his daily bread The time has now come when you must choose the work to which you will probably devote at least six hours of six days ot titty Weeks each year. Your lite work should be the job tor which you have a special aptitude and a real liking, Money MISS MARGARET PICHEL counts but your personal satisfaction in work which you really enjoy counts moreg therefore, you should give your choice ot work the consid- eration it deseryes. May each ot you tind the place which is best suited to you and will bring you the greatest happiness.
