LILIUM CONVALLIUM 43 Character Is the Cornerstone of Success Do you see the beautiful building standing on yonder hill? Is it not wonderful to behold? Its structure is flawless, its workmanship perfect. Even after its builder has gone, it will stand there as a lasting memorial to him. In what do its beauty and distinction lie? The materials, the finish, the efficiency of the builder, the experience of expert advisers, the labor put into it-all these are necessary. But there is something upon which everything else rests, a something without which all else would fail. This important something is the cornerstone. How carefully it must be chosen! With what effort it must be perfected, so that nothing essential be omitted and nothing harmful, re- tained. In building our house of success, character is our cornerstone. Industry and courage must aid us to do the right thing, no matter what the costg we must have understanding, we must possess loyalty to friends, to parents, to country, to ideals, and to Godg we must have trustworthiness, truth and honesty, finally we must have strength. All these virtues must be real, not affected. If our character is of this type, it is certain to make a good corner- stone, and the house built upon it, our success, indeed, will be worthy of us. By success we do not mean that we shall hold the world in admiration at our feet, nor do we mean that we shall win treasures and gold. Success is something far more desirable than that, far more wonderful, and at the same time far easier to attain. It is simply the fulfilling of God's desires for us in the best way possible, and at all times. If, when We have read every line in the thick book of life, if after we have turned the last page and gently closed the cover, if then we can say that we have done this, we may be sure that our cornerstone has stood the test of time, and that the life we built around it, will stand as a vivid, lasting monument. -MARY WILLIAMS, '26.

LILIUM CONVALLIUM Lucille McGoorty, a winsome lass, The happiest, jolliest in the class. Her flashing wit and cheerful face, Have won for her a foremost place. She isn't call, she isn't short, She isn't loud, but a quiet sort. Margaret Miller leaves a memory dear, To all her friends, both far and near. Another senior of whom we boast, Our classic artist we do toast. Mary Niehuesser, who can say? In Florence she will be some day. We've named her Questioner And Cross-Examinerg For it's Wl1y? Wliat? or Wl1en? fOf coursey, Bernice Noonan. In our class as orator, NVe do name Dolores Posvar. Some day in the Hall of Fame, We shall see this noble name. XVith an automobile, or with a Ford, Margaret Smith does not accordg But in a fine big limousine, She'll ride as fine as any queen. For answers brief, sure, and correct, Just ask Adeline Vanderbeck. Her genius shines in every task, ' A mine of knowledge in each class Margaret Walsh has always led Those the path of duty tread. A fine record of finished work For four long years she ne'er did shirk Authoress, poetess, editor-in-chief, Are Mary William's achievements in brief Though she has joined us rather late, That girl has speed, we all must state -PHOEBE WRIGHT For jest and fun just right, Proceed to Phoebe Wright. Our class-comic, the spice of life, Takes away all gloom and strife. -MARIE KLUG1:
