AT THE CROSSROADS You to the left and I to the right, h ' or the ways of men must sever — And it well may be for a day and a night, And it well may be forever. But whether we meet or whether we part (For our ways are past our knowing), A ])ledge from the heart to its fellow heart On the ways we all are going! Mere’s luck ! For we know not where we are going. Whether we win or whether we lose With the hands lhat life is dealing. It is not we nor the ways we choose But the fall of the cards that’s sealing. There’s a fate in love and a fate in fight. And the best of us all go under — And whether we’re wrong or whether we’re right, We win, sometimes, to our wonder. Here’s luck ! That we may not yet go under ! With a steady swing and an open brow We have tramped the ways together. But we’re clasping hands at the cross- roads now In the Fiend’s own night for weather ; And whether we bleed or whether we smile In the leagues that lie before us The ways of life are many a mile And the dark of Fate is o’er us. Here’s luck ! And a cheer for the dark before us ! You to the left and I to the right. For the ways of men must sever. And it well may be for a day and a night And it well may be forever ! But whether we live or whether we die (For the end is past our knowing), Here’s two frank hearts and the open sky. Be a fair or ill wind blowing! Here’s luck ! In the teeth of all winds blowing. Richard Hovey.

Editorial have grown, tlie graduating class, from puny insignificant freshmen through the intermediate stages of the sophomore and junior years unto our present lofty position as graduating seniors. From an unorganized mob of children we have gradually evolved into a unified body of sympathizing mem- bers. Particularly during the past year We have formed closely knitted friend- shi])s. q desire to maintain t ' jiese comradeships through the days to come for they are too precious to break off abruptly. These thoughts bring to mind the stereotyped expression “the parting of our ways.” After all in the true sense of the thing, however, are we all to choose different ])aths? To our mind, it is only now at graduation that we com- mence to tread the real road of life. To use a different example this is not the jumping-off but the diving-in place. We have not been treading the main road together and do not now face the prob- lem of choosing which fork of the road ahead to take. Rather is it our concep- tion that through our ha])]jy years of school together we first trod the narrow paths, then the beaten trails, and now reach the i)oint where our recently travelled side road turns into the broad iiighway ,of the world’s progress. T do not take different directions but merely follow the trend of travel l)y va- rious routes of travel. Our destination is the same although our time and means of arrival be unlike. Before us, like the Star of the Wise Men, there gleams the ever receding glow of glorious Success ! As we pass along in our destined place in the race of the living let us peer over the heads of the common])lace confusion of the throng, or out of our ])rivate car, or down from the cock-j)it of our air- craft, as the case may vary with the circumstance and seek to single out and recognize some friend of our memorable days together as the class of 1927.
