Dlro 1 .ll ,A' IKE those hardy mariners of old, faithful followers of the crafty Ulysses, we have been tempest-tossed and danger-ridden on every hand, but unlike them, we at length sight the shores of home. They voyaged longer than we, but the perils We have faced, though less tangible, have been more terrible than theirs. Ulysses alone, of those sturdy lthacans of other days, reached harbor, never, per- haps, to sail away again, but who knows but that our future journeys over shore and sea will be more hazardous than that which is ended now? Who can say what new Scyllas wait to devour us, what Siren voices, unrecognized as such, may lure us from our course, what monsters lurk to destroy us where we seek shelter? Our course henceforth is indeed an uncharted way, we drop our pilots here, and go forward alone to hardships and dangers unguessed, led only by the fickle winds of chance. In one way we suspect ourselves to be unlike Ulysses' band. Some of us may linger behind, rejoicing in the pleasant land, and in peace won at length after struggleg but for others the walls and topless towers of Troy lie still ahead, and our Helens yet unwon, our arms untried, our crests unlowered but unchallenged. VVe all know that some of us are destined never to reach the windy plains of our ambition and never to pitch our tents by the banks of Xanthusg those who will fall at the hands of jealous gods may be any of us. VVe look back to find our trials and our perils joyous memories: Hforsan et haec olim meminisse juvabitf, Some day what lies now in the future will lie also wrapped in the rosy mist of the past. It is good to regret the loss of the past, and after all- What chariots, what horses Against us shall bide, While the Stars in their courses Do fight on our side ?

In passing, the class of 1929 would have its last word one of grateful and affectionate farewell to one who is leaving the High School after years of service-one of those -that put aside Today-- All the joys of their Today- And with toil of their Today Bought for us Tomorrow!
