FOREWORD 'Tit «ducalion forms th« common mind, lust as th« twig Is bant. The tree's inclined.'' —Pope Our four years in high school consti- tute the most formative years of our life. It is then that many important decisions are made, then that we de- cide whether we shall strive for success or consider ourselves beaten without trying. Youth may be compared to a twig which needs to be guided and trained to become a strong, sturdy tree; we also need the guidance and training of high school to prepare us for life. It is fitting, therefore, that the 1935 “Crimson J” use as its theme the tree, whose types figuratively portray stu- dent life.

LACE By Eleanor Hammond Lace of elm-tree shadow In a summer noon And lace of white-birch branches In the light of moon. Lace of maple coppice In golden sunset light, And lace of dark pine branches Against a starry night. But a lace that’s finer— Finest lace that grows— Is lace of winter branches Cast on spotless snows.
