Message to the Glass from their ?resident, Hedwig Grepkus EAR Schoolmates, we are about to leave the school which through four years has strengthened our characters and prepared us to fight lifels battle. We, like the young trees, are growing and building up so that we may withstand the strong winds and storms of life. Let us never V stop, but continue building up our characters so that after each storm we shall be as sturdy as ever. Let us be frank with ourselves and uproot the parasites which prevent our growth. Let us grow up to be fine, honorable women so that when duty calls we shall not Shirl; but answer its call willingly. We shall soon part. Some of us will continue with our education and others will start out into the business world. But whatever we are about to undertake, let us give it our best. No matter how insignificant the part that we play in this world may seem to us, let us play it well. It will be a great consolation to each of us to be .able to say, when our day of departure arrives, llThis world has gained something for my having been here?

Class of June, 1926 A Hymn to Life Heavi'ng anal turbulent rages the furious sea, Rising in angry communion with the wind, Dashing its stormrmad depths upon the land; Receding again, to leave deep in the sand A buried treasure, exquisite in beautye The lyre of Panevoice 0f the ocearfs melody- A shell! Low from the shell comes a silvery murmur of sound, Swelling to echo the song of the stormy sea, Throbbing the angry raging of the deep, The wail of the wind, the rush of the towe'ntls leap, The peaceful calm 0f whitecap corestecl have A living song, breath of the oeeanls lay- It lives! The sea is the sea of life, the shell Is the lyre 0f the human soul That life casts up on the sands of time As the years of eternity Toll. And the life may rage igainst the storms of fate, Or hope fat the calm that comes With the break of mom, when the winds are still .And the green waves cease to foam. But happy or sad, in storm or repose, When the life has ceased to be, And the breath of life has flown away Like the winds from th, eternal sea; The soul that Tests on the sands of time . Will echo the song of lifee The soft, low crooning of childhood days, Songs of happiness and strife, And th, exultant hymn of victory When, thestorms of life all past, The sea vecedes, and the life is gone, And the soul is free at last. F07 the soul will live through eternity, While lifels but a transient dream, Whose song the soul will echoe A living, melodious hymn!
