As for us, long after the conceits of extreme youth have left us may we retain the good that we aave gained from fellowship with our teachers and classmen. Julia Hulse, ’21. Ruth Brown, ’21.

The stream I love unbounded goes, Thro life, thro light, it forward flows, It greets the ocean, great and wide, Breaks and becomes in part the tide. —Tom Russel, ’24.
