Page Fifty-four endeavor that we realize what a glorious epoch school has been in our lives. Our teachers whom we once deemed as tyrants we now admire as the truest of friends. What they have done for us is very evident. Our only way of appreciating their efforts is to carry their teachings through our lives. These halls which innumerable times We have traversed, somehow half reluctantly, now promise so many happy moments if we could Walk them again. But no, the diplomas we shall soon hold in our hands will be like articles for our banish- ment. 'tGo! they will read. And go we must, never to return. It seems a little sad that friends like us must part. We had many happy moments together, at dances and meetings and games and on trips out of town. We had fun in assembly hall at recess, conversing on subjects that happened dur- ing the day. We talked of things gone by yes- terday and looked with happy anticipation to other events to happentomorrow. But soon there will be no tomorrows. The time is not far away when we shall be speaking only of yesterdays. This little kingdom is going to vanish. We shall part but not forget. James Aloysius Nash. 3 K

THE KINGDOM OF SCHOOL School to the youth of America is likened unto a little kingdom. We are no more than babes when we enter under its jurisdiction, and the greater part of our early life is spent in this realm which is virtually a world of its own. During these years we are groomed in the learned things of life, and we are made prepared to go out into the world to meet its everyday problems with tact and skill. So used to school do we become that when we are ready to be graduated, we suddenly realize that instead of its being a perpetual institution, it is only a part of our allotted seventy years of life. Soon this little realm of happiness is going to dissociate itself. This kingdom, yet democracy, under which we have spent so many happy days as citizens, is soon to recede into the past. Twelve years ago as we gazed ahead at the long stretch of schooling that lay before us, it appeared to us an eternity before we should reach its end. Yet now as our school days are nearing their last mile- stone, it seems to us only yesterday that we start- ed the journey. It is only now as we step out of school for the last time to make our own way in the world of Page Fifty-three
