On quiet spring days we wandered through the meadows to 1 pick butter-cups, and pull the petals off to see if someone j loved us. Or we would blow the icur o ' c ' -oj .s to see wh-st ti:ne | i of the day it was. The ominous cicalc of the crow was al.r.ost a sure sign of rain. Faith was a beloved ccnpanion in the evening when the fireflies .began to drift above the dewy grasses; when the western glow faded out of the sky; when dim shapes took form down by the pasture lot; when we stole quietly out on the porch and climbed upon the lap of some one, leaning hard against her and listening as she told us the story of Cindrellaj 1 or the Ugly Duckling or would sing nursery rhyne songs u-.-itil j we grew drowsy. We then went up sbairs. said our little prayers at her knee, and climbed into bed. She tucked us in for the night and stole quietly away after the good-night kies It was faith that ko:;t U3 ssfe from the dark and towering shadows a.fter the l ight vers out and mc-cher had left. We had j faith that we wero- safe and that the sun in a.ll its glittering I glory for the new day would sc;on be bt.ck.- I On the morrow it vvas faith that le.id end guidrd cur un- certain steps to the little wayside cchool houre. The school I teacher gave us knowledge of the heroes and adventurers that I i set our luinds s.fire. She tausht us hew a nation righteously ! I e:ialts itrielf. She interpretea the C.ee ' o meaning of the stcrs t I and stripes of our flag and inr tilled in cur hearts a deeper I ! feeling of r)atriotihm., ojid a more unselfish love for home and i ! courtrv.

Let I this be in quotations because it is partly Lincolnized to fit ' the sad occasion of the final farewell of the Senior Class. By | this, you are to understand, of course, that those worthy mem- { I 1 bers are not going to their final resting place, (vvhere all is i ( peace and quiet, in spite of the Fords v hich continuallv thror-i i into the heavenly portals, carrying cargoee of departing spirits) but out into the great wide world.
