Hasta Manana We the class of 1927 are seeing our last few weeks of school in our good old Alma Mater. It seems but a few days since the summer of 1923. Do you recall how frightened you were? How long the coming four year? seemed to be? I do; all too clearly. The years have passed. I sit here, and am sad because I connot live them all over again. When I think of having to leave all the friends all the pals, all the things this quartette of years has brought to me, a tear comes to my eye, and 1 elose my eyes, as if by to doing 1 eould make a little leap and be a freshman once again.
