Editorial HE little gray squirrel whisked his fluffy tail up the big old oak on the campus and was lost among the leaves, which were first becoming glorified with tales of yel- low and crimson, as Autumn wrote her magic story. His eyes glistened, and the nut fell from his fore paws in his excite- ment. The girls — eleven of them — he told his eager mate — are working in that window framed with ivy — and do you know — he almost fell ofl the liml:) — they are making ()ak Le.wes. The bunch of oak leaves we are making grows slowly in our hands, for the tricks are new and strange. Hut each leaf is ilipped in a thought, and touched by the mystery of loyalty and love until it means to us a thing most vital. And, fellow stuilents, in the stories and the rhymes, in suggestions and in jokes, we have aimed to stir within j ' ou — within us all — a deeper loyalty to our Alma Mater, which in the years to come, shall thrill us as we turn these pages.

Alma Mater We salute thee, Alma Mater, we salute thee with a song, At thy feet our loyal hearts their tribute laj ; We had waited for thy coming, in the darkness waited long, Ere the morning star proclaimed thy natal day. Thou hast come thro ' tribulation and thy robe is clean and white, Thou art fairer than the summer in its bloom. Thou art born unto a kingdom and thy crown is all of light; Thou shalt smile away the shadow and the gloom. In thy paths the fields shall blossom and the desert shall rejoice, In the wilderness a living fountain spring; For the blind shall see thy beauty and the deaf shall hear thy voice, And the silent tongues their high hosannas sing. Where the rhododendron blushes on the burly mountain ' s breast. In the midland, where the wild deer love to roam; Where the water lily slumbers, while the c j:)ress guards its rest — Lo, the sunny land of promise and thy home. Where the sons of Carolina taught a nation to be free, And her daughters taught their brothers to be brave; O ' er a land of peaceful plenty, from the highlands to the sea, May thy banner. Alma Mater, ever wave. R. T. V. NN. Vagc 14
