COMMENCEMENT S THE end of the year draws near and we seniors prepare to face the future, there remains one last solemn occasion-Commence ment. During this time the class presents its final exercises: Salutatory, Valedictory. Poem, Will, and History. All these indicate the accom- plishments of the class in the past: in addition we set forth a moclr prophecy. But, since we have no Cumaean Sibyl to consult, as had Aeneas, we must wait for future years and our own efforts to unfold the destiny of this gradu- ating class.
