EL SUSURR0 would not go on, others saw more promising mountains to climb in the distance. They caught up with another fearless climber in one lovely valley, and they cried, We are glad to welcome this Alfred Lee to our midst, for we have watched his brave climbing above us. In the first long climb one joined them from a distant moun- tain, who proved a worthy comrade till the end. His cheerful smile soon won him the title of Smiley Best. At the next rest on the hillside the rollicking Billy B. came to cheer them on their way with continual talking and song. When they had nearly reached the top, they met a small boy climbing along by himself. When they asked him his name, he replied with a gesture that was infinitely wise, that it was Carl Greene. Often in the climb they caught at the helping hands of those above them. Often, too, they turned back to encourage a tired group behind them. Three times they saw a small group disap- pear over the brow of the mountain. Three times they called back a welcome to a group of new climbers. Their guides were able and kind, and without their aid these climbers might never have reached the top. But with their guides' unfailing encouragement, chastisements, and inspiring words, at last they reached the summit, seven faithful climbers, comrades over a sweet, rough way. They stand breathless, each looking out over the plains beyond into a glorious sunrise, each ready to set his foot upon his own path with the same valiant spirit as of old. Half turning, they stretch out their hands in a last motion of good-will and farewell to the climbers below them, and they, too, disappear over the top. Edith A. McGowan, '10. was
