After mum-h discussion as to whether the volume of The Senior of 1925 would ,be published, we are proud to say their we can show this hook. On account of the fact that thu nnnunl of 1924 was an financial failure, we, the Seniors, were forced to sell this book at practically twive the amount received for The Senior of last year. The annual staff, together with the co-operation of other students, have worked hard to put out this volume of The Senior. and tried our very best to make it il suc- 1-oss. Therefore we hope that this book will please everyone und show to them just how hnrd we have worked.

The giiliionight Gbatli trees eurtsied to the flippant green maples in the breeze. The very flowers seemed I This story is based on the one-act play written by Esther Maurer! gm HE third of August had dawned bright and ID 3 clear-a glorious summer day! The gol- .S-EE den sunlight streamed down over the em- erald Vermont hills. The gracious elm to laugh and dance, flaunting their gay colors in Mother Natui-e's face. The birds sung and chirruped incessantly. Grace Coolidge. black hair neatly combed, dressed in a cool green frock, stood gazing out the window. Her glance passed over the sheen of the hills, softened a little as it caught sight of the dim burial ground under the dis- tant pines, and then brightened as she saw the nodding flowers. What a beautiful long. summer day! If only they could stay here. As if voicing her thoughts Calvin Coolidge glanced up from the newspaper he was reading and spoke: I wish we could stay here all summer. Grace. But I feel that I MUST :zo where my work lies. ' Grace sigflied as she thought of Washington. Tlien she suid. lJon't you suppose I could stay in Northampton? I would be much happier there. Ualvin nodded understandingly. But, said he. your duty- ' Yes I know l should he with you-and yet we both ought to he with the boys. Both seemed to be thinking the problem over. What should they do? Then young Calvin dashed into the room and thrust a paper into his father's hand. Oh, hurry. dad. hurry! A man on horseback came- it's from the president! Uh hurry, D0 hurry I In his excitement he raised his voir-e and John, hear- ing il. rushed into the room. Whats happened ? Mr. Coolidge quietly opened the message and read it. When he had finished he looked solemnly at his wife. Itis from Secretary Christian. I am requested to go to Washington. Cheerfully he added. But we'll make the best of it. John looked at his mother and father. How worried they seemed. What could he and Cal do? Suddenly it came to him. They could finish their vacation here, go to Northampton to school and get along without their father and mother. Immediately he voiced his plan and he was rewarded by seeing the worried ldoks leave. At last his father spoke: I believe that I had better leave as early as possible in the morning. Mrs. Coolidge rose, saying she would go and pack his bag. There was silence in the room for a few minutes. The clock ticked on its way to the hour. Mr. Coolidge's paper rustled as he turned it. Just as he finished reading it, his father. tall and sturdy. entered the room. Any news. Cal? , Cal put his paper on the table. Then he told his fath- er of the note, and his leaving in the morning. ' A look of consternation passed over the old Colonel's face. But what should he do for help. There was the hay and many other things. Calvin Jr. hopped up and spoke excitedly: Hurrah! We can stay here. John! Grandfather needn't worry about rain., We'll put the hay in. Grace Coolidge entered the room just in time to hear .lohn agree. By this time dusk had fallen. She glanced at the clock. How quickly time flies. We must go to hed at once. as we have to rise so early in the morning. At last the room was quiet. The clock ticked on. Ten o'c-look. Eleven o'cloCk. The moon shone into the room. Half-past eleven. One, two. three, four, five. six. seven, eight, nine. ten. eleven. twelve.
