30D Twilight on Collegefhlill -19' The tranquil lake refieets the star-strewn skyg Like a deep jewel it wears the great, red moon Upon its breast-long, low, black cars roar by- Somehow, the twilight never comes too soon On these atumnual evenings, when to trees The wind is crooning wistful serenadesg When the long walks are flecked with light and shades All of earth's beauty seems bound up in these. Most lovely pictures that the hand of night Has drawn upon each shadowy field and stream. When trees stand out against the fading light It is the hour to vision, and to dream Nor of our home, our loveg the tinseled town For us the hill, the twilight drifting down. -Thomas Randall Berkshire, '27 Moonrise Over-the Muskingum Hills ui' Somehow, the moonlight never seemed so fair As when it came across the last, dim hill, Weaving faint shadows in a slim tree's hair, Clothing the town with splendor. Oh! the thrill Of watching for the first pale, silver spears! Of waiting, hand in ha11d, while the rich night Grows calmer a11d more tender as the light Grows purer, till at last the moon appears. There is a feel of power in the dawn When its magician crowns the hills with gold. Titanic strength in storm clouds, lightning-riven. But only we know beauty who have gone To some high place and watched the moon unfold: The perfect flower in the deep fields of heaven. -Thomas Randall Berkshire, '27

C323 CLASS OFFICERS President ....... -..--Robert Blair Hastings Vice-President .... ..... G wendolyn Rusk Secretary ....... .... H elen Lois Kyle Treasurer .... ................... R uth Johnston In 1921 an unusually large class of freshmen entered Musk- ingum, some of them were noisy, some were quiet, some knew their places, others did not-in other words they were typical freshmen. They took up school work with enthusiasm, they won their first Scrap Day, but as sophomores they lost the second to the class of '26, They have given their best to Muskingum, they have contributed two college orators, splendid athletes, Christian leaders, social leaders, debaters, and good students. They owe Muskingum a great deal and Muskingum is grateful for what they have done. They have come and, with this year, are to go, may life prove to them satisfying.
