p The SASYAJWQN .1 193+ Capitalists are giving the laborer better wages, and the consumer is getting fairer prices. These changes are coming about because people are beginning to see that others have to be depended upon and have to be considered. Tllrougliout our school days we have taken liberally of the services which have been offered us by our parents and teach- ers. Nothing has been asked in return ex- cept that we make the most oi opportuni- ties which they have given us. Most of us can honestly say that we have tried to do our best in everything we have attempted, that we may in some measure return a portion of that which we have received. We, the Class of 1934, say Farewell with fond memories and tender love for the Alma Mater, whose motto has ever been, I Serve. EVALYN G.

R - J'3ii ,g E FWVT' ,U THE GROWTH OF THE PANAMA CANAL Even before Columbus came to the West Indies, there was a legend among the na- tives that there was a strait through which one could pass directly into the waters of the Pacific Ocean. At that time maps not only showed the land that had been dis- covered, but also the land that was sup- posed to be there. On these maps the strait was always shown. After Colum- bus. came Balboa. the discoverer of the Pacific Ocean. Curiously enough the leg- end still existed and Balboa believed it just as Columbus had, and that was prob- ably the reason why he explored so dili- gently through that region. The first proposer of the Panama Canal was Hernando Cortez, the conqueror ot Mexico. He was sent by his monarch Charles V of Spain to find the strait that was supposed to exist. Failing to find this strait. he proposed to build a strait that would connect the Atlantic Ocean with the Pacific Ocean, but his work was cut short by the treachery of hisfollowers. He encouraged his cousin to carry out his plans for a canal. His cousin drew up plans and intended to present them to the king but he diled before his plans were realized. His' plans called for routes through what is now Darien, Nicaragua, Tehuantepec. and Panama. The Spanish king looked into the project and after con- ferring with his friars, stopped all work on the canal, and quoted from the Bible, What God hath joined together, let no nzan put asunderf' The French attempt was first suggested by Count Ferdinand de Lesseps, the noted builder of the Suez Canal, and a commit- tee met at Paris at which nearly all na- tions were represented. The Committee believed that the approximate cost of the canal would be ii324.000,000. The com- pany went under the title, 'Tampagne Universelle du Canal Interoceanique de Panama. At the first excavation in May, 1832 the company was assembled to wit- ness the formal opening and the Bishop of Panama was to give his blessing. A tre- mendous charge of dynamite was to be ex- ploded, but when the time came for it to go off there was no explosion. Something went wrong. This beginning was typical of the whole French attempt. The work was pushed ahead vigorously by deLessnps, but serious obstacles began to arise, which had been foreseen by the trained engineers who opposed de Lessups plan from the start. It was evident that it was impossible to carry out the original plan, therefore, the company being so seriously hampered re- sorted to irregular and corrupt practices. In time all were exposed. and de llesseps returned to France where he was dis- graced and 1-ndcd his remarkable career PAGE FIFTEISN
