N. I. S. N. S. winter storm-Winds hardest blow Where summer sunsets brightest Glow, Where the little children go. Thou standest, City on the Hill, X Tall grey towers, ealm and still. Earnestly those towers rise, Meaningly reach toward the skies, With them the hope of many lies. C And high and Calm they rise in air, And grave and quiet guard they there. Dear Mother school, do thou impart With what thou givest of power and art, Thyself unto each student heart. Something of thy calm, high beauty Grant us ere we part from thee, Something of thy queenly stillness, Something of thy dignity. NIILDRED CAMPBELL 77

ZHJ1' iiortbrr Paw tion. For while the intellects of the common throng dozed over biology, psychol- ogy and other matters of light import, the authors of this stupendous work still labored untiringly, burning the forbidden oil in their noble zeal to uplift their profession and add renown to their school. The task was one demanding erudite research in all departments of human knowledge. At times the library has been almost destitute of books, so vast was the number of authors consulted. It has involved penetration into the profoundest realms of Aristotelian thought in order to comprehend and present adequate explanation of some of the Faculty's jokes. The masterly style of these pages has been acquired only after protracted sieges of rhetoric and grammar. And though hampered by the limitations of the English language, the mother-tongue has still been dragged into rhythmic form and adjusted by the sweat of our brows in the making over of old themes. Long and wearisome pilgrimages have been made to the center of culture for the study of the drama and all forms of literary merit in order to better please the aesthetic public. Six-nines have been accepted cheerfully as the reward of neglected lessons. In fact, careful experimentation has shown that the energy expended on a single page of this volume has been sufficient to reduce the Nissl bodies from twenty to fifty per cent of their normal size. All this and much more the authors have accomplished with unwavering enthusiasm. No reward for our labors has been anticipated, the writers despising the base pecuniary compensation which, to the pedagogue, is so trifling a matter, and being assured from the intelligence of their readers that the date is not far hence when their monuments shall crown the terraces of our Alma Mater. And so, gentle reader, when the genius of other great minds palls on thee, lay down thy ponderous Angell or Monroe, and peruse for an hour or two these refreshing pages. And when thou learnest their content, perchance thou wilt shed a tear over the untimely Hunks in history of education, the unreasonable- ness of the geometry class and many similar disasters which may be traced to the marvelous concentration upon this task. But should thy superior knowledge find aught amiss in its content, do thou treasure it secretly in thy heart, lest the super- ficial throng deem thee overcritical. But if thou utter any complaint concerning it, be sure that it be to the succeeding class of Seniors and Annual makers, by whom all suggestions will be gratefully received.
