The perilous year had been safely passed and the children of the class of '21 found themselves ready to journey to the Land of Vacation, to return next fall as Sophomores in the Temple of Learning. In the days when the wheat had ripened in the fields, the children returned to the Temple. The class of '21 organized as Sophomores for another year of joy and prosperity. Their leader was Gilbert Struve. His helper and eounciler was Mary Clarke. The keeper of the Records and ofthe VVealth was Genevieve Phelps. Great sorlow and mourning came to the children XVllt'1l a pestilenee of influenza came over the people ol' the village. The heavy doors ot' the Temple were closed and the solemn march to the homes began. So that these children might not stray from the Paths of Learning, Father lnlow ordered letters of instruction sent to each one of them. Great was the sorrow of the scholars! The class numbered fewer, when they came back in the fall of 'ltl and the roll was called. Seriousness came to the faces ot' the members when the responsibilities of upper elassmen fell upon these children. Again they chose a leader, Harold Holdiuan, wise man of the elan. Again they selected a helper, Jens Terjeson, and ehronicler, Mary t'larke. In order to give, in honor of the revered Seniors their annual gathering for dancing and nierrymaking, the Juniors ordered the theatre doors opened and presented their gifts of eloquence to multitudes of people.

Carefully they decided upon the assistant leader, David Swan- son. Mary Clarke again filled the office of ehronieler. Honor and glory came to the class of '21 when they presented their actors and actresses in an inspiring drama. The hearts of the Seniors were touched with happiness when the class, next to theni in honor, prepared for them a night of revelry. To show their prowess in the Temple, each member of the Senior elass stole silently away and gathered together much food in order to spend a day in the meadows. Great was the surprise of the fathers to find the Senior council room deserted and also the adviser, Miss Rosehe, absent from her throne in the room. And it came to pass that the days to be spent in the Temple were fewer. On the Sabbath day the Seniors reverently filed to the Holy Temple where words of great meaning were heard. l30l

A Q arting Earn Soon I'll have to say goodbye And with that thought I often sighg But I'll reinernber and bear in mind That a real true friend is hard to find. This you have proved yourself to me And this I hope you will ever be. Although we part before many days And our paths will lead us different ways, May you think of ine as I think of youg May our friendship continue real and true. MARY DOUGLASS CHISHOLM I 352 I
