Life is a full-blown year, With' all-things in their 'sea- song J Thus, in our schoolcareer, J Each changes hath' rhyme and reason, ' g The seasons come and go, Each With its gifts in hand, That we may-see and know How well all life is planned. Freshman iSpringJ I G -G G Spring isrthe time of all green and :growing things, fresh and verdantf in -their newness to all life. What more lfltting, then, than-that -the Freshman, in this green time of his life, shouldenter school? The March winds and the April showers were very- neces- sary to the budding of the shoots of knowledge' in the Freshman -mind and we ex- perienced ours in abundance. We, so green and sweet in-'our dewy' innocence, received at . this time the f1rst seeds of i knowledge and felt thefirst pull of theplowrand the culti- vator in this spring of our ca- reer. ll bf ' T A T Under the care of such ex- perts as Chief Gardener, Mr., Challis, and his assistants, Misses Kelly, Simpson, Werle, Glynn, Landon, Yillinger, Sherman, Marks, Hewes, Reusswig, Griflithfx and Messrs. Wettel and Macc.-i1man,v-,Our shoots of knowledge were be- ginning to sprout. We found fit difficult . for Algebra to 'thrive in our garden of knowl- edge. Latin required' much cultivating for some. Biology, too, needed gnofend, of eiiperi- menting for perfect culture, while English seemed more or less to have natural growth.

We must sum it all up by saying of ourselves at that time: Once came six and sixty ba- bies Through our magic gates to pass, Scattering If you please and lViaybe's - Weren't they as green as grass? ' Sophomore CSummerD But the March winds and April showers brought forth an abundanceof May flowers, and the Summertime came up- on us almost before we knew, so delightfully did the one season blend into the other. We found they skies so much bluer and sweeter and the sun shone warmer upon us. We had stuck our heads high enough to see nearly as .much above the ground as we imag- ined we' could. We held our heads very erect and kept the stems that supported them quite straight. They were not yet very heavy with their ac- ff-f ' W 12 , -as . , Q ,g1 , ., -- . W ,,..., T.

We were slowly but surely coming out into the light of day. F This year three new experts were put in charge of us: Misses Blaesi, VanKirk and Dorner. Now we cultivated our flow- ers of knowledge. Julius Cae- sar and French and Spanish were added to our garden. It was with us then even as Longfellow writes: O summer day beside the joy- ous seas! - O summer day so wonderful and white, T So full of gladness and so full of pain! ' Forever and ever shalt thou be To some, the gravestone of a 4 dead delight, To some, the landmark of a new domain. Some of us were regretting the dead delight of our ver- dant days, while others looked ahead, longing for the new domain where the Juniors ruled so royally. But our buds had become blossoms, and the color of our dormant charac- teristicshad changed with the unfolding of the larger bloom. Had we been asked to explain it. it might be expressed like this: - ' ff: +i'4'Q?',fC4f- ' Af f' - Lf?-.-' .. A ' gl., H-:cf , if V. V , .V - . .. ..,.,. ,..., - ..--n-.4.......
