Now that the Bird of Time has winged its way to the end of this period of our lives, now that this school year is almost gone, perhaps there are regrets on the part of some of us, because we have not fully grasped the perfect ideal; because we have failed to accomplish all that comprises our goal; because we must confess that we have made mistakes.
