Leaf XXXVIII: Junior Miller. although always deeply in love, became a scientist. His latest discovery is perpetual motion. As the shades of night were approaching, I expressed my gratitude to the old woman, and turned my steps liomeward, meditating over the glorious tidings that had come to me concerning my old companions. As I dropped the leaves, thinking still of my classmates, my greatest wish was that happiness might pursue each member of the class of 1927 and that all might ever re- main loyal and true to our dear old Alma Mater.
