; Memnricivi The students of Polytech- nic who have had the priv- ilege of knowing Mrs. Eleanor Smith miss the kind friend who endeared herself to all with whom she came in contact. Deep within our hearts we cher- 1- h the memory of one upon whom we could always de- pend. We remember how her sense of humor, her reassuring smile, and her readiness to share in our joys and to sympathize with us in our sorrows, carried us over those rough stones of difficulties and discour- agements which seemed at times almost to block our pathway. She was unselfishly devoted to youth, and when conflicting doubts and dreams baffled us, she came to our aid and showed us how to understand life better. She thought of her pupils as her friends, and their problems were never too trivial for her earnest attention. She was proud of our achievements and continually spurred us on to greater heights by her en- couraging guidance. We shall always be grateful for the inspiration she has meant to us. As a guiding star in Heaven, So shines the light sublime From her face in memory ' s garden, Undimmed by passing time. Elinor Eddy, S ' 32

Crossing the Bar Sunset and evening star, And one clear call for me! And may there be no moaning of the bar, When I put out to sea, But such a tide as moving seems asleep. Too full for sound and foam, When that which drew from out the boundless deep Turns again home. Twilight and evening bell. And after that the dark! And may there be no sadness of farewell When I embark. For tho ' from out our bourne of Time and Place, The flood may bear me far, I hope to see my Pilot face to face When I have crossed the bar. Tennyson.
