THE COLLEGIAN. 9 The Passing of '10 NVe meet in the halls of the college dear, And sorrow fills each heart, As We leave behind us the last long year. 'Tis soon we Seniors must part. lVe thinl: of the years since lirst we met, Of the times we've had together: But sad is the thought of the time now set, The tenth of June, when we sever. XVe're tired of studies, of lectures, of E's,' Tired of being caught in the halls, Yet we're striving and sighing and longing for June, VVhen we shall have no more falls. Qur path has been rugged, and steep, and long, Qnly a few beams light our way: Yet the end of conditions and glory of june NVe shall see on commencement day. XVe carry away much love in our hearts For the Juniors, Fresh and Sophomores For the time has come when we, too, must part May it not be for ever more! To you, underclassmen, we have one wish, That as the time shall pass And you gather again within P. Cfs walls, Forget not our glorious class. M. E. DILLQXRD, iIO. .-.....-U1-.1.. His Treasure Island It was a fun-loving, restless, daring young man who, having time hanging heavy on his hands and more money than he knew what to do with, left his home in south Florida to go to the uttermost parts of the earth, if need be, in search of adven- ture, in search of romance. He visited the society of all Eng-

IO THE COLLEGIAN. land and Europe, but found it too much like that at home: and that was what he didn't like. He spent days traveling over Switzerland viewing the snow-capped wonders of the world, but soon tired of this. He visited the catacombsvof Rome, and heard tales of the valor a'nd bravery of the former rulers of that once great empire: but that was past. He was living in the present, and what cared he if the ancient Romans were heroes and great men, if he could not find something to make him a hero? Something really at hand, not a dream or fairy tale was what he longed for. In all his wanderings he had found no giants to kill and no princesses to rescue from an ogre's castle in some dark mountain. He went deep into the forests of Russia, thinking that perhaps there he might yet find some mighty castle surrounded by the undergrowth of a hun- dred years and break in to find a sleeping beauty whom he might wake with a kiss. llut no, they were all in fairy tales, in books that tell of wonderful countries which have never yet been discovered. He left the forests, disappointed, but determined to go on to the ends of the earth. lele visited lndia and with disgust viewed the coral strands which are told of so much in song and story. lele crossed the salty waters of the Dead Sea and came to Egypt. 'lihe pyramids and great sphinx did not in- spire him as they would any ordinary man. for he was not an ordinary man. lele was a great big handsome fellow, with the truest of blue eyes, and with darkest of curly hair and a com- plexion that was very brown now from six weeks of Africa's sun. His expression was jovial, but restless. He was always looking for something and never Finding it. He was known while traveling as 'lohn Carrington. but to his parents and sister he was simply Jack. lele stayed in flilexandria a little longer than he had stayed at any other place, but he knew that the next ship Ire took would be homeward bound, and as yet he had not found the adven- ture for which he came: so he still lingered there, but his hope of excitement was almost gone. llfhen at last he decided to
