I'uge Twelve SIGHS AND SNIFFS At a water carnival meet a young fellow walked to the end of a high diving board. He balanced himself and then sprang into the air, turning and twisting downward for forty feet, grace- fully entering the water with a small and symmetrical splash. A young girl walked to the center of the stage before a large audience. She bowed and sat down at the concert piano. For an hour she kept her audience enthralled by her technique and vivid interpretation. In both these instances there is exhibited the result of long, hard, and extensive training. Each one has prepared himself for something to use later on. We, too, have been preparing ourselves for the future, probably not so rigorously, but just as importantly.

A few mem- bers of the class will indubitably become prominent in various fields of endeavor, but the majority will be molded into the in- tegral but unrecognized links of society. But let us hope that every member of the Class of 1940 will be eliicacious and no one need ever admit, 6cI hid my talents in the sand. J OAN GILSON.
