The silent books to student's questioning gaze are closed . . . the silent room where laughter once resounded is no more. For we are gone ... to strive ... to mould the world ... to make of it a haven brighter yet for those who come. We scatter as do sparks before the wind; and settle each to make his presence felt . . . And in a thousand hamlets far beyond our view, life's candle is reborn to burn anew.

'•DO WE STAND IN OUR OWN LIGHT, WHEREVER WE GO . . ” We came to become men; the joy of youth burning brightly in our hearts. Under the guidance of Mr. William T. Bannon, who served so ably as our Junior Class President, we took a giant step in that direction. Our participation in the Halloween Dance and the Christmas Festival, and the solemnity of Moving Up Day taught us conclusively that there is an infinite distance between the wanting and the achieving. More mature, more sure of ourselves and our abilities, w'e began our Senior Year. To lead us, we selected Mr. John Wisseman who, with the able assistance of Miss Claire Schulman and Mr. Walter Clark, our Class advisors, assumed the responsibility of teaching us the duties of leadership, of setting a glowing example for those who assumed our former places as Juniors. College life, we discovered, means different things to different people. To some, it is a long series of lectures and hours in the laboratory. To others, it is a world of basketball games and student publications. And to a select few, it is a gay round of dances and parties. And yet, as we became more aware of true knowledge, we realized that college life is not just one of these, but an exciting mixture of the three; of the meaningful and the frivolous, the permanent and the ephemeral. We stand . . . Left to right: John Wisseman. President; Abbie Sanders, Secretary; Daniel McGee, Treasurer; Grace Edwards, Vice President.
