24 THE PORCUPINE eral impression, though some of its incidents, projections, as it were, shall be rubbed off and the whole made smooth, that we may no longer see the petty scars that may have marred it, but remember what was good without the bad. Our instruction has been faithful and of the best, and if our own efforts have matched this standard we might in truth be glad. Yet it is our hope that in our lives those who ) h ave labored for and with us may see their reward and know their work was not in vain. We thank them, our faculty, y) one and all. Oem, pap.

Yet we begin to comprehend and ever more clearly what in one light it shall mean to us; in the light of what the past has been. We, one and all, realize that it means the final sever- ing of all the ties which have for four years bound us to our school and work. To say that these years have been all pleasure were a falsehood, yet pleasure there has been in abundance, and it is with regret that we quit it. Yet our work has been the all in all and center of our school life. About it and in it have grown up the ties of friendship and all the numerous associations which we shall ever connect with it. Some of its friendships shall be permanent. Others shall be forgotten and merged into a general recollection of that period of our life. It shall be as whole that we look back upon these years. As a period, perhaps for the most of us, the happiest of our lives. Time shall not dim the gen- Witch Hazel Cream An elegant preparation for chapped hands face or lips.
