The spirit of loyalty has been high at Alumni Reunions, but pos- sibly never higher than last New Year's Eve when several alumni stood helpless watching the savage fire attack her.

42 THE TRUMPET where many happy schooldays had been spent, crumbled. Our Alma Mater was no more. What would we not have sacrihced at that moment to have had her restored! Late that very evening, it was announced that her spirit was still alive. Day by day, it grew stronger and the good peo- ple who cherished it have won our admiration. Their loyalty has been tested and their faith in noble principles has been con- 'drmed by their decision to rebuild the Academy on the same beautiful site in the heart of Wisconsin. They have had a vision of a bigger school and expect to realize their vision. It is natural that they should expect the Alumni to rally to their support. Fellow Alumni: What ought we do, and what can We do? Who will propose a plan at our next reunion? We have received most, we should love most. For value received, let us promise to pay.
