12 T II K PA LESTRA ALMA MATER, SALVE A youth afloat on 'rime's beguiling tide, Life’s journey just begun all dazzling bright, Morality, my need, I sought thy light; As some small stream, unfit alone to glide, Meanders to the river for a guide. And evermore when in a sorry plight To learn the facts that seemed lost in night. Endeavour, was thy sermon; so I tried. Restraints thou hadst to put upon my ways, Sincerely dealt, e’en leaving me more free As careful nursing helps the sapling grow. Lo! there it comes, the aim of many days,— Victorious I go. Farewell! Forme Eternal thoughts of thee shall brightly glow. Joseph McKexma, ’15.

SEATTLE COLLEGE ANNUAL 11 FOREWORD The students of Scuttle College are to be congratulated uf on this, the third appearance of the Palestra.” This publication is an added proof of the good will and loyalty of our students. But, moreover, it is an exposition of the work which is carried on in their English Classes, and indicates a spirit of study and research. I cannot impress too strongly upon the student body the necessity of careful training in English, both in the authors and in the art of composition. The result of this training will constitute one of the criteria by which you and your College will be judged by the world. And because the annual numbers of the Palestra are helping to the desired end of producing educated men, capable of correct invention and exposition, feel that it is no more than just to encourage the Editor, his assistants, and the whole Student Body in their efforts to produce a representative magazine. JOSEPH TOM KIN, S. J.

S K A T T L K C () L L E G K A X X IT A I. 13 ©ur (grafctrateB 4 4 4 Leonard Joseph Reilly BORN in Seattle in 1894, “Len forsook the pine-clad hills of Puget Sound quite early in life. Thus we find him roving through Arizona, Colorado and California until he realized that the Queen City should be his real habitat. After finishing the grammar grades of the public schools in his native city, Len at once enrolled himself in the High School Department of Seattle College. Later he migrated to Campion College, Prairie Du Chien, Wis., only to return and renew his studies in our midst. Throughout his course he has been noted for a certain doggedness of purpose which has come to light especially in Philosophy classes, where he has met objections so cleverly that all the tricks of argumentation can not phase him. As President of the Debating Society Leonard has displayed suavity of manner and a determination that no member should fall asleep during the weighty discussions that have ever characterized the sessions of that organization. He has taken part in the contests for the Elocution Medal, and has been found both on the gridiron and on the diamond, showing that he has ever had the interests of the College at heart. Because of his modest, unassuming ways, we have all grown fond of Len, and wish him every success in his new walk of life. Wherever he may be we are all sure that Leonard will never be forgetful of Alma Mater. 4
