I W E 'D I T 0 R -I A L - ' N a short time the members of our class will have been graduated. We have endeavored to accomplish cer- tain things While here at Shortridge in scholarship 1 'X 4 X f and in our extra-curricular activities. There are a number of successfully completed enterprises in which we take pride, as the fruit of our labors in high school, and it is for the portrayal of the activi- ties in which each of us took especial interest that this book is compiled. U With the information obtained from our studies mm and the friendships formed by our associations serv- ' ing as a background, we now aspire to things that are higher in the field of learning, whether they consist of institutions of higher education or in the practices of a lifework. Last December Shortridge High School was moved from its old location to the present one. There was doubt as to Whether the traditions that have been characteristic of this school would carry over. It is difficult, now, after so short a period, to determine whether there Was any ground for such doubt, but, although the circumstances here are very different, the standards that We upheld before, are noticeably unchanged, and with the maintenance of the ideals of the past, we need not fear for the future. - THE EDITOR. ff -. 5 f- . . 1 5 QNX KvQBffL.VQig1!QQfL I X-lik,-kx,,,Q,,g,,.Q

Castles so brilliant and mag- nificent that no matter where I am, they are always visible in the dim distance. Visions so far away and so illusive! Always moving just a little farther, but pulling me onward, when at times the appari- tions become unusually clear. It is at these times that I behold spacious gardens surrounding my castles, within the fragrance of which, sparkling fountains tinkle with laughter. Music, softh and rhythmic, from the ripples of the Danube floats o'er my domains. From my balconies I survey the world and am filled with wonder at the vista of Swiss lakes, ruins of Rome, and the dazzling Taj Mahal, so brilliant in its graceful perfection. Hark!-Singing! They are coming-the students in vivid uniforms, their stirring songs swelling in the lively breezes. Down from the lofty hills covered with vineyards and forests, at the spot where the swift Neckar joins the Rhine. You have guessed it-Heidelberg! Q From one of my terraces the dykes, canals, islands, and bridges of old Rot- terdam unfold before my eyes. Multi-colored houses, oddly shapen, with red and white panelled doors, lean toward one another at grotesque angles There, a sleek vessel with gay sails glides down the canal past a tall windmill, silently on, gracefully fading into the distance. . . I I Waterfalls, cascades, fjords! wild and rugged coasts, bordered by mighty pine forests, suggest the unique grandeur and quaint hospitality or Norway. Here is charm, unexcelled and genuine! All this I see. Even gilded Constantinople, Jerusalem, and Delhi. Yes, there is a superb view from my balconies. I often wonder whether I shall ever reach my castles. Sometimes I hear the most beautiful music full of the sweetest romance, and, as I listen, I seem to be nearing the great portals of my estates. I go forward eagerly under the grand old trees in the soft light of evening, seeking the path which I have heard leads up to one of my castles. But castles, woods, romance and all, seem to reel and topple over as the music stops. When it continues again, I move on, and though I have often been close enough to touch the gates, I have never yet gained entrance to my Castles in Spain.
