VIRGINIA MAY BRITTING Trexidefzr of 331121110115 College tftzmlefzz' q0U61'7Zl7267Zf ulrrormtian September 19, 197.7 to February I3, 1918 For three and one-half years, 192.8 has followed the leadership of Virginia Britting. When she came to Simmons as a freshman, the class with rare good judgment, charmed by her straightforwardness and modesty in popularity, elected her to Student Govern- ment Council. When she left us, she was holding the most responsible ofhce that the College has to offer, President of Student Government, and she assumed the responsibility of this office with a grace and dignity that was unsurpassed. She had the gift of leadership and the class took her advice, undertook unpleasant tasks for her, and accepted its punishment from her, willingly, not only because of a consummate tact in her, but because it placed inlinite faith in her sincerity and kindness. Loyal to everything that could ask loyalty of her, conscientious within the bounds of common sense, Simmons and 1918 are proud to point her out as one of theirs.

Fam fmfenmfif SPEVPEIZMZ6 Nlore than four hundred years ago, Ponce de Leon, commissioned by his govern- ment, Spain, to discover the Fountain of Youth somewhere on the mythical Isle of Bimini, on an Easter Sunday CPascua Floridal, found on the Island he called Florida, not the Fountain of Youth, but perennial flowers by crystal lakes. Were Ponce de Leon to come back to earth today, he would find at our College the Fountain of Perpetual Youth. Our College today is no older than when founded a quarter of a century ago. Each year the same Stream of Youth flows into and through its halls,-a rippling stream of buoyant spirits, of sparkling eyes that look into far lands, where fountains never fail and youth never grows old. On the banks of this stream, grows the tree of life, and the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations. XVe, who sit by, as the gladsome stream flows on, can never grow old. Each autumn the clear stream brings us a deep draft of the elixir of life, from the Fountain of Youth, far up in the enchanted woods, on the mountain side. O ye tidal years that roll over us allfbe kind! Leave, oh leave us bright the burnished gold of joy, and the rainbow colors of our youth! Class of 1918, when you have gone forth into the old, cold world, come ye back often to Young Alma Mater. Sit by the banks of her Stream of Youth. Drink again of her cooling waters, that refresh, that re-create, that awaken memories which thrill backward and start an echo in the living past. Class of Nineteen-Twenty-Eight, Come back, come back! Grow young along with me! The best is yet to be. 1
