The old school stands bathed in sunlight. There is about it a dignity, an old-world charm that clings. The ivy vines creep tenderly about the red brick, protective. These are the things one remembers when book-lore is forgotten. The owls in the cornices blink wisely . . . They know what we can only guess.

MSTBI1™1 a cw wccl s our hiKl’ school education will be ended. Some of us will go on to tXV y a college for further schooling, others will enter the worlds of industry and business. To the jx»tential college student, we have a few words to say. If you intend to go to college because you think you can ‘make the varsity team', or because ‘Johnny’s going', you had better stay away. The college student who is not college timber is only wasting time and money. But those students who arc going to college for an education,—remember, education is not merely a fact-finding business; it is the business of training one's mind for the purpose of enjoying life more thoroughly. Preparation for a happy life,—that should be the motive behind every education. That large group of students who arc about to enter the business world.—with you we wish to plead, plead that you further your education. This does not necessitate going to college. There arc numerous day and evening schools lie re in our own city where one may receive education in languages, literature, drawing, engineering, building trades, accounting, clerking, salesmanship; in fact, practically every phase of art. science, industry, and commerce. At these schools one may receive instruction in one's chosen vocation, or one may learn to better appreciate the beauties of life. In addition to these institutions, one may use our Public Library, which maintains large collections of books on every conceivable subject. These books will always be open to you in your search for knowledge and in your preparation for a happy life. In this era of plans and systems, it would be especially appropriate to work systematically in your extension of knowledge, and in this connection it might be well to keep in mind the words of Mary Lyon, the American educator, Do something, have a plan, live for some purpose. Those of us who follow such a program are sure to get out of life that satisfaction that we seek. 4CrN(HIED8MINI of the faculty who have rendered us their assistance, and to those members of the under- graduate student body whose efforts have helped make possible the success of this magazine.
