Senior Glass 5500111 W. J. DE HOFF Fond parents, watchful in their hallowed care, Had scanned of Learning's far-flung sea, the shore Fain to descry the bark that safe would bear Their charges o'er the deeps of human lore. Asearch where'er the winds of Knowledge waft, Behold! A mighty vessel on the sea, Majestic, towering o'er the lesser craft, Yet floating light, as though from body free. Her curving prow that high toward Heav'n led, Of high ideals a promise seemed to beg The Sign of God across her sail was spread, And proudly flashed the symbol-S. H. C. Her high command, black-robed in modest mode, Mann'd wheel and ropes and sail with easy art: The whole, in truth, a wondrous picture glowed, That melted mind, and stole away the heart. Exultant sprang we to her stately deck, Our hearts o'ercharged with all-abounding trust, That good ship Spring Hill, clear of shoal and wreck Would make the harbor of the wise and just. To courses, charted through all Wisdom's ways, By founder saints of old with vision far, Held true our captains in the newer days- One line of beacon light from star to star. Loyal welve held to all our courses true, And won together to our destined aim, Our trial cruises o'er, we turn anew, To voyage farther for a wider fame. We leave, but e'en though we fain must part, For longer cruises to our Final Goal, Our captains all we carry in our heart, And love of Spring Hill anchored in our soul. L'Envoi Farewell, dear captains, and farewell, dear ship! Farewell, our crew, our every loyal mate! Farewell to all in Friendship's faithful grip, And God with each to fashion fair his fate!

f JASPER A. R. YOUD WARRINGTON, FLORIDA A soul as full of worth as void- of pride. Sodality '23-'24-'25. C. S. M. C., Mendel Club '25, Portier Literary Society '23-'24- '25g Football '25, Omicron Sigma. Whenever there was a shower of melody, there sure was to be found Jasper Youd. 'tJazzy, when questioned, proudly admits that he is from Warrington, Fla., and was born there October 5, 1902. He is a graduate of Spring Hill High, and en- tered the College in 1921. Jap has certainly worked steadily on the football field for Spring Hill's glory. Scrubbing his first three years. prepared him to Win his letter in this, his senior year. Throughout the years of his apprenticeship he gave invaluable aid to those teams that have gone before and may be gladly heralded as typical of Spring Hill's football train- ing. We don't know what Jap has decided to take up for a life career, but we feel sure that he will ever reflect a glory that Spring Hill will have a just share in. JOSEPH ALFRED YEEND MOBILE, ALABAMA He was a scholar, and an apt and good one. Orchestra '21-'22-'23-'24-'25g Golf Club '23-'24g Sodality '24-'25, Mission Crusade '24-'25g Omicron Sigma, K. of C. Club. September, 1921, marked the entrance to Spring Hill of one of the best scholars the college has ever known. Born May 31, 1902, Fritz seemed to be a scholar from the cradle, carrying with him his love of literature to manhood. Not only was Fritz looked upon as a good student by his classmates, but even as an authority on many subjects, English especially. When difficulties came up, the call went out for Yeend, and every time Fritz proved himself master of the trouble at hand. Sometimes during the free periods of the day, we would pass the music room and hear the soft notes of a piano come from within. In this art Fritz excelled, and many times ably replaced Professor Staub in time of need. Fritz was a jolly companion, and his pleasant words of wit and knowledge will be greatly missed in after-dinner sessions along the boulevard. Good luck to you, Fritz, and always keep a place in your heart for your alma mater and your schoolmates.
