---THE SENTINEL-1-- Solitude The sun is slowly sinking in the westg And as I make my solitary way To my retreat, far from the haunts of men, I gaze upon the shapes of objects that The lingiring light casts forth in bold relief: The populars softly rustling in the breeze, The fallen leaves of silver, red, and brown, Below, the lake transform'd to shimnfring gold By slanting rays from the departing sun, And last, my place of rest upon a slope, Above a vast, wide sweep of rugged wilds Surrounded by the beauties of the woods. The world goes on unknown. I am content To lie and think and dream, alone with God. -Roland Nelson. --55-

+-THE Sl-INTINELl-L Declamatory and Oratorical Contests The enthusiam which the girls and boys felt for this work was shown by the large number who entered the Declamatory and Oratorical Contests.

Gladys also took part in the District Contest held at River Falls. M. B. '32, Mother and Daughter Banquet The mother and daughter banquet was held in the gymnasium on the evening of April I4. The gym was very cleverly transformed into a banquet hall by gay streamers. Unusually novel favors decked the tables. Tiny nut cups, beside which were placed hat stands holding dainty miniature hats of riotous colors, lent a festive atmosphere to the neat and inviting banquet tables. After a delightful repast, which created extreme satisfaction in all quarters, an interesting pro- gram ensued. The Girl Reserve and Girls' Glee Club sang appropriate numbers. Miss Patricia Greenlee gave a delightful musical recitation on hats, a subject often discussed among the more ef- feminate members of society. Mrs. Riegel, very capably acting as toastmistress, introduced the speak- er of the evening, Mrs. Wentink from St. Paul, who charmingly pictured the life of the modern girl. Both mothers and daughters left at the close of the program with a more perfect understanding of each other, and a sense of having gained something invaluable that night. H. W. '34.
