,HIS THE CLASS OF '16 takes leave from the walls of our endeared and cherished Alma Mater, we do so with mingled feelings of joy and sad- ness. Joyful are we, because we have now completed our college education and will step out into a larger field and enter upon a definite purpose in life. Joyful are we, that, after so many years of application to our studies, we have now reached the goal for which we set out some six years ago. On the other hand, we are also experiencing a' keen emotion of sad- ness. To think, that after spending six of the best years of our life at St. John's, we are now departing, some of us, perhaps all of us, not again to spend happy hours within the circle that has so tenderly cared for us, can not but make us feel sad. To leave all our friends at this period of life and to leave them, at least many of them, to meet no more, increases the sad- ness that must fill the heart of every graduate as he speaks the farewell words to the institution which for years has been the center of his thoughts and actions. Bnt we depart with the sincerest wishes ever with St. John's, and with the assurance that the spirit which to-day lives, will always. live, and that the endeared memories of our Alma Mater shall ever remain in the soul of each Senior. Endeared Alma Mater, Adieu ! Riga, 2 Q?
