11) E C II O E S 21 TO THE ('LASS OF '21 Looking back over the eleven years we have spent beneath the shadow of St. John’s, we cannot lint contemplate how our opinion of life and its duties lias enlarged, in fact, undergone a complete change. We entered school reluctantly, as awkward, wayward, ignorant children, not knowing what would be required of us, unprepared for the exigencies of the present, and ignorant of the vicissitudes of the future. Slowly and almost imperceptibly, our knowledge of life and its responsibili- ties expanded, and we came to perceive that a generous education was necessary to attain success in any and every walk of life. Having received that education, an education which has endeared us to Old St. John’s, and all connected with it, we are not ashamed to say that we leave school with regret. “The curtain falls and the play is done. The tired actors, one by one, Lay down the gown, the rags, the crown, That made them king, and sage, and clown; And step out from the greenroom door, Each but a man, and nothing more; And they leave the mimic joy and strife, To step outdoors into real life; And under the night's star-flecked dome Adown the darkling roadway—home.” Donald Michik, President.
