What hand is that which has borne us On through these days of bliss? Where is that life that has been So free? ’Tis gone — we know not where ; And even the ones who have shown us Are gone — no longer here — no longer here. We wonder what lies before us — Would we could see ahead And hear the voice of the famous Rise from the graves of the dead. ’T would plead for us to follow Those trails which they have blazed And center our lives on their teachings And the structures they have raised. Will we answer this call so aged And hark to the voice of the past? Will we take their work as they left it And follow while life shall last? Press forward and onward and upward Till we climb to the mountain crest, And there we shall find attainment, And content in the goal possest. CURTIS DeWITT, ’JO

St. John’s Echoes, 1930 V PRIZE POEM YOUTH SONG Do not mind us if we sing Only of the spring, the spring. Only of the morning blue — You had a day in April, too. We have not long to seek, to find — Youth is so short, and time will bind. We have not long to dream of wings; Oh, let us take each hour that sings Of freedom and the soaring sky! For life will bind, and youth — can die. SUE FLINN JAMES

II St. John's Echoes, 19 30 JAMES PIERCE MOZINGO, JR. James possesses a faculty — or shall we say talent — that of never worrying:. He has grinned all through High School and fully expects to do so through life. We dare say he will — by now it's a habit that's unbreakable. Although he had to look serious for a while as Senior Presi- dent. he soon recovered. We wish James and his grin all the luck in the world !

JOHN WILLIS BROWN Girls really don't mind falling in line at recess now and they fall all over their feet changing classes if they catch sight of John Brown wielding the bell with a wicked twirl. John's Block D’s always look three times as big as the others', and he has quite a few of these. St. John’s will find another bellringer when he leaves, but it will have a hard time finding another John. Monitor '26. '27: football '27. '28. '29; bas- ketball '28, '29: baseball '28.
