St. John's Echoes, J!) : o .V CHARMS OF FAIRYLAND |HN THE Rood old days, when a little sprite might be seen in any blooming bush 1 or hidden in quiet, cozy nooks, it was the custom for some fairy, at the birth of every small babe, to come from her happy world to shower upon the child good wishes. However, we all know that the fairies are very sensitive creatures and will not come to those who do not believe in them. This age of mate- rialism and unbelief has driven them into unknown hiding places where the modern sceptic cannot see or find them. But they have been watching these boys and girls of the class of ’30 for a long time, and have noticed their faith in everything beautiful. Therefore, the Queen of Fairyland has sent me to bestow luck and happiness upon each young person here. Edith and Margaret, you have been the song birds of our class; may your life be one joyous song, and may you fill the lives of others with music as you have filled our high-school days with melody. To you, John, Bunny, and Phoenix, I bring one plan on gridiron and diamond, the gift of playing life’s game with courage and confidence. James, Crayton, and J. P., the irrepressible funmakers, may life always appear as joyous to you as it does now, and may you bring sunshine and smiles to the faces of those about you. May the coming years rest as lightly on your shoulders as these high-school years have. Bill and Richard, and may you joy-ride merrily down the path of life. Just when did you kiss the Blarney Stone, and I not know of it, Ruth Russ, Minnie, and Mollie? That lovely gift of always being sweet and winning shall pave for you and for those near you a way of happiness. Here’s to Jack and James Lyles, to whom Nature has been so generous in the matter of brains! May you choose the tasks to do which weaklings shun, and may you make the world better by so doing. As surely as dawn follows dark, the two Mildreds will scatter sunshine down the years of life to come. To Ernest, Julian, and William, we present the gift of finding the silver lining to every cloud. May your infectious giggles keep your skies always blue and sunny. May every hour of your lives, Ruth and Frances, be rich with love, and every moment jeweled with a joy. Helen, the spendthrift of your time and happiness for others, may you keep on believing that only those who spend may keep. Here’s to Curtis and Ivan! May your thrifty ways cause Dame Fortune to smile upon you always. Dear Taddy, you whom we love so much for what you are going to be as well as for what you are, we give the gift of always having great desires, and the deter- mination to attain those desires.

St. John’s Echoes, 1930 ■V 2 The power to lend help and encouragement to those who despair is my gift to you, Nannie, Emma Law, and Mary Louise. Your motto, Red Davis, as you play life’s game so manfully, shall be, “Play up, play up, and play the game.” To Dick and Ned, I give the will to believe and to do. Few things are impossible to industry and skill. May life be kind to you always! And now, our two “Pearls,” you will be a constant source of joy and pleasure to those around you, priceless even as your birth-name. To you. the Gang (Margaret, Culu, Dot, and Inez), you will always count it a glorious privilege to live, to love, to know, to act. May you be loyal friends and genial companions, remembering that the only real failure is not to be true to the best one knows. Miss Brunson, there came a whisper to my ear, from this class of 1930: “Tell her we love her still, will always love her, till all the seas go dry. Till all the seas go dry, and the rocks melt with the sun.” Like driftwood spars which meet and pass Upon the boundless ocean plain, So on the sea of life, alas! Friend nears friend, meets, and leaves again. HARRIET VAUGHAN, ’30
