He gazes with pride and emotion upon the fruits ot his labors of days not long past. 'l'he hollyhoeks, tor instanee-this spring they were only dry roots and now how majestic-ally they rise straight and tall above their eompanion blooms, rivalling in beauty with the fairest. llow wonderful is the Lord in llis ereation! 'lloday the gardener is going to eall on the Lord tor another miraele. ln his arm he earries rugged lily bulbs. 'l'hese he serutinizes earetnlly and plants them in tlower pots. A silent prayer rises to the All Iloly that He may do with these homely bulbs as llc has done with the hollyhoelis and other tlowers. Similar sentiments must have filled the minds ot' the Flaeulty when tour years ago they surveyed the elass ot' hopetnl Freshmen. Did they not repeat the aetion ol' the gardener who buries his bulbs in the ground, where they remain in seelusion. ignored and humbled by the beautiful blooms about them? Yes, we poor Freshmen were taken by the Flaeulty and buried deep in the mazes of Latin, Algebra and llistory. 'l'he Sophs laughed at us. the .luniors seorned us, the Seniors ignored us. We were alone to make our way against tremendous odds. and we struggled hard to do so. We passed a trying initiation in whieh our mettle rang true. Months of humble ohsequiousness followed, until. heeoming desirous of soeial reeognition. we entertained at an llaster Egg Party. 'l'he same was at novelty. aml t'or that reason. a sueatess. At least, everyone had a good time. As a elass, we were voted eapable hosts. lluring the Spring of the year that followed, our baseball team heat the Sophs. Soon our lite as Freshies ended, and alter a delightful summer we returned to the sehool as bright. shining Sophs, ambitions and eager. lnainly to initiate the lfreshies. For that purpose we eleeted a eommittee, Weeks ol' strenuous work on their part made the final day a great sueeess. 'l he initiation was followed hy a luneh, the latter perhaps the more pleasing part ot' the program. During this year. we had several debates, besides staging the play Captain 'l'ed,'. With the proeeeds ol' this drama.tieal demonstration , as we were pleased to eall it. we advertised in the annual, besides deeoiating our room with several beautiful pietures. Our hearts remained attaehed to these pietures, but after several unsue- eessful attempts at eonliseation, they still hang in the plaee we put them three years ago-a remembranee oi' the Class ol' '26, Our Sophomore year elosed alter a still' set ot' exams, and we were reminded that our high sehool eareer was hall' over. 'l'hus tar we thought we had done well. and aeeordingly eelebrated that I'aet during the summer that followed with pienies. games and sports. 'l'wo months later we returned to sehool, fewer in innnber, but greater in spirit. We qnelled that spirit somewhat. however. and settled down to the problem ol' be-
