Can we not answer the question by a single word, Honor , the keynote of character? The responsibility of sustaining the honor of a school rests upon the pupils themselves, and severest censure is due the betrayer of such a trust. But before the honor of the school can be upheld, there must be a preparatory step that relates individually to every girl--the honor owed to onels self, the pupil should be governed by certain principles of straight forwardness, truthfulness and an innate sense of refinement Which refuses to stoop to anything which savors in the slightest of the coarse. Attachment to these principles should be such that not even the ties of friendship could cause them to be forsaken. A woman thus honorable in herself must, as a consequence preserve this same attitude in her relations with her classmates. I Important as is the idea of honor to the pupil of High School days, there is even a greater responsibility resting on her after she has left school. It is the men and women who go forth from a school that make it growg it is their record in the world, their example that reflects honor or dishonor on their Alma Mater. Therefore it is a sacred duty of every student to cultivate the highest and best of mind and heart, while at school, and to go forth with a hrm determination never to do anything that could bring dishonor upon that school.

QF' Y OU T H some for ni their For youth is life insistent, life strained for' Conquest bound With eyes upon the hills afar and feet that Span the ground. To youth no word impossible no task beyond Her skill. Success may cheat, or failure mock resistance Tones her will. When earnest years have Bed and time has Broadened heart and thoughts And roseate dreams of youth's bright years Untiringly are sought. Though some air castles have fallen, and others Crumbled to dust, She looks with generous eye and heart, ' For conquer it she must. And who of you would give, your heart joys Or your tears For one all glowing vision of Youth's S Most buoyant years? EUGENIA L1 A-SPRING The blizzards are all satiate Winter's icy blasts have goneg Plans begin to vegetate And the seeming fickle sun Remembers to stay a little late. April showers too have done, And the raindrops have abated Reminding us that spring has come , And all Nature seems elated. - HELEN Smmoun, '27. i ,Q X ,xv .. vw Q lpiiiff ffl, ,,., .. .1 rf.
