Twenty ' THE XA VERIAN NEWS Our dreams are about to become a reality. A few yehi'smago. we began . our journey up the steep and devious ways of the mountain of legal lore and precedent with heartquakes and trepidation. At times our difliculties and troubles hovereclabove us like dark , and foreboding clouds ob- scuring our vision. There haile been many pitfalls, and some of us have been lost on the way. . Our Junior year has passed; we have worked and - fought Kanicl played and libeen, very withal. ' But now we near the last stage of our journey, success is within our grasp, and we must turn our faces forward and accept the re- sponsibilities encumbent up- on those who are second only to; the grateful recipi- ents of the coveted LLB. Remembering that we shall not pass this way again. let us gain for purselves' and give to others the greatest and best that this course affords. And when our Alma Mater sends us forth, well ' Two' Years ago we, as humble Freshmen, looked forward. to 'thellong years ahead of us and vaguely wondered what that future held. Few, if any, even surmised the pleasures and education that were in storefoi' us. As a wholef our first. year was .one that can never be surpassed in any respect. While the seeming of knowledge was the pri- mary motive in our regular and diligent attendance, it cannot be denied that the friendships and congenial e assoc1ati'on of the students ' and theCollege as a whole, had much to do with the lasting large number of stu- dents at the end of the first year. Two years of our jour- ney have elapsed, and we are ready v to start on the last and most interesting half of our course. What our tasks for next year will merry- JUNIOR CLASS, COLLEGE OF LAW fortified by her judicious training. we shall do honor' to her and justly merit the appellation'ea noble son of St. Xavier. JUNIOR ACCOUNTS, SCHOOL OF COMMERCE AND SOCIOLOGY be, we will leave undisturbed until then. and unless cle- terred by causes over which we have no control. let us all meet again on the opening night of our next and third term. Our best wishes are for the happiness and success of the professors. who. with their best efforts, succeeded in impart. ing to us that Which we so deeplydesired.

Twenty-lwo THE XAVERIAN NEWS Our untrained but lusty voices swelled the volume Of hlirrahsl at the I'get- together meeting t h i 5 year. It was our first col- lege festivity, and with pride We shouted it. Now. to our trained minds and hearts, the un- pretentious o c c a s in n to which we have looked back often; means something far abbve the trivial. The oc- casion of pur first introduc- tion to higher English edu- cation will always remain a red letter day to i the members of the English classes. Looking forWard with a little awe to the'heights of correct usage, we real- ize that if tomorrow is to be a day of hope. today must be a day of thought. Of course, thought of the present and for the future is what is expected of us. but we need and like to preface it with a little . thought of the pest. Our work has been more seri- ous than ever, and our play more light-hearted. because we have carefully learned that balance which will be essential to our equilibrium of speech after we leave our Alma Mater.
