Dear Miss Larcon, I think that I should let you know that I knew John Lake. You were always foremost iin his thoughts and his last request was that I bring you this jewel. Before Lake sealed the note he put a beautiful diamond brooch in it and wrote on the outside in bold hand writing, 6'Miss Larconf' She would find this in the morning, and by that time he would be far away. No one heard him leave as he crept stealthily out into the gray dawn. As he was on the road, there came over his face a sad smile, one of defeat. In a few short hours wedding bells would be ringing and there would be great rejoicing in her home, while he, John Lake, trudged on alone through the many years to come. -CORNELIUS BROWN '28 SCHOOL NOTES SENIOR RECEPTION The annual Senior reception was held in the gymnasium a week or two after school was resumed in September. The Freshmen were bedecked with green ribbons so that other members of the school could distinguish them more easily. In order not to make the evenimng too formal, games were directed by '6Prof Wilson. The Freshmen considered the eats the high spot of the evening. By the time the evening was over, the members of Stamford Seminary were better acquainted.
