Forest Fires T IS time for us to leave-to leave after two years of working with and for our Alma Mater. Our Alma Mater. who has unselfishly given us all that we. as individuals, have asked of her-who has cleared pathways into a number of fruitful fcfrests in such a way that in case we should go on with her work. we should be spared the anxieties of a beginning. She has given us the sacrament of friendship with fellow-classmates. She has given us problems which challenged our initiative. in- telligence. courage, and perseverance. She has even given us a new life within these last two years. But most precious of all gifts. she has given us memories-a jewel box. in which rests a diamond for the joys. a pearl for the happiness. an onyx for the little anxieties, and an audacious crystal for the fun during the time we spent with her. And what has she asked in payment? That depends on each one of us and what we render in return. God grant that we give in the same proportion that she has conferred bene- fit on us. M. D. M.

To Miss Tall in Dedication A parting of the ways And we face East, alone, to meet the sun. Together you and We have toiled, Plotting our course- Clearing our path through the underbrush. Together we have met with sudden beauty That held us inarticulate in a white instant, removed from time. After labor we have supped, and laughed and sung together By the iire. And now, a parting of the Ways And we alone face eastward to the sun. O may you often come to look out to the great beyond, Where we have gone, To think of us. And may the flowers of memory we leave behind us at the parting of the ways Vkfake into bloom and fragrance at your coming, In tribute. MARY ANN DOUGLAS
