Things We Remember In these last few days that we will all be together we are apt to find our- selves dreaming, h.oking foiward per- haps, but surely looking back, at what ? That is the strange part, the things we remember, the things we cannot forget, because they have become i)ictures on memory ' s wall and will never fade. That helpless lost feeling that we ex- perienced when we first came to the school. We did not know any one, and no one knew us, it seemed as if the indi- vidual girl would never untangle hereslf from the crowd and gain her identity. We can not remember when it happened but one morning we awakened to find tiiat every thing had somehow straight- ened out, the crowd had vanished, and in its place we had friends or at least smiling acciuaintances. We remember how the drive looked in the autumn when the maples had burned crimson and gold, and the ivy tinted russet brown and red ; and that Febru- ary afternoon, when we were returning from town just at sundown, looking through the bai ' e swinging branches of the trees, we stopped and held our breath, for just ahead stood what must be an enchanted castle in the land be- yond the sunset, it was not possible that it could be the abode of moi ' tals. It stood in an unspotted field of white, just touched with rosy warmth. Its grey turrets seemed to touch the changing sky l)ehind, but the wonder of the place was its countless windows. They were pools of liquid fire, never the same, and always growing more beautiful. Surely the next minute a giant, fairies or gob- lins must appeal ' . It could not be real,, it could not last. Then it has disappear- ed, it is twilight and the school is just ahead. After the long winter, spring came at last, and one day we looked and saw the brown fields turi:cd to soft young; green and the orchards white with ])los- som. The canaries had built their nest in the thorn Inish with two small eggs in it, and a robin and h!s family were ' just over the door. We remember the night we looked out of the window and siiw the rose tulips under the light, surrounded by the mys- terious dark. It was almost too beau- tiful ; it filled us with wonder and awe as if we had entered a great cathedral. We remember the feelings that over- whelmed us, when with bowed heads our May Queen passed by. For the time she was not just one of our numl er, but the embodiment of all that the office stands for, the Ideal Woman, and it v as to the ideal woman and what she means to the world that we did homage. When we rose from our knees, we realized that we had gained something during the few minutes that we would never lose. We had caught a vision. Yes, we remember that dark place,, when we could not see our Avay out of
