Another June! And with it our departure. From these beloved halls of O. L. C; We face the east, — the rising sun, — the future, And grasp the opportunities to he. Before us stands the ever-open doorway. And we must pass into the great un nown: What hitter sorrows and defeats are waiting! V hich we must meet and overcome alone. But fond remembrance of our Alma IsAater Guides and protects us as of old; We face the east, — the rising sun, the future. With hearts ablaze li e fires of burning gold. Many and varied are the feelings of the girl who passes from old Trafalgar Halls — never to return as a student. As she enters the wide, wide world where she will live her individual life, she carries with her a certain spirit, kindred to that of hei Alma Mater. Memories of her college days will return to her. — Days when she wandered over the beautiful campus — now wrapped with a crystal cloak of pure snow, — now decked in the rich green of the grass and the pink and white of blossom time. The castle of her dreams will be none other than fair Trafalgar. Friendships — more lasting, more precious than gold, will follow her down through the years. No girl can leave O. L. C. in all its June beauty without experiencing a feeling of sadness and regret. The ideals and traditions of the college go with her into the future, and in her heart echo the immortal words, ' ' O! Alma Mater! How can we from thee part? M. F. Page Fourteen

OUR FINANCIAL DEPRESSION This financial depression that is outwitting our most competent financiers is so prevalent that instead of reading the front page of the daily newspaper for news, one reads the help wanted columns. The resort of the unemployed in connection with this financial difficulty, the so called bread line, in our busy cities, often excites pity, and yet this form of securing our sustenance has been in use for years in the college, and no gentle lady has shed a tear on our behalf. Then again we think of the West and the poor farmer who, if he is fortunate, sells his twelve dozen eggs for one dollar and thirty-nine cents, and returns home only to find that the expressman has been there before him, leaving in his wake a bill for a dollar and twenty-nine cents, which leaves the poor farmer with ten cents with which he is expected to keep his family. And yet during the past year we have had a situation which in reality is a great deal more serious than this world-wide problem. Like the farmer, our Athletic Association sells the blazers, sweaters and tuques, but unlike the farmer, the expressman ' s bill completely overshadows the receipts. And yet none of our leading statesmen have paced the floor on our behalf. We agree with the financiers that the only way to alleviate the preesnt situation is for all to do their part. N. T.
