Halpiutorg, 1933 School days! What a lot those two words bring to mind! And when we reali2;e that those days have come all too quickly to an end, with what mixed feelings we look forward to the future! — happy, because we know that the time has come when we may be more active members of our generation, and also because we have all longed to taste life without the ties that bind us in school; sad, because we realize as we look back, the protection and privileges that have been ours, and will be ours no more. For some of us school days have been a part of our lives nearly as far back as we can remember. Whatever we go on to do in University, office, studio or hos ' pital, the training our Alma Mater has given us will always be a firm and sure founda- tion upon which we may build. We have lived here as one family and grown to respect one another through con- stant association and mutual love for our school. We have lived in this stately old building, and we have watched its beauties through the changing seasons. We have roamed freely in these halls, feeling that they belonged to us. Those of us who have experienced more than one year here, have found that each year brings its own gifts and responsibilities. The first year is the year of adjust ' ment, the year of changing old habits for new. In the second year we feel great pride in being Old Girls and know the added responsibilities that come with that title. Then each year brings us into closer relationships with O.L.C. and our school friends. We come to feel that the school festivities are ours. We have enjoyed each term with its own activities together, and now we have come to the end of the last term of the year which has such a special and significant meaning for the Seniors. All of these things have grown to be such a vital part of us that we know we shall never wholly leave them behind. We realize this year that the world is not waiting with open arms to welcome us into its activities. Although sheltered, our college life has taught us to hold responsi- bilities and to face disappointment. Thus we have learned that courage is the thing most needed in life. We have freely received; we must freely give. Our Alma Mater has done many things for us and now we would ask one thing more of her, and of you. Do not forget us! Juniors, next year when you fill our places and improve upon our ways, remember that they were our positions and that we were proud of them. Now in saying goodbye to our Alma Mater, we must also say goodbye to our friends and teachers with whom friendship and association has meant a great deal, especially Dr. Carscallen, our Principal; Miss Maxwell, our Honourary President; and Miss Beer, our class teacher. As we leave let us take with us Keats ' words: A thing of beauty is a joy forever, ' ' and remembering them we may feel assurance in the knowledge that our school days are past merely in the physical sense; spiritually, we will always be students here and our Senior year will not only be a thing of beauty in memory, but a joy forever, as a living inspiration throughout our days. — Mary Harshaw.
