For life has no glory Stays long in one dwelling And time has no story That ' s true twice in telling And only the teaching That never was spo en Is worthy thy reaching The fountain unbro en. These lines you will remember are the closing lines of George Russell ' s short poem Truth. We recall them to-day because this is one of the occasions when our hearts are divided between the dear and happy days of school just closing for us, and the untried, inviting future. We shall return again to this lovely place to renew old friendships and associations and to see perhaps more clearly its beauty, which daily custom takes too often for granted, but we shall be a part of it no more. To us its teaching has been spoken and we must travel to the fountain unbroken for life has no glory stays long in one dwelling. Yet this lovely dwelling has a light for us that shines on the new road and opens it to us with gladness and hope. Looking at the beautiful campus one late afternoon in early summer there came to ' me a recollection of its aspect in the winter season; there was no sense of bleakness or desolution in my remembrance, for there is in the mingling of evergreens and the grouping of its trees and shrubs an eternal loveliness. In our lives to come we shall carry into the less fruitful and abundant days the shapes of beauty, still to blossom afresh, and shall fear no bleakness or desolation. All the loveliness of the old building and the living beauty of the gardens and orchards are but a background for the most important element in our school life. In the associations with our teachers and classmates we gain a sense of friendly fellowship that gives us confidence for other tasks. So gathering as we stray, a sense Of Life, so lovely and intense It lingers when we wander hence. Verna Kinman. ' Eighteen
