Union is symbolized in the unity we. as a class, have experienced. Cementing these close lies are the mutual enthusiasm and fellowship fell at a school game, or the deep understanding and sympathy given when one ol us sidfered misfor- tune. We bid farewell to the halls of Union, to the feeling of warmth there which comes from mingling with students, hearing lockers clanging, and the enthusiastic greeting of friends’ voices.
