Q0 THE ARIEL, VOLUME XXIV achievement, with nothing of the startling in it. We shall not stamp loudly upon the outer stage when we make our bowg we shall make our entrance quietly, as we should- with our rubbers on, as it were. As we turn now and look upon the life behincl, memories crowd upon us. Mem- ories of college friendships, of college loves,-yes, even of college follies-that will recur to brighten the life of each of us. Timeis wheel cannot efface themg eternity cannot wither themg they are imperishable. They will glow within our hearts. So we turn from our Alma Mater, warm in heart ancl strong in spirit.

We have welcomed each rebuff as teaching us that we gain the most when we do the best. l-lere we have caught, Hints of the proper craft, tricks of the toolls true playf' If there lurk within us flaws, we shiall mend them. We are not as many as We were, but that is to be expected in the natural order of things. We have done our part and done it well in all the diversified paths of college life.
