Graduation from the deriva- tion means a step. Not a jumping-off place, nor a beginning, as vve are inclined to think, but a step. Of course it is a big step, the biggest yve have yet taken. a landing-place, as it yvere, yvhere yve may stop to rest a moment and look back upon the steps yve have already climbed before yve prepare to go on. Noyv, as yve gaze back doyvn the years. it seems that yve have come far, that yve are old in yvorldly yvisdom, and have suf- fered much. XYe reflect, at sight of those stairs, upon the yvay in which yve have ascended them. Some have stumbled on, groaning as they looked at the hard tasks ahead of them: others have gone yvith leaps and bounds, taking cheerfully every opportunity offeredg still others have simply been carried along by the crowd. Here are the teachers who have guided us and helped us over the rough places. They are about to return to lead others to the place that we have reached. There. too. are the -luniors, and beloyv them the Sophomores, and the entering class yvho are to take our places in the yvork of the school. lYe pause a moment to thank the teachers for their assistance and to yvish our successors the best of luck before ive turn to the future. There. yve see not one stairyvay but many branching off from the platform upon yvhich yve are standing. for yve are novv to go different yvays. In this di- rection everything is dim and indistinct. lust above yve can distinguish the Alum- ni, vvhom yve shall soon join. llhat is beyond vve can only imagine: but to our excited eyes all is bright: for xve have great hopes and dreams. We do not noyv knovv what vve shall do. We all vaguely resolve, as we say fareivell to the past and yvelcome to the future to do some- thing big and splendid. XX hatever yve do. be it great or small, yvherever yve go, may our deeds be ever in the great Task- master's eye. lYe shall miss at graduation one who has ever been an important part of our class, our best student. Ture Lundell. :Xt the end of the Sophomore year, having lived in ,-'imerica and having spoken our tongue for only four years, he had done so yvell in English that he yvas appointed Assistant Editor of the Mirror. In the junior year he' received the XYoman's Club prize for the best article other than a story printed in the school magazine for the Year. Last fall, of course, he be- came Editor-in-Chief, but yvas able to edit only one issue, in yvhich, hovvever. vvere cartoons and cover design drawn by him, before he was overtaken by scar- let fever. It yvas at this time, also, that he yvas yvorking yvith the Senior Play Committee. of which he yvas Chairman. Since that time yve have constantly hoped to see him back among us, but he became so weakened by his illness that he has had to go ayvay to recuperate. XYe knoyv that ongraduation night everyone will have a prayer for the recovery of the classmate yvho sacrificed his health to the service of his class and of his school. XYe yvish to apologize for a typograph- ical error in the last issue. The correct form should have been: Thoughts by Emily County and just Like a Boy by Pearl Neal.
