Turning my light low and drawing my chair close beside the fireplace. I sink hack among the cushions. I gaze, musing, into the glowing coals and as 1 dream, my truant fancy wanders hack over the avenues of years to take a glimpse here and there at the events of our high school days. A glowing log rolls off the andirons, casting a shower oi golden embers in a roseate haze over the grate A wreath of smoke slowly rises in a never ceasing promenade. Suddenly the smoke blurs, and a succession of faces appear: then incidents follow quickly, one alter another, before our reminiscing visi n. until the entire panorama of our freshman year is unfolded. We see again that bright morning in September whe.i we entered the study-hall for the first time. How vast i: seemed and how solemn the teachers standing along the wall! But soon we were taking part in the various school activities and the true spirit of Illume High began to he instilled into us. It was this year that we were first initiated into the mysteries of Latin and Algebra. The 1 gs begin to smoulder. A little manipulation of the poker causes the sparks again to rise in a dusty cloud of smoke. Another panorama unfolds before ns. We are Soph-111 ires. We may now look with amused toleration upon the mistakes f the frcshics. for we have lost our emerald hue. We long since ceased to have heart palpitation, when called upon to recite, and to stumble over our own feet when we went to sharpen our pencils. The teachers no longer seem as grim sentinels, but as comrades and helpers. Now our true worth bee; mes evident to the upperclassmen for we begin to appear in the orchestra, glee clubs and basket ball teams. Though forced to do the nine months work in six because of the “flu” epidemic, we work diligently and come through with flying colors. The smoke curls playfully up the chimney. This year some of us plunge into the depths of Business Law, while others struggle with the intricacies of French composition. We work and play with equal ardor and enthusiasm, and some of our members win distinction in the county track meet. The fire still burns—and burns. Our Senior year appears - the gayest and the happiest of all our school days. nc by one the scenes glide by like the many-colored pictures of an ever-shifting mirage—basket-ball games that we watched with breathless suspense while the score hung in the lxilance, and rousing cheers when a basket was made—long hours spent over Latin translations and bookkeeping accounts that refused to balance—clowns and princesses tripping joyously at a masque dance- the three Ik»vs and two girls of our class who won the High School “ at basket ball—Monday mornings in chapel—various predicaments that we have all been in at one time « r another- the dying embers bring t » us the realization that our High School davs are almost ended and we shall soon leave Illume High for the last time. Perhaps wc shall turn and look back at it with a regretful mist in our eves. But. if there is regret in our eyes, there shall also be anticipation. for we have high, high hopes, wc Seniors, and we feel that the world may expect great things of the cla s of ’21. The fire is out—the tale is done. —EDITH LYNE TWENTY-FIVE
