mates are ready now to settle down and take their place in the com¬ munity. Others are not so content, and must move on to new and more promising horizons. The train creeps slowly but surely over the endless plains. Some settle here, some wait for the next stop, and others, the restless ones, will con¬ tinue further into the empty plains to achieve their goals.

But most of all we remember our Chemistry Teacher as a warm-hearted and sincere person. Weaver Nite is a success! Again the tireless efforts of one of the male faculty members are rewarded. Long hours of time, combined with patient and skillful direct¬ ing, have resulted in sheer entertainment. Kind-hearted¬ ness and generosity, his outstanding qualities, are seen in his daily routine as teacher to some and friend to all. As we blaze our trail through the long path of adulthood, we 6
