2 ▲ The Garnet and White Alma itlatrr Sons, T am the she-bird with her chicks; You fly—and are no more with me— Toward the skies of time that ticks Away your unseen destiny. Know' this, O Sons, though I see your form no more In my endless task of teaching other birdling nests, A mother forgets not soon the children that she bore; For in my secret mind there rests. When you depart, to soar into the far-off blue. The deathless love upon which Time cannot tell. So I offer not a sad and long adieu; I do but give a bright and fond farew'ell. Daniel Weiss, ’35.

The Garnet and While A A A 3 On thi SIhrrshuli» “And what is so rare as a dav in June?”—Lowell ONLY once do we stand on this threshold of life on a day in June. To others this may have been a festive occasion, but to us it has a sombre aspect. It is not the scent of June roses in a moon-lit garden, which makes us so thoughtful. It is something more tangible, and yet more remote. Time with its onward surge has swept us to the culmination of our high school career—to the footlights of the stage of life, over which we see a void blackness, except for a few heads. These leaders will seek to secure our support for their plans to solve our dilemma in these jobless times. Ours is the difficult task of choosing the most constructive policy. Never again shall we stand at this distressing yet, in some ways, delightful point. Henceforth, no teachers will attempt to understand us and to break our falls. Fifty years from now we may well look back and ask ourselves, What were our lives without thee?”-—Lowell It will have been our high school and our early training which will have taught us to discern those values which will have made our lives successful, or not successful. Surely the greatest lesson we shall have learned at West Chester will have been to adapt our lives to others. Now, as we leave, we hope that each and every one in the Class of 1935 may attain success, “And what they dare to dream of, dare to do. —Lowell Franklin Newman, '35. ◄—H—I---► (Dur message to tlte Class of ’36 CLASS of 36, what can we say to you? Since time immemorial graduating classes have tried to give advice. Yet we, who are confronted with doubts of the future, can hardly hope to become your mentors. It is not from us that advice should come, but from yourselves. You have now completed two years in Senior High School, and are, each one of you, better fitted to decide what those qualities are that will make your Senior year successful. The nearness of the break with all that is known has brought to us a realization of our short-comings. We acknowledge these and hope to correct them before starting out. Why cannot you look upon the coming year as the chance to make a fresh start and not just as the continuation of the previous years? Why can not you, too, take stock of your- selves as we are now forced to do? Instead of waiting until the close of your high school career, start now to overcome those bad habits which should not be carried into the future. Begin next year to form those traits which will aid in bringing you success later. Many problems similar to those which are found in high school will have to be tackled and solved after you have left. Profit by our mistakes. Make your Senior year an introduction to the future, rather than merely a conclusion to the past. Mary Frances Weeks, '35.
