It has not yet been decided where the Baccalaureate Service will take place, but the Graduation exercises are to be held in the Audi- torium, June 23. We are all looking forward to this occasion with an eagerness not untinged, however, with a feeling of regret at leaving the dear old school where we have passed so many happy days. After graduation we will all go on with our education, some in colleges and universities, and others directly in the school of life. But may we all go out into the world to live our own lives, armed with our Class Motto: BE SQUARE — Doing all the good we can. By all the means we can, In all the ways we can, At all the times we can, To all the people we can. As long as ever we can. ANN POWELL. ELLA MORGAN.

Truth Truth — Prophecy — Truth While traveling in Egypt, I was much impressed by a strange belief, current among several of the nomadic tribes there, that to whomever sleeps in the shadow of the Sphinx on the first night of a full moon, she imparts some portion of her secret. Upon first hearing of it, this seemed to me a silly superstition, but after viewing for myself that solemn image hewn from rugged stone, I myself felt the silent influence which writers say has for centuries awed the world. Then, I was converted; and I resolved that in exactly one week, the moon being at that time in the first quarter, I would spend the night in the shadow of the Sphinx. I went the customary round of sight-seeing during that week; and having climbed the great pyramid in the afternoon of the day set for my weird experiment returned, to the hotel, partook of a light repast, and then ordered that a donkey be made ready to convey me to my odd sleeping place. It was nearly dark when I reached the Sphinx, whose mysterious features were now well veiled in riddling shadows, adding life-likeness to the expression of immutable wisdom which I had before observed in them. No one, who has seen the Sphinx at this hour, can doubt that it holds a most profound secret. I did not doubt, at that moment, that the Sphinx knew everything in earthly history. I cannot describe the sensations I felt as I curled myself up in my blanket at the foot of that weird creature — for the Sphinx seemed almost alive to me then — and strangely enough, I wondered where my classmates were. Then I watched the darkness creeping toward me over the gray, brown sands. I saw the stars come out, one by one, then the full moon rose, and soon, wearied from my afternoon ' s exer- tions, I fell asleep. I do not know how long a time elapsed, I only know the moon was high in air, when I was awakened by the thong, thong, of caravan bells, and saw a long train of camels passing by from the desert into the town. I was about to lie down again when I was suddenly arrested in my action by perceiving near me, in the air, a pale, white light, which steadily brightened as I sat rigid and motionless watching it. Then, as it flared up into a burst of radiance, it appeared to me as a beam of sunlight streaming through an open window, and illuminating the fair features of a saintly blue-eyed girl, whose cheer and gentle touch comforts and soothes the suffering. A soft smile lights the face of this angel of mercy who is Elizabeth Alderton. This vision pales, then the light brightens into the glow from a lamp, lighting a newspaper which is spread out upon the table. Great headlines announce the Presidential nominees, and among the names, is that of Robert Allardyce. A group of hungry, dirty children crowd around a young lady whose kindly face and sweet smile seem to enchant them. She is telling them lovely stories and giving them things to eat. These London slum children have never loved anyone more than they love this kind American girl, Ruth Appleby. A woman, in white cap and dress, walks through the Foreign Immigration Halls. She goes from one group of people to another, everywhere giving cheer, and to the little ones, candy and cakes. She is ' Ruth Avery, interpreter of languages at Ellis Island.
