TO WESTWOOD HI Just the moon above the hills Swinging low, swinging low, O’er the haunts of gnomes and elves Where the slow winds blow; And my banjo strings a-humming Like the grouse’s timid thrumming; Then the purple mountains haunting, ’Cross the years a-calling, “Come!” Then back come memories of yore When the teachers, moaning, Said, “Chew that gum no more, Else take your books and go a-roaming.” Still their voice will linger on, As I go down that last, long trail Where happiness has no end, And High School bothers me no more. Earl Fitch ’31. 6

Trees in our forests are somewhat similar to students in our schools. Each year the cruisers and timber graders go through the forests and select the trees best fitted for the needs of the world. The trees selected are mature in growth, they are tall and stately and have few or no de- fects. They have struggled against rain, wind and storm in an effort to become tall and strong and have proved their right to the great honor of having Paul Bunyan’s Big Blue Ox take them at one stride from the forest home of their youth out into the world of usefulness. Those that are left are trimmed and prepared to await their turn to go out into the world. Similarly each year students are picked to go out into the world to do their bit. They are mature; they have learned and are willing to learn more. They have weathered the storms and hard knocks of the early years of their life. They are fitted to meet the problems of the world and they look forward to them with unflinching spirit; while those not yet selected are preparing themselves for the time when they also will go on.
