U65 Bda! s BLLLKCLST As Progress or Building is the theme of this Natsihi, it is appropriate that we dedicate this poem to members of the Whitworth faculty. It is they who are always ready to serve us and who are willing to Go the second mile. 1 4 An old man going a lone highway, Came at evening, cold and gray, To a chasm, vast and deep and wide. The old man crossed in the twilight dim,- The sullen stream had no fear for him: But he paused when safe on the other side And built a bridge to span the raging tide. Old man, said a fellow pilgrim near, You are wasting your strength with building here, Your journey will end with ending day, You never again will pass this way. You've crossed the chasm deep and wide, Why build you the bridge at eventide? The builder lifted his old gray head,- Good friend, in the path I have come, he said, There followeth after me today A youth whose feet must pass this way. This chasm, that has been naught to me, To that fair-haired youth may a pitfall be. He, too, must cross in the twilight dim,- Good friend, I am building the bridge for him. -Author Unknown.

, ...V I l U55 Jlfsw Peace came into my heart todayl It was nothing that is strange Or new that quieted me: ' But softly through the rain-washed air The herald of spring, the robin, sang. New life is burgeoning forth: From out the dim and dismal grays Bright greens and yellows gleam: Mountain ashes drop those withered leaves Held fast through all the winter winds. The buttercups and the yellow bells, The blue-eyed grass and the adder's-tongues Are all asserting spring has come. Cloud fleeces, blanketing the sun, Are left behind: pine needles gleam. To us each spring the message comes: Put off the old, put on the new: And make this pledge with life and love: Live valiantly: work in your little world With others' happiness in view. -LORRAINE RASCO.
