feet flower. She awoke with a frightened
cry to find it all toe true. The blossom
was missing-in vain she searched, first
hurriedly, then with quiet, saddened foot
steps, she pursued her lonely way, re-
membering ever the thrill of delight that
had gladdened her heart for that brief
while She never found the perfect
flower, never found similar one--never
found any other that brought 1t to mind
but out of natures great storehouse
she gathered the best of everything and
carrying them to the place of her disap-
pointment, made the spot so beautiful
that none passed that way without paus-
ing to view it.
And one day there was waited to her
a breath of perfume so intoxicatingly
sweet that she questioned whence it
came, and there close beside her grew a
little flower She lifted it tenderly and
carried it to her lips and as she did so,
she beheld its purity and learned it
was immortal. and hers TO keep forever.
And she called its name Friendship.

THURSDAY at the close Of the session to
decide on design for a graduating
pin. The meeting was called to order
by President Mears, and after the read

signs for the class pin were passed
around. The one selected by the major

surrounded by thin gold band about an
eighth of an inch in width. The raised
center Of blue with 1900 upon it gives the
pin very unique appearance. The pin
also has the letters IS. II. s." As a
