"keep Tryst."

Miss Reeta Plant delivered a short
address to the Undergraduates. The
address was prefacad by an essay en-
titled Keep Tryst" The story was u
Edcryn, an orphan in the court of a
great earl in the kingdom OF Arthur.
Fired BY the stories of a wandering
minstrel and ambitious to do great
deeds the orphan asked what he should
u to gain the rank of Knight. He
Vas told that the king wished to have
a circle of a chosen few about him,
men whose fidelity have stood the
greatest test. To Merlin, the enchant l.
err was left the choice and the call
would be made to those who listened at
early dawn in high places. The time
of testing would be long with many a
summons to sorrow, duty, disappoint-
ment and defeat NO matter what
the tryst is. there is only one reply.
To the kings call. o list, Thou heart
and hand of mine. keep tryst, Keep
tryst or die
Ederyn follows the calls which m
deed lead him in many places of DIS
appointment and away from the pains
he would have followed. AT last he
received the summons to report at the
nalaca gate He arrived on time after
more trials and as the king rode forth
and that the king might know that he
had proyed faithful he fell on his knees
and barred his breast where all his
pledges. glittered. There Pain mad
dropped glittering ruby. Honor had
placed a golden star. Sorrow let fall
diamond and amethysts marked his
patient meetings with defeat. Many
nearls were there to show little duties
we'll done. AS the people gazed on nm
the Jewels took the shape of letters and
the king read out before them "Semper
Fidelis" Ederyn was made knight
for his labours and commanded TO rioe
| always at the kings side.

The VaIedictory.

Mary Olive Gosline delivered the
valedictory. the part awarded for the
highest rank during the course. In
part she said:
Among the important divinities OF
|the ancient Romans was Janus, god
of the beginning and the end. He
was represented with two faces, one
looking forward, the other backward;
one watching the future destiny of his
worshipers. the other guarding their
past from harm.
Like Janus we stand here. tonight
looking forward to the breaking dawn
of our new life. Through four long
happy years we have looked forward
to this moment as the pinnacle Of our
happiness-the elimination of our
hearts desire. Yet now we look back
TO and with sadness. How joyful we
thought this moment would be. But
now when it comes, our hearts are sad
within us and the years which seemed
so long to us before are all 4 TOO short
now. We realize now that tonight is
the last time we shall stand together as
classmates of the dear old Gardiner
High school. 1t is as if the veil of
our dreams and fancies We're suddenly
lifted and we are face to face with life
real, earnest, throbbing life.
Teachers-to whose kindness and
wisdom we owe SO much, we thank
you from the depths of our hearts for
your unfailing help and goodness.
E'riends-to You who have encourI
aged us in our work by your bountiful
support--to you who have overlooked
our weaknesses and forgiven our short
comings, we do gratefully render our
heartfelt thanks. e.l~ .. @t
Classmates--comrad of four sweet
I,happy years, farewell, Too short
these years seem now that we are to
part. But may our new life open be-
fore us with greater opportunities and
higher ideals than were ever ours be-
fore. May we look back upon these
days not only as, the happiest ones Of
our life, but as the days in which our
minds were enriched and broadened by
the lives of those men of whom we
have read and as the days in which we
learned those manners which max
eth man And may our tenderest
memories cling to this dear class and
to those years, however short. which
we have spent under the time worn
