IVY GRAFTON.

Merrill ID. Powers gave the final ora
ton, the ivy Grafton The custom Of
planting the ivy, he said, was inaugurat-
ed % years ago. The Ivy with its hid
den, symbolical meaning is likened to
ourselves when We came here four years
ago. Like us, the ivy was young when
first planted and less sturdy than the
higher and older plants. Soon it became
more Thoroughly rooted and grew. the
emblem of success AS it sends forth new
foliage. it signifies new successes for
1915. 1t is our duty to so live that the
Ivy will need to strive its utmost to rec
ord the noble deeds of the members Of
this class. We look to the ivy for guild
ance AS it tends steadily upward so
should the trend Of our lives he upward,
and so should our friendships and love
for our alma mater he held together.
With the conclusion Of the ivy Grafton
the class adjourned to the Billings library,
where the 1918 ivy was planted
