All worthy pillars in Gods great tenn
pie of life.

And who may worship there?
| Not he who, climbing. has fashioned
His ladder of the lives and souls Of
his fellows;
! Not he who is blown like a leaf on
t the wind,
But he whose ambition is lofety.
Who works with his mind and his
+ hands.
1.-The the light of this temple of serv-
Sends its challenge far down to the
| vale
Bidding us all to look up.
! Come! Let US lay our work on the
! altar "a
And reverently kneel at the shrine. +
| Pouring forth in prayer and Te Deum
! Our JOY, our love, and our praise"
The Class History
Probably no class has witnessed
| four more eventful years in the his
| tory of any college than has the
class of 1921 of Bates. Miss Minerva
| Cutler of Medfield, Mass, was the
member of the class selected to re-
view the story of its work at Bates.
! Address to Undergraduates
The address to Undergraduates,
was given by Winslow S. Anderson
of Portland. He mentioned that the
class stood at the threshold OF a new
era for Bates: whether or not this
will be an era of growth and expan-
sion depends not only on the work
of President Gray and the faculty,
but in no small measure on the
shoulders Of the undergraduates"
:: Mr.. Anderson recognized four hori-
IONS in which the college should eX-
pand. The first is that OF athletics,
with football the special goal Sec
ondly, that of debating. Here Bates
! should live up to her reputation.
The third horizon is scholastic. TO
day it is often the case that too mucn
stress is placed on athletic ability
and not enough on the scholastic. 1t
has not been so in the past at Bates
and it rests on the undergraduates to
see that it is not so in the future" j"
Lastly, the speaker mentioned the
college societies. He suggested that
in the future more college societies
should give some attention to new
students.
At the close of his address Mr.. An
derson said These are the four
horizons toward which you must
strive If you yourselves do not
reach the goal, at least let it be said
of you as it was of President Chase
He wrought for Bates"
The Address to the Halls and
Campus was given by Carlton L.
Wiggin of Sanford. His remarks
were brief, and in their general
nature showed the reverence Of his
classmates for anything that savored
of Bates.
The Prophecy
The prophecy was in the nature of
a conversation between Miss Irma
Haskell of Auburn and Frank H.
Blackington of Chester Depot, VT.
They imperSonated an old couple
talking together. They were sup
posed to be prosperous, we'll to do
pay her call a great many years
after their graduation, and to talk
over with her the old days at Bates
All the arts from crystal gazing,
ouija playing, to writing gypsy songs
were employed in the course of the
prophecy. 1t was an exceedingly
clever piece of original work. A few
knocks" on the faculty were worked
in a. advantageous points.
The Farewell Address
Charles L. Stevens of Stoneham,
Mass. CAV, the farewell address. He
began: LAS Alexander Smith has said.
a mans real possession is his memo
ry. In nothing else is he rich In
nothing else is he poor
I'VE are soon to leave this dear old
campus. No words can reveal our emo
tions as we bid farewell to this spot
that has become very dear to US all.
We have obtained the one-time goal
of our ambitions. but that goal is no
iGuger the end and object of our la
hors. Rightly we look forward in the
realization that yesterday was but a
step in the preparation for tomorrow 8
service
Closing his remarks. Mr.. Stevens
quoted Longfellow:
Far off l hear the growing Of the
cocks,
And through the opening door that
time unlocks,
! Feel the fresh breathing of Tomorrow
creep"
"AS we bid farewell to our Alma
Mater let US inoculate in our lives the
, ideals for which it stands, sincerity of
purpose, loyalty, fidelity, and honesty"
The Pipe Grafton
! The class then followed the custom
of passing around a pipe. A spirit akin
to sadness seemed to hover above the
gathering as this traditional ceremony
was performed. Robert Jordan of
Cumberland Center delivered the Pipe
Grafton: Friends he began, this is
a friendly ceremonial. 1t precedes sep
aration, and the separation of friends
/ is not a time for rejoicing. But neith-
er do we sorrow, for the separation is
! inevitable and regret cannot mitigate
the sorrow of it's own mourning The
undergraduate organization of the
class of 1921 will soon be broken.
AS one cloud of smoke joins and
! blends with another, our hearts are
Joined in fellowship and peace. Let
US smoke the Pipe of Peace"
/ The Class Day Ode
| Following the smoking of the pipe
of peace, the class arose to sing their
class day ode. 1t is a beautiful little
song, to the tune of Follow the
Gleam,' and was written by Miss
Florence Lindquist of Manchester
| n. H.
From the years that so swiftly have
Full of mem'ries so bright and gay
