Conn. College Gym
 Center Of Actiuity

| The gymnasium at Connecticut l College is the busiest spot on the | campus. Its activities form q bril- liant kaleidoscope from early morn
 ing until late at night. Its atmos-
 phere changes from hour to hour. | It is called the gymnasium but it might with truth be called the au- ditorium, the chapel, the theater, a lecture hall or a ballroom. Morn l ing finds it quit and somewhat sub dued. Row upon row of students | bend their heads in prayer or lift their voices ip the morning hymn. | The devotional exercise done, the quiet breaks suddenly into tumult. The rows of chairs are noisily shoyed agianst the walls to clear the floor for the gymnasium class | es. The sunlight coming through the high windows singles out ropes and rings and other apparatus of the gymnasium. During the next hour the great bare room echoes the rhythm of marching feet, the intermittent thud of falling bodies as the students jump. the swish and whirr of the uniformed class es in formal gymnastics. Noon brings the rush for the mail since the gymnasium building houses the college substation.
 Early in the afternoon a riotous bask ketball game may be in prog ress, the gym floor a scene of rapid action, noise and excitement. AL most as soon as the last shout has died away ar eminent lecturer may stand upon the platform address ing gravely interested group of girls. once more seated in the mag ically assembled rows of stiff and orderly seats.
 What does evening bring? Per haps Q concert which students will attend in the simple loveliness of their evening clothes. Perhaps a student government meeting at which issues of vital importance will be discussed and heatedly dis puted. Possibly a party or a pa- geant or a dance. For each of these the gymnasium will assume the proper aspect. It will be dignified for the concert, focusing attention upon the grand piano and single bouquet of flowers against the sombre blue draperies of the stage, and its atmosphere will be hushed as the students talk in monotones, rustling programs softly. It will be duStGIC lOT tIe StuuCHL government meeting. For the party or dance it's breakness will vanish, transformed by lavish masses of color. brilliant lights and perhaps a profusion of flowers and greenery.
 Whatever its character of the evening, every vestige of it will be removed before morning so that the next days run may find the gym nasium ready for reverence, con- flict. gravity CT gayety as the hour may demand.
 Announcement is made of the marriage of Miss Margaret M. Reilly, daughter of MT and Mrs John Reilly of Lanarkshire, Scot land and James Cullen, son of MT and Mrs Patrick Cullen of Lanark- shire which took place on Novem- Der 29th at the Sacred Heart church.

THE ROSE STILL GROWS BEYOND
THE WALL
By A. L. Frink
Near shady wall rose once grew.
Budded and blossomed in Gods free light.
Watered and fed by morning dew,
Shedding its sweetness day and night.
As it grew and blossomed fair and tall.
Slowly rising to loftier height,
1t came to a crevice in the wall.
Through which there shone a beam of
light.
Onward it crept with added strength.
With never a thought of fear or pride
And it followed the light through the
crevice's length.
And unfolded itself on the other side.
The light. the dew. the broadening view.
We're found the same as they were
before;
And it lost itself in beauties new,
Breathing its fragrance more and more.
Shall claim of death cause US to grieve,
And make our courage faint or fall?
Nay. let us faith and hope receive
The rose still grows beyond the wall.
Scattering fragrance far and wide.
Just as it did in days of yore;
Just as it did on the other side.
Just as it will forevermore.
