THE CHEM AW A

N E A R IN G A C L O S E
Before the next issue of The American comes from the press work in
the academic department will have closed for the school year. All things
earthly, in human and material existence, have a beginning, hence must
have an end. Everything bears witness to the truth of this statement—
disprove it if you can.
Youth-time is the period of school-time. And, although youth sel­
dom realizes the fact, youth-time, too, must have its close. This joyous
period of life fades away ere we are aware of it and often we look back
in after, or later, life and regret that we did not make better use of life’s
spring-time. Regrets are vain. Now is the time to study, to prepare
for future achievement.
We are pleased to state that we feel positive that our young people
have profited during the last year of academic work to a large degree.
This fact is the best kind of testimonial and endorsement of our academic
department. We are also equally certain that work in the various in­
dustrial departments of the school has been of an excellent character
Such being the case, we will be enabled to make a satisfactory close of
the year’s work.
