Lee is re turning to his home in Southern Oregon. If employees or students know of old students or old-timers of Chemawa who are making good, we wish that your list be turned in to the Senior class. There has been a continuous rumor for the last few days around the campus to the effect that we were to be reseated in our big ‘ ‘eat house. ’ ’ Our dreams have come true, as we have been privileged to sit with whom we please. The old print shop, which is to be quarters for school guests, will soon have its interior remodeled. It will be a very conspicuous building because of its position on the campus. Boys from our carpenter shop are Mr. Davis’ helpers. They are learning quite a bit of carpentry which will help them in the fu ture. Mr. Ross is very busy on a campaign, but it does not happen to be tuberculosis stamps or anything of the like. It is a campaign on moles that are constant ly digging up our beautiful campus. Mr. Ross be lieves in the preservation of the beauty of our lawns and is putting forth all efforts to remedy this mole problem. ESCORTS Miss Semanski Mr. Shepard Winona - »...........................

Dec. 15—McBride - - - - Susi fur fctntutij Uy Will Durant the great reading room of the public JI library I peer over the top of my book jPg at a thousand students gathered round ” the tables. How varied they are! Some of them men of business, pursuing an illusive fact; But most of them young men and young women, bright-eyed and spirited, reso lutely conquering dull textbooks and ardently burrowing into the lairs of truth. A strange delight comes over me in that almost silent crowd: I feel . . . the vast process of trans mission through which the past pours down into the present its growing heritage of knowledge and wisdom, of art and courtesy; the trans formation of animals into men goes on before my eyes. It goes on today more than ever before. What libraries, what schools and colleges, and univer sities so numerous that he who runs may be a Ph. D.! Watch the crowds entering the Great Hall of Cooper Union in New York City on a Friday evening, and judge how many men and women, the country over, have realized that education, rightly seized, is not a task but a deepening exhilaration.................QI understand that there are more students in the high schools and colleges of America than in all the rest of the world combined. If this is so, then I can accept all the sad news that the pessimists bring me about my country, and bear it with fortitude and equanimity.
