JAMES CHALMERS. A.B.. Ph.D. D.D.. L.L.D., Principal A SONNET By Dr. James Chalmers Written for the Dial as a Benediction to the Class of 1925. When all man's days are numbered with the past, When the sun of life is sinking in the West, And fast the falling shadows speak of rest, When care and toil and pain are o'er at last, And Gabriel with his trumpet blows the blast That starts the waking wretch and calls the blest Alike to judgment; then at His behest Who rules the world and made the heavens fast, May thou receive the plaudit of "Well done, Thou good and faithful servant." And may none Who make the world seem brighter by their stay, Be aught but stars revolving round that Sun Who taught to man that "He and I are One, And who believes shall have eternal day." HONORARY MEMBER 1925 CLASS To the Class of 1925 "As a rule we like the man who thinks the weather is going to clear up, better than we do the one who is sure it has set in for a long rainy spell." —NIXON WATERMAN. "2 So ^ rv "Ever charming, ever new, When will the landscape tire the view?" "This is the place. Stand still, my steed, Let me review the scene And summon from the Shadowy Past The forms that once have been." THE 1925 DIAL STAFF Editor-in-Chief Ruth W.

GREEXOUGH Framingham, Massachusetts "Believe in your mission, greet life with a cheer; There's big work to do, and that's why you are here." The above is the last message Miss Greenough ever gave to the girls of F. X. S. She came to Framingham in 1914 as a teacher of history and civics in the Regular department. For ten successive years the school was fortunate enough to have her on the faculty. A true believer in "There's big work to do . .," she planned an exten- sive European cruise for the summer of 1924 to better fit herself for her profession. The trip was taken after years of planning and anticipation, and those who heard from her could tell us how happy she was during the trip. After her return to U. S. late in T the summer she became ill, and though we expected her return to F. X . S. soon after school opened, such was not to be. In September Miss Greenough took the Last Journey from which there is no return. Beneath a rather strict and perhaps stern exterior was a loving heart, sympathetic and helpful, as only those who really knew her found. F. N. S. can surely regret the loss of such a teacher whose last journey in life was taken so that she might be able to tell us about the things we would enjoy and the knowledge of which would help us grow.
