1912 To Cliff W. Stone, B.S., ,~!.D· We debicale U!is volume of The Virginian as a mark of our respect anb esteem To The Virginian o Virginian, we send thee forth amid sundry hopes and fears! For thou art a symbol of our laughter and our tears. The noblest name of all we have chosen now for thee, And so ever true and loyal thou wilt have to be- A road of the loving heart back to the golden shore, Where friendships were begun and learning was in store. On thy pages are the faces that to our hearts were near, And the old, familiar places that memory holds so dear. Then sail forth, 0 Virginian, on our love as on a sea; For the ship that bears our treasures shall ever honored be. ANTOINETTE DAVIS. The Virginian

To the "Beloved Vagabonds"
0, ye who answer the Call of the Road As it lilts through the Voice of Spring, Do you think, as you wander over the world Through lands forgotten and ways unknown, Of the hearts that have ceased to sing?
Of the throbbing ache of the heart that comes To those who must watch and wait And wait and wait through the weary months Till the lkind gods turn to a merciless force, And one blindly calls it." Fate?"
By all the love of passionate hearts That are weary with longing- for you; By the power of thoughts that will arise When darkness enfolds and the stars bring dreams Of a girl who is always true;
By our anguish of spirit that cries to you, "Forswear the Gypsy Trail!" Heed not the lure of the Otherwhere; forget the Voice in the Wind! 0, masters, heed! For a woman's heart Is calling you home from the Trail. HELENA GERTRUDE KEISTER. PROF~, J, MERRITT LEAR Honorary Member of the Class of June, 1912 Senior Class

In truth, I should not say" alone," Together tears and smiles we oft have known, Each carries with her to her journey's end Till each to other seems as doubly dear The memory of some sweet companionship, When standing on the future's brink alone. Of Heaven's truest, dearest gift-a friend. And dearly held within our memories Are those whose teachings, lest our footsteps stray, As groping for a path through vistas dim, Have guided us and smoothed for us a way, Around this dear old school the future through As ships that from a safe and pleasant harbor Our thoughts shall ever with affection cling, Go forth upon the trackless deep are we, And many a tear for recollections treasured To breast the waves of trouble that may meet us The memories of our schoolgirl days shall bring, As on we go through life's tempestuous sea. 'Tis ours to find, then, for ourselves a way To pass untouched the dangerous rocks and shoals; To steer, the bitlows, reefs, and waves surmounting, To reach that which we strive for as a goal. Adown the" sounding corridors of time" In winds that played upon the forest branches, Come snatches of some ancient minstrel's song, Sweet chords of harmony he oft divined; Caught from out the melody of Nature The murmurs of the little babbling brooklet While wandering her winding paths along. Lent music to the music of the wind. The little flowers nodding in the breezes, The birds sang love and joy, a Father's care, The blades of grass that grow upon the lea, The whole of Nature was a melody, Were to him as the symbols of man's being- 9s o'er the strings his fingers lightly strayed, The notes that make our lives a melody, Drew from his harp sweet strains of harmony. Each day that dies, the ending of a song; The clouds are but a sorrow for the years; Each morn, the finding of another day; The rainbow, Nature smiling through her tears, Each life is but a little snatch of singing, Our lives are as a little winding brooklet; As lesser notes in Nature's larger song; Never very smooth its ebb or flow; And each must choose her notes with surest meaning, The rifts and rills, the obstacles that meet us Or mar its beauty should she play them wrong. As on through life's broad fields we daily go. Our friendships are like flowers, whose beauty rare Makes us so oft forget our sighs and tears; Whose sweetness, like the breath of springtime fragrance, Pervades our lives throughout th' uncertain years. The driftwood on the stream, our many burdens, Yet may we through the shadowed cou-rse of life That often in our lives of sorrow tell; Reflect the sunshine even to its ending, The rushes on Its sides, o'erhanging shadows Where, like the brook that flows to join the ocean, That darken, and the sunshine oft dispel. Self is lost at last in perfect blending. May we who gaze expectant toward the future From Nature and the brook learn truths sublime To help us, in the spending of our lives, Some mark to leave upon the sands of time. ELIZABETH HART.

Tne Long Ago Soft sighs the wind in the forest, The wood birds sing soft and low; Then I seem to hear through the twilight Sweet sounds from the long ago. My heart turns back to the home land, With the red sun sinking low; And the far, bright strand of my childhood Shines out from the afterglow. For I seem to see the pastures And the roses as they grew, While the sheep come home through the daisies With their fleeces wet with dew. When the purple .wealth of the lilacs Wind-borne from the garden wall, Then I see my own gentle mother, And I hear my brother's call. 0, spirit pure of the twilight, Whose hand can pictures trace, Would I could stay my time flight And keep each well-loved face! For my spirit yearns for the home land As the birds pass, flying low, For the sweet old land of my childhood, And the loved of long ago. JANIE C. SLAUGHTER.

This form of advertising has never appealed to me (for five and ten cent business). I sincerely hope that my previous impression was wrong. So it's up to you to show me the fallacy of my previous reasoning, and incidentally it's up to you whether or not this "ad" is to be continued. When you go to the Five and Ten Cent Store, just say, "I saw it in the Virginian." That is easy and will convince me, and will guarantee you a regular customer.
