After helping them reload their ship with fresh water, Jack said good bye to his isle forever and although he was going to a home much more pleasant he hated to leave the island and its beauties. He easily made friends with the crew on board and all were interested in his story. After several weeks of pleasant sailing they arrived at the same port from which Jack sailed when he left home. He said good bye to his newly-made friends and walked hurriedly toward his old home. It was a happy surprise indeed to his dear old mother who was still praying for his return. ALICE TAYLOR, '05.

Every class has its organization and every member should attempt to keep the organization as it is.
