Excerpt from The Oracle, Vol. 6: June, 1910
For the merry companions are gone in all directions some will return after the holidays, refreshed and re invigorated, some are never to meet again. And for those of us who are leaving school forever, it is a time of sadness when we must bid farewell to our books, fare well to the Collegiate, farewell to our friends of old and all the scenes we loved. Those scenes are to be exchanged for rougher ones - the daily battles of school give place to the greater Battle of Life, and every man must fight for himself.
But we pause here regretfully a moment, looking back upon the times that are gone, gazing forward to the times which are to come. And as we stand thus, what a flood of recollections comes upon us! How short the time since we sat perspiring in a dark class room, writing wearily on the Entrance Examination, while the great shady maples outside were whispering of coolness and comfort beneath their branches And those first few days at the Collegiate - shall we ever forget them 7' And the long weeks when we worked manfully on, while bricks and plaster thundered down in the passage and noxious gases curled in from brazen salamanders The school has changed around us, and now we are hurried on like the rest.
At this time, too, the thousand little occurrences of the class-room all come back to us. That dog-cared Latin crib - that musty old German exercise-book with out the cover - those horrible mistakes we used to make in F renc.h - t'he cutting remarks which the teacher made about them - even the numerous painful interws we had with the Principal, and the penitent promises we made to 'be good - all these lose whatever was disagree able in them and blend in the one pleasant memory of our school-days that are over. All over, passed away, and soon they sink into the oblivion of the past.
