FAREWELL
GENEVA FLORENCE
There shall he many memories for us in later days
When oft, in spirit, we return once more
To roam at will in old, famiMar spots—
To gaze upon remembered faces and loved scenes.
There shall be much to long for—much to regret;
We shall recall past joys and past despair;
For some of us there may be unhealed scars
That, pained by memory, shall bleed again.
We shall live over in our memories
The worTc, the play, the many talks we had;
We shall remember quarrels, tvith softened laughter—
We shall recall old scores and, then, perhaps, forgive.

THE BUFF AND BLUE
We shall live o'er again the exciting days of Autumn
When back to Kendall Green the students troop;
We shall thrill again to hoary, shivery Winter
When we went warmly wrapped from head to foot.
And once again we shall feel the ecstasy of Springtime—
We shall see the green-clad campus, where the setting stm
Makes us feel in our hearts a subdued glory
That sends lis to our rest in peace ivhen day is done.
Perhaps in some far future, outlined dimly
Behind the flimsy veil that hangs across our path,
In that delightftd land that poets sing of
Where mortals go when earthly life is past
We shall aivake to strains of eerie music,
And, turning, meet once more familiar forms
Of those whom we have loved here, or thought we hated—
And then, perhaps, find utter peace at last.

The annual Fashion Show took place in Chapel Hall Saturday
morning, May 14. A unique feature was the "Life of Gallaudet
in Tableaux" with four scenes, showing Gallaudet with Alice
Cogswell, Gallaudet with Sicard in France, the fFirst Class at
the American School in Hartford, and Young Gallaudet Avith
his Parents. The acts were very realistic. Several exercises with
pupils of the Kendall School taking part were enacted. Seventeen girls then took part in the Fashion Show proper. School
dresses, jacket frocks, street dresses, afternoon frocks and party
dresses were exhibited by these models. Several Congressmen
were introduced by Dr. Hall. Representative Burton L. French
of Idaho spoke a few words and then introduced Ms colleagues,
Representatives Edward L. Taylor of Colorado and WiUiam
Hastings of Oklahoma, all members of the sub-committee on
Interior Appropriations.
Sunday night. May 15, the Farewell Address of the Senior
class was delivered by J. Marion Bradley in Chapel Hall at the
last Literary Society meeting of the year. He gave a reading,
"The Indian Drum," before the farewell. George Lynch, replying for the Junior class, gave a second reading,'' The Sign of the
Fat Ox," after which came a response.
"With an Oriental setting effected with Chinese lanterns on
the Chapel terrace, the Junior class honored the Seniors with a
party Friday night. May 20. Gay decorative colors, amusing
games and still better food made the party very enjoyable to all.
An all-day outing was held by the "Women's Athletic Association at Rock Creek Park on Saturday, May 21. Playing
games, eating heartily of good food, and exploring the marvels
of nature in the vicinity occupied most of the time.
