I o the Class of 31 Frances Callier, '31 Once in a beautiful garden \\ here evergreen, ivy and oak abound, Seeds were scattered. They had variety in size and kind— A fact that little mattered, And so with desire they began. There was constant striving day by day, Each to be best in the way it should grow. The struggle was long; The forces within pushed sometimes on rock, Sometimes on good earth; Hut true, patient cultivators from their rich store gave nourishment; And gradually from a foundation solid and sound growth began. With the first view ot the world, realiza tion came— I hey were parts of a beautiful whole Wherein it was given either to grow in worth or to wither. Nature spoke, and tin* poplars marked in stature and in stateliness her stand ards. The struggles and strivings have just begun. Yearly they’ll yield in strength and in worth Man spoke: they whose lives have enriched other lives are proofs of noble heights. The gods spoke: they would help those who would help themselves. The time for choice had come; there was struggle within each seed. They were aware that what each should choose Meant that the whole garden would gain or lose. The reaping is now being done; The seeds were sown with care; the harvest is gathered with joy. In the garden of Spelman, the seeds are the students. They must be sent out into the world, not to boast of their worth and superior cultivation, Hut in simplicity to find planting, To grapple and take root, Waiting only a worthy harvest. Not merely a flowery crown. As fruits of seeds themselves, they, seeds must sow, That the reaping may bring a rich golden store. The victory is not yet won; Commencement Speakers We welcome as the speaker for the Bac- ealaurate service, May 31st, at 3:00 p.m., Dr. John Richard Sampey, president of Southern Baptist Theological Seminarv.

High Jump Record Broken Marion Bohler, '34 The National High School high jump record was broken by Ruth Westmoreland at the athletic meet on Spelman campus on Friday afternoon, May 22nd, before a large group of spectators. The contestant, representing the Atlanta I niversity Laboratory High School, jumped 4 feet, 9 inches, beating the official high school record for girls of 1925 by a margin of 2Hnches. President Read Entertains President Read’s reception to the faculty, alumni, and the graduating classes of Spel- man and Morehouse Colleges, held at Rey nolds ( ottage, was a delightful affair of the evening of May 30th. The guests found a welcome in the cordial greetings of Miss Read and Miss Eakin and in the loveliness of the decorations. Red rambler roses were banked on the mantels. Daisies, corn flow ers, and peonies peeped from unexpected places, and their colors blended with the soft lighting. On the lawn, which was lighted, the guests witnessed a program of musical numbers and a clever playlet, written by Miss Elizabeth W ilson. Refreshments were served in formal style: punch, strawberry ice cream, cakes, and salted nuts. Another pleasant event was added to the commencement season. I he results of earlier nurture.
