NEW TRIER CAVALCADE As I watched the eighth graders wander througb our halls and over our grounds last week, a sincere feel- ing of envy arose in me. These prospective freshmen,'fortuinate crea- tùres , are, ju st beginning that great adventure -fo ur years at New Trier --and we, the seniors, have almost finished it., Our -two last gestres- presenitation of 'the class 'gift, and Publication of the Echoes will soon beé made. Iis strange to think that in less than .a, month the, commencement exercises of the class of 1933 will be over. As the last strains of Elgar's "Pomp and Circumistance" die away, we, shah , become history. *After..that eventful June 15, w e, having finished four bappy years of work and, play together, shall neyer again meet as a cdas .. These newý freshmen will take ùp the. bu rdens we havre carried -aid en- joy the pleasures we have enjoyed. They will fight for New Trier's naine on the athletic fields; they will work. in journalism, music, dramatics, de- bate and clubs; they will sweil the ranks of our T. N. T. and Honor sQ- ciety; they will corne to know our faculty and administration as pleas- ant human beings. In short, they will become an important force in the if e of New Trier. Yet, they in turn will pass into bis- tory-as the class of 1937.' May their four years within New Trier's friend- ly portals be as pleasant and profit- able as ours have been. -The .Consulting Editor.
