The Shining Light

M. E. B.

This learned I from the shadows of a tree
That to and fro did sway upon a wall:
That our shadow selves—our influence—may fall
Where we ourselves can never be.

There was a medal given at the graduation exercises held recently in the High School in one of our suburban towns. The medal was given by a prominent man in the town for the scholar who, in the opinion of the teachers, had exerted the most influence for good in the school. Their decision was kept secret till the night of the closing exercises, when it was awarded by unanimous vote to a young girl whose gentleness, courtesy, and good influence in the school were thus recognized.
