The world will never know them K!iiii just as they were before this week; it is doubtful even if they will ever look on themselves against just as they did before the formal exercises brought u change in their yoimjf lives. A few days aj'o.thcy were only hij;h school students--scniors, to be sure, with a certain dignity and gravity which differentiated them from undergraduates. Today they are high school graduates. Only last week they were still school boys and schoolgirls with lessons to recite and themes to write; they wore subject to all the demands made on stud ents, even as freshmen me subjected to such demands. Then came u series of tests and ordeals; a few days of anxious waiting; some little worrying on the part of some of these candidates for graduation as to whether they had made the grade. Following this they assembled for never-to-be-forgotten commencement exercises in which 1 hoy were given the final words of cheer and inspiration which turn students into graduates; and then the high .school doors closed forever to these Lu (irande young people in this city, a:id on the very same instant the doors of the wide, wide world opened to them. The youngest, but not the least important. Older fel-, Inw-ahimni and alumnae will lake an interest in these new recruits as older persons always do in those who are young er. The great world will be curious about this new school generation ; there will be watching and waiting to see who'lli cr these boys and girls whom the commencement orator has handed over to us lire really as clever and bright as their teachers have made them out to be. It is a great and growing army, this army of high pchnol graduates. May the new recruits find joy in bring ing credit to its achievements.
