When they had danced themselves tired Johnnie End ers proposed that Morris "Cravy" Plymate make a speech. His speech was something of a disappointment to those who have entertained any hope of his entering a political field. Helen Dlckerson did a little better. She was finally persuaded to give a yell, and so gave them the horse laugh. Her little contribution ended the initiation and the class was deemed deserving to be allowed to .help the old members consume the luncheon that was ready In the ad Joining room. The luncheon was simple but sufficient and very tasty, It was served by Win Crowson. Dur ing tbe course of tbe luncheon a series of telegrams were received, something as follows: Ralph Harris: The last handcar to Walker avenue leaves at 10 o'clock and has already left Mlldfed. The next one was from Eugene and read thus: Morris Plymate. I have secured you a Job In a glue factory and a position on the baseball team. Take the next freight. Dorothy. One from Medford read: Meredith Beaver: You are wanted here on a charge of street brawl. Chief Hittson. One from Talent: "Chick" Farlow: Come at once. There are only eight more dances left. Alice. And the last one from Phoenix: Margaret Ames: Hurry back, the car awaits. Tel. Win Crowson was the toastmaster. The first toast was given by Homer Billings to the graduating class, and was full of wittloisms, mingled with seriousness. Ralph Harris answered to this toast. He told how much his 13 VINING THEATRE c TONIGHT MONDAY ONLY TTnp Entirely different from any- i u wing you nave ever steu. Hi A Sensation Drawing Big Crowds Wherever Shown. la TO The May Co.

Johnnie Enders now proposed a toast to the faculty. Eunice Grubb's toast to the men was very short and very spicy. Then last but not least Vic Mills made a short speech about the aims and aspirations of tho A'lumni Association, and told something of what had already been accomplished by it. At the end of his talk he pro posed a toast to "The Aims and Aspirations of the Alumni Asocia tion. This ended the lefreshments, and the people adjourned to the other room, where "quite a spell" was enr gaged in a general good time. Thirty-Four Finish High School On last Thursday evening thirty four young people received the dip lomas which proclaim them to be graduates of the Ashland high school. The exercises were held in the arm ory. The stage was a mass or now ers. It was decorated with black and gold, the colors of the graduating class, and red and white, which do not need to be explained. Thee was an immense crowd. Both the main floor and the gallery of the armory were filled. The class filed onto the stage as the high school orchestra played. Rev. A. R. Blackstone gave the invocation. Then after another piece by the or chestra, the class prophecy was given by Harold Frohbach. He read his 1 message out of a 1925 "Rogue." It was a very good prophecy. Professor Moore introduced the speaker, Dr. E. S. Conklln of the Uni versity of Oregon. Dr. Conklin's speech dealt mostly with what is ex pected of the individual who Is grad uating. Some of his main points are as follows: A very great deal is ex pected of the graduate of the high school, college or other institution much more than any one can accom plish. This is rather a bad thing as It puts both the school and the grad uate in an unfair position. There are several things that hinder the school in doing its full duty to the student,. One of these factors Is the influence of the home. Parents fly in school. On the other hand, If they do hear anything new that they think out to be there they fly off the han dle again. This causes a sort of friction between tbe teacher and the parents which makes the best result impossible. Another thing is the sort of stories of school life told the chil dren by the parents of the school life when they were young. Instead of telling them stories to Inspire them to greater Intellectual effort they tell of the time that they "hauled Farmer Jones' cow up onto the parsonage roof," etc. Another thing to be contended with is the material from which the graduates are to be made. Some who enter school could go to school all their lives with no good result. "When one man asked why his son did not do better in school a professor said: "It is Impossible to polish cheese." Another handicap of educa tion is the fact that teachers do not remain in the service long enough to be really efficient. Four years is the average length of a teacher's teach ing. This makes organization prac tically Impossible. No improvement which takes a long period of time for its perfection can be brought about when teachers are changed so often. Preparedness really begins In the school. The reason for Germany's success In the present war is that the pupils were prepared In the schools. Now America is trying to bring about preparedness without the previous preparation In the public schools. mond, Floyd M.

Pupils should ; William Cottrell of The Meadows be educated in other lines beside the one In which they are engaged, be cause they want to be able to think as well as work. They should be able to enjoy music, poetry and art. Superintendent Briscoe made a few remarks about the doings of the alumni and read something from the "Rogue" about the employment bu reau which was inaugurated. He asked the people to get behind this movement and help the high school all they could. He said not to ask him about the students to watch them and form their own opinions about them. He then gave diplomas to the fol lowing people: Margaret Ames, Ray mond Badger, Meredith Beaver, Myr tle DeCarlo, Helen Dlckerson, Gran ville Dalzell, Helen Eske, Clyde Far- rar, Elbert Farlow, Harold Frohbach, off the handle when anything new Is brought Into the school anything Gerald Gunter, Myra Gunter, Ralph that was not there when they were Harris, Murree Holmes, Ward Ham- spent several days visiting relatives here.
