The class of 19031s particularly
fortunate in the selection of its
speaker. Rabbi Wise is one of tho
rising young men of America, al
ready a lender among thinkers and
writers, aod certainly one of the
foremost platlorm orators on tho
Pacific coast.

Twelve members of this class
have had considerable experience
as teachers and a number of them
already hold life diplomas or stata
certificates. Several have been
elected to good positions in graded
schools, while all practically wiil
have their choice of location if'
they are not in too great a hurry
to sign contracts. Last summer"

Spent Sunday at Highland.
Parker Special.
A party of Parker's best repre
sentatives went to Highland Sun
day to attend Childrens' Day ex
ercises. The day was warm, but
with a good supply of umbrellas in
use all succeeded in keeping cool
and ' comfortable, arriving there
early.
The house was beautifully dec
orated with flowers, evergreens and
suitable mottoes for the occasion.
An interesting program was well
rendered which reflects much
credit on the children as well as
those in charge. Those songs and
recitations are sweet to our ears.
We will always cherish Childrens'
Day. May God bless and keep
each one of them.
