The address of the evening was
made by Dean William G. Hale of the
University of Oregon Law School.
As might be expected. Mr. Hale spoke
from the legal standpoint. His theme
dealt largely with the duties of cit
izenship. He pointed out that we
have a real obligation to perform
public service and that the country
and state have a right to call upon us
for the performance of this obli
gation. He stated that if one ex
pects to enjoy the rights of citizen
ship. one must expect to perform his
obligations. Hi8 address was a strong
appeal for law observance and com
ing at thlsAime when there has been
; so much of law breaking, it was a
¡most timely theme.
Next came the presentation of
diplomas by principal E. H. Ross to
the class of forty-six students, who
have just completed the four year’s

members of the class are as follows:
