down on the school activities of
nine of our young people only to be

The four years they have just fin­

partially prepared them for their
future work in life.
Tiny have
taken as their class motto “ With
the ropes of the past we will ring
the bells of the future,” hut some-
times the ropes of the past may no*
hold and if that time should come
to any of these young people mav
they have the clear vision and the
courago to take the right step.
Dr. D. V. Poling will deliver lit •
address tomorrow night. Music,
awards, the presentation of di
plomas and the presenting of the
flowers makes up the evening's p r -
