MEMORIAL DAY
Friday is Memorial day.
This day had its birth as a day of commemoration
of the heroic dead who gave their lives in the service of
their nation in the great Civil War.
It was a military
event and for the past few decades the spirit of Memorial
Dav has developed and expanded until it is no longer ob
served as a day of homage to military dead.
It is a
day when everyone in our great nation bows his head
in reverence and devotion to the departed loved ones. On
this occasion we stop in the mad spasm of life for a
moment to consider the past—to bear a few minutes with
the loved ones who have passed on to that unexplored
realm beyond the grave.
It surely is a pleasant, tho sad day to anticipate. It
brings back to many the thoughts of the happy days spent
at the knee of a departed mother or father, the splendid
hours spent with a dear friend or brother.
In ones
thoughts they live again and lend their best efforts in
making our own lives more helpful and beautiful.
It is not the fact that those who have passed on are
dead, that causes us to bear our burdens of flowers to
place upon their graves. The incentive is born of senti
ment. We have loved the ones for whom we mourn this
day. We have enjoyed their companionship, their cares
ses, their tender nursing or their loving guidance and
as a result we want to do them homage. We place upon
their tomb a wreath which is our way of expressing our
gratitude to them. If it were not for that sentiment what
a hollow, meaningless event this day would be.

GRADUATION
This is the time of graduation in the schools of a great
part of our state. It is during this month that our high
schools turn out it quota of young men and women with
an academic education. They have reached a turning
point in their lives. They have come to their commence
ment. The graduate will now prepare for higher education
or will go out into the marts of the world and from them
endeavor to achieve success in some chosen undertaking.
At any rate the home ties will undoubtedly be severed.. The
tender parental hand will gradually loosen its grip and
the world at large will take a firmer hold. Fond parents
have taught the lessons they had to teach. They have
tenderly reared the young man or woman from infancy to
the age of the adult and are now pleased to offer their
child unto the world. W hat a mixed feeling of joy and
grief must be intermingled in the heart of each parent who
witnesses the graduation — joy that they have successfully
brought their child to their present state and helped
them to avoid the many pitfalls which present themselves
to the immature minds of the young folks and grief in the
thoughts that it will be but a short time now until that
same child will be traveling down their own avenues of
life independent of parental guiding hands.
And so life runs. Each year brings its new crop of
graduates and each year sees the closing of many useful
careers. Life’s great cycle is so magnificent that when
one halts to ponder it he is almost overwhelmed.
