But at the most, it will be only one of many such ocenssious, which enjoyable as thev seem, at the. time, leave but flectinc impressions.

"To those, too. whooan look back upon similar occasions in their own lives, it means a area t deal.

In bis address, the subject of which was "Adjustments to Success,!' lit paid tribute to beautiful nnd tranquil southern Oregon and the Kogue Hivpr valley, in "comparison with the crowded condition nnd turmoil of the large eastern cities. He. appeared in a new light as ou orator in Medford. showing his won derful versatility as a public speaker. His remarks were filled wilb practical common' sense advico, and were more tbe n shire of a confidential coo- vcrsat:onul talk to graduates and audience, here and there punctuulm! with bits of the eloquence and ora tory for. which he. is nuted. lie didn't preach or moralize just staled common sense facts based on wide experience and personal obser vations. , Prof. .Vining's general theme throughout was the adjustments of life to insure success and content ment. "Don't be discontented." he said. "Avoid the zone of discontent. Adjust yourselves to ' Your environ ments, and if vou cannot do this then change your environments." Tic ad vised young people to enter into the world without the mud of prejudice elin&ing to them., and if thev entered college to not let the broader eduva. tion and accumulation of world cen turies of knowledge, to destroy their individual view point.. A violin solo, "Kcrcnuta, was then rendered bv Miss liutb Campbell, one of. the graduates, who responded to au oncore.' This was followed bv the presentation' of the graduating class by William Davenport, superintendent of the Medford schools. . ... Diplomas Presented ' .Dr. E. '(!.: Kiddell, president of the board of education,-.then , presented the diplomas, and each member of the class was applauded as he or she came to the front. Now came the event which the graduates and other high school pu pils were greatly interested, the pre sentation of the honor cups bv. O. it. Campbell, the principal of the high school, with these words: Awaitltnt; Honor Clips "Friends of our high school and class of 19'20. It is with a keen sense of pleasure that I havo the special privilege of awarding the honors at this commencement. 1 have hen closely associated with the members of this class for the pa-st year and during that tunc have become orv much attached to them, having learn ed their different traits of character. their ambitions and some of their dis appointments. The class of 1C20 is a strong class. ' The members are tbi. kind which wc are glad to commend to Ihc confidence of the public, us they enter different lines of work in our community. ' ,'. "In everv class, however, wc find Indents who, by their own' effort, stand, out above the majority of tl.c class and it is to these students thut we have at this time. the pleasure of awurding special honors. "The class of 1918 left to our high school this beautiful cup which is In be awarded each year for schoiar ship. The student who completes the work required by the state of Ore gun and our board of education with the highest average is to receive this honor, so it is with pleasure that I award to MJss Jean l.ooinis the Vali- dictorian of the class of 1920 this honor cup. "We hae also two cups which were given us by the class of 1919. One a cup for girls and one for bovs These cups nre to be. awarded each commencement to the students who have made the greatest success, ol their high school career. The suc cess to be measured by four things. character, scholarship, student activ. itv and general good fellowship. "The election of the two students for these honors is given to the high school fncultv and tbe student body. The faculty make the nominations and the students elect from these the hoy and girl to receive the cups. This year the girl selected for the honor is Miss Beth Clark.

Next came the valedictory addrcs.; by Miss Jean l.oomis, the honor pupil of the class, who said: The Valedictory Address "There is something peculiarly fascinating- about remincsccnccs. whether our own or those of others. They seem to have in them a trace of the magic that belongs to fairvland.

' ' "Everyone-has these little memory. chests. Just now., ours are almost brimful with, all the things we have to remember, but gradually, as time goes on, these will become sifted and rearranged, like rose leaves that shrink and wither, but never lose their haunting fragrance. Through this process thev leave roo tnfor the many more which will he placed in our memory chests in lime to come. "All of onr memories are different, for such things arc always intensely persona l---and vet thev arc all alike. Thev arc fH'kc in their idea, which is centered arouiid -out school: thev are alike in their quality of happiness, for school-days, so' folks say who must know arc the happiest ones in a person's whole life.

To vou we owe tbe credit for the op portunities given us during our vears here: to vou wc owe the successful completion of our high school course.

"This is. no doubt, the last t;mc that the' floss wilh ever be together as a class. -We mnv have other mcct'ngs or reunions, but probably never with the fnH nuotn present. On this, the occasion of our graduation from high school and our commence ment of a new field of endeavor, we wish to take furewcll of our feliow pupils, our teachers, our friends, aid our dear old school. Somehow, I think we nil grew fonder and more fond of the place the nenrer the time drew for us to leave it. As for the others, we appreciate what thev have done for us, even though we may not always show it. . "On behalf ofihe Senior class of 1920. I wish to take a Inst farewell of our high school, and) to thank von H our friends from the bottom -,( mv heart." The benediction was announced bv Rev. Wm. B.
