"Parents, Teachers, and Friends:
We wish to bid voil a very heavtr
welcome to our comuienccmcnt exer
cises. To von,' tonight may be a very
pleasant occasion: we will try to
make it so. 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 us. it is a wonderful occasion,
marking the end of u period in our
lives, certain to be dear in our memo
rics 'forever. ,
V'To those of vou who have a per
sonal interest in us as tho bovs and
6rw Voir have seen crow up, it, ot
course, means, far, more than to the
chance micst to whom wo appear en
tire strnnecrs.
"To those, too. whooan look back
upon similar occasions in their own
lives, it means a area t deal. It ro
minds them of their hopes and aims at
that 'time, nnd arouses in them a
deeper' sympathy ' and understanding
of what we are thinking and feeling,
as we begin these exercises tonight.

'To' our parents and rclothe-4 ii is
a time of pride and affection, and
probably to them-it has the uiost me

is a time of partial iov in the thought
of the success an du'.'complishmcnt of
our tusks, and of partial regret over
the necessary arting. Thus, we timi
very much depends upou tbe pcrsuunl

'As for us this is the end of a dis
tinct period in our lives. It has been
bv far the most important wc have
vet experienced, and will undoubtedly
exert a profound influence upon our

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

said. "Avoid the zone of discontent.
Adjust yourselves to ' Your environ

change your environments." Tic ad

The Valedictory Address
"There is something peculiarly

They seem to have in them a trace of
the magic that belongs to fairvland.

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,

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

in other things, loo, hut the biggest, re
semblance of all, and the one of which
I want lo speak in particular, is t'.it
one of gratitude. '

"This deep undercurrent in all our
thoughts is directed toward vou
the friends-, the patrons of our school.
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.
One's gratitude is always hard to. ex
press, but at anv rate, it is a vciv
real thing.. and I hope .vou all can
feel its wide extent through our
thoughts tonight.
"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
