To think without confusion, clear ly: To love one's fellow men, sincere iy; To act from honest motives, pure ly; To trust In Ood and Heaven, se curely." From these four sentences, which be termed the "standard of achieve- ment," Dr. Bruce R. Baxter, president of Willamette university, developed hla address to 307 graduating seniors and a capacity auditorium at the eoth annual commencement exercises of Medford senior high school Friday night. It was the largest graduating clasa In Medford school history. Dr. Baxter, making his second con secutive commencement address to a Medford high school graduating class, took each one of those sentences and, with humorous and serious snecdotes, told the clasa and the huge audience why he believed they represented the standard by which students ahould Judge their achievement during their lifetime. - He drew a parellel betweon the sinking of the Battleship Maine, which started the Spanish-American war because Americans, at that time, "didn't think without confusion, clearly," and the recent bombing of the Pansy, after which Americans "though clearly enough to keep the country from war with Japan.". "It will be a tragedy for thts class to graduate from high school and en ter college without a full knowledge and understanding of economics," Dr. Baxter said. "We must think clearly, understand clearly the tax ation problem, the gold standard and what effects the many complex eco nomic development will have upon our Uvea." Dr. Baxter warned the young men and women to "love one's fellow men, sincerely;" not to set up barriers to either race or creed nor to persons who might not have obtained the ex cellent training they have. He em phasized that every nationality has at least one characteristic that oth ers might do well by copying. He advised the class to "never let down nor to forget to act from hon est motives, purely." He told a atory of an aviator who, with the airliner's landing gear ripped away, stayed with hla ship and brought It to crash land ing which, fortunately wasn't serious. Instead of balling out in the air and leaving a doaen passengers to their certain death. Dr. Baxter stated that the flier acted from honest motives, and claimed that "balling out" was - simpiy not done In those circles." Addressing the class directly, the college president stated that "Immor alities were simply not known In cer tain circles." and emphasised sgaln "act from honest motives, purely." "The man who la too busy to serve his religion and hla community la TOO biuiy," Dr. Baxter stated, In bringing hla address to a close with the last sentence, "to trust In Ood snd Heaven, purely." B. H. Hedrlck, city school superin tendent. Introduced Dr. Baxter to the class and audience. Following the address, c. a. Smith, high school principal, announced that Muriel stocks had been named the outstanding senior girl, and William Holloway the outstanding senior boy.
