COMM ENJOYMENT.

June is commencement month, Pc
riod to be remembered by those who
have toiled long for prizes they have
earned. To a multitude Of men or
women the commencement season recalls
as many pleasant associations as any in
life. The young men and women Of to-
day differ only in their surroundings
from their fathers and mothers a score
or two Of years ago Then, as now, com
mencement was a breaking up of old
associations. 1t was a launching out
into a new life Of independent man.
hood and womanhood. Then, as now,
the fields to be occupied stretched
away. to the boundless horizon, all
promising the richest harvest.
Ifthe gray.headed alumni should
be called to give their experience, it
might possibly dampen ardor the Of
the Younger members. as they might
recount some Of the many unfulflled
dreams. But The Inter Ocean would
not give place to croaker at such a
time. 1t loves to see the imagination
Of the young light up with a golden
glow as it looks out upon the wears to
come.
After all, life is much as the owner
makes it. As rule its comforts aud
best ambitions and substantial bar
