con lights along the shore, who stand erect
and are rot kept erect by others; doing

The valedictory was delivered by Miss
Nellie G. Mendel, and it was regarded as
the most finished performance OF the day.
Asserting that scenery had great influence
upon character, the orator described in
pOetical prose the beautiful surroundings
Of grand old Bethany, and when she bade
adeu TO her fellow students, classmates, the
faculty, trustees and people, the emotional
nature Cf her auditors WAS effectively ap-
pealed to. The valedictorian sat down in
the midst of tremendous applause. Mrs.
Ridge sang, responded TO an enthusiastic
encore, there was music by the orchestra,
and then President WoOlery addressed the
class and the audience. He declared that
