The Class Grumbler, Mr.. Will Brun-
ner, of Greggsville, w. Va. had much
to say of the trials and tribulations OF
the class Of 81, especially OF the strict
ness of the faculty in looking after
their social relations, but ended with
the acknowledgment that he now
saw it was all for the best.
The class will was read by Miss Mag
gle S. Lawton, whose numerous be-
quests TO the various members of the
faculty. the class, and members OF the
school, many of them seemingly so APP
propriate, caused much merriment
in the audience.
The class prophecies, Miss Alice
Simmons, of Roney's Point, gave in
humorous vein the probable, or rather
improbable future of the various mem
bers of her class and marked her as
Young lady originality and decided
ability in wo I'd painting through the
imagination.
The address of the President, Mr..
II. Flemming, of Webster, W. Va,
was an earnest appeal 10 the class from
one of its most studious and cner-
getic members, whose future is likely to
bring honor to the school.
The class valedictorian, Mr.. Herbert
Dunlap, in well worded address to the
class. the teachers, the school and the
citizens, closed the exercises, which
were among the best of the kind in the
school history.
LAST EVENING.
Monday night Chapel Hall was pack
ed to listen to a lecture, The Politics
of the Gospels" by Prof. Wiley, Of the
West Virginia University.
He spoke of the prevalent opinion re-
garding the law, moral and social
status Of the average politician, and
showed that the true politician was the
true leader both among men and
women. We are all politicians. You
may call me what you please, but |
boldly assert that the four gospels fur
nsh the best political platform found
among men.
The lecture abounded throughout with
brilliant thought, sparkling wit and
the most genial humor, and was rare
treat to perhaps as critical an audience
as can be collected in the State.
SABBATH EXERCISES.
On Sabbath the chapel hall was
crowded to listen to the baccalaureate
sermon by Preside nt Mclean of Beth
any College, who took for his subject,
Mark 1926 to 40, dwelling particularly |
on the lines 'But to sit on my right
hand and on my left hand is not mine to
give; but it shall be given to them
for whom it is prepared" He called |
particular attention to the humanity OF
Jesus, the work OF his life and his !
manner of going about doing good, and |
for this he was exalted above men. The |
law never fails that who soever abasheth |
himself shall be exalted. He spoke OF |
Livingston's work for the benighted OF |
of Africa, by which he |
obtained 6 resting place among
highlands greatest in Westminster
He followed with an earnest appeal to
the class to seek for the chief places in
life not the accumulation OF wealth,
but through deeds OF benefit to human
ity. and earnestly urged upon them the
necessity Of life of labor, showing
them through the example OF the car
penter shop of Nazareth: thot toll with
hand as well as brain was not above the
Masters mission among men. He closed
with an appeal to them not to neglect
the place of all chief places in the land
beyond.
