Miss Mabel Milligan, IN treating
her subject, "Upheavals," spoke of
the upheavals of nature. The for
nation of mountains and valleys were
the result of upheavals. Among men
were upheavals in the form of wars,
etc. Into each life came upheavals
There are joys and sorrows, pain and
pleasure, disappointments and hopes
realized. But God knows best, and
into HIS care and keeping we commit
ourselves and all will be well.
Arthur Sloan's subject, "Climate
as Affecting a National Growth"
was ably treated. He spoke of the
effects of heat and cold upon indi-
viduals, and after we'll made argu-
ments showed that temperate eli
mate had the best effect upon a ma.
tion. Neither too much heat or cold
produced good effect not only upon
the individual but upon the people /
as whole.
Miss Marie Olney treated the sub
ject, "Success Through Failure"
Life is made up of series of sue.
ceSses aud failures. Meeting with
failure, we are spurred on to more
earnestness and determination, and
we are made stronger thereby and in
consequence thereof success is ours
in the next attempt. Failures should
not discourage. Success is sure to
those who persevere,
AT the close of her essay, Miss
Olney, in few well chosen words,
addressed the audience, her teachers
and classmates. Thanking the audi 1
ence for their interest and encourag-
ment and the teachers for their ef-
forts and patience and the the lessons =
they have taught, she turned to her 7
classmates and, after reviewing the ]
past, spoke admonishingly and en-.
couragingly of the future, and babe
them fond farewell and God speed
Classmates. swift the hours have fed,
And the moments vanished fast;
Soft the touch and light the tread
OF the time that hurrIes past,
Bidding MS no longer stay -
Mid the joys 1t bears away. .
In the happy days gone by
Side by side our paths have been;
Henceforih they diverging lie,
NevermOre to meet again.
Bright the future to our eyes I
Who can tell its mysteriesI
Yet the happy soug shall here !
Rise as e'er at eventime;
But our voices. classmates dear,
In the strains no more shall chime;
Others here our place shall fill
viii our memories linger still?
Their sweet counsels who in love t
Taught us wlsdOm's precious lore,
Led our hearts to look above, 4
We shall hear them here no more.
In our hearts they still remain, /
Though the past come not again.
Farewell, classmates, fare-ye-wel. J
Midst the kindness and the love
We no longer here may dwell;
May we each one meet above, .
There the chorus glad to swell,
Where there comes no fare-ye-well. J
