High School,
Gen. E. M. Pope was called upon as
one of the visiting members of the G
A. r. and made few very appropri-
ate remarks. He said he thought it
a happy idea that upon this occasion
the boys of 81 and the boys and girls
of '92 should meet, and drew lesson
from the event. In referring to the
fact that Columbus did not discover
the North American continent, he
said that if he had and the discovery
had been folio we'd by it's settlement by
the Latin races, with the attendant
history that had followed the South
American countries, we had occasion
to thank God that it was left to the
Anglo-SaXon race to first sight its
shores.
DR.. Jacoby followed with few re-
marks congratulating the school upon
the manner in which it had observed
the day, and said that while we speak
of the granduer of the country and
feel at times as though it had reached
the topmost round in that which
could be accomplished, the young
should remember that there was much
to be discovered, which fact shonld
thoroughly impress upon them that
precious moments should not be vast
ed. He also wished to emphasize the
the fact that while they were emf Oy
ing the fruits of peace, the day might
come when they would be called upon
to defend the flag.
