rons and friends of the school in a few
well chosen words. The history of the
school brought forth it's continued pro-
gresslve spirit. In her essay. Pixies
Peak" verltable Garden of Eden" was
pictured. Nature, not content with Law
lshIng its wonders upon its surface, had
| hidden treasure III the caves which rival
ed all description. No wonder then that
the Indians had named it "Manitou's
(the Great Spirits Garden" A rare op-
portunity was thus presented for choice
in the use of language.

ance of power was preserved and relIg-
ious federation was secured.

Annie Oberland's essay, Blessings in
| Disguise" partook of the nature of an eX-
PLANTATION of physiological facts. All
tl.,l
| wise provision TO keep the health in
tact. Perseverance when enforced bring
many a murmur of discomfort: ambition.

William Menge showed in his Grafton
'Some African Pearls" the honor that the
negroes are entitled to. Born as slaves
maltreated and uneducated, they by their
own untiring efforts have won positions
second to none.
Clara Paulus in the essay, "a Promise
Hid Away" traced the future Of the

entire earth with its zones was gathered

The essay on Friendship" was one
which but incorporated our actions when
properly ordered. The virtues of homes
ty and helpfulness form the foundation
of true friendship. Circumstances will
always clearly bring forth the false as
all falsely colored things are recognized
But the true friendship will cause saclI-
fees in cases of necessity and will cause
pleasure in successes: for as the German
proverb says:-"Getheilte Freude dop-
palte Freade, Getheiter Schmerz. halber
SchmerZ."
