Pilgrimage OF infancy" One Of the
prettiest of them 10 the dreamy little

to recite the charming poem In the dain-

Edna Foy with muted strings played an

licious "Wiegenlied."
| Again there was music. this time a
chorus. Away to the Fields" sung by
the class, and it was followed by an
address by Prof. Thomas n. Bacon, who
occupies the chair of modern history in
the University of California at Berke-
ley.
Prof. Bacon. with a witty greeting to
the class and audience, proceeded di-
rectly to his subject, which was the ex-
PLANTATION of the advantages of higher
education and it's influences on national
life. The public school system has be-
come a national institution. 1t is no
longer local and it has extended through
all grades from the lowest to the highest.
The lower grades are a necessity to
state as a means of its own preserva-
ton; but when the state makes free
gift of the higher branches Of educa-
tiOh thAOdSh tHN hiSA SShoOA o"N
through college, how is the state justi
fed? What hope have they of good in
such a policy? No state in the Union
has committed itself more than Califor-
mia to this experiment. and the hope is
in fair way of being fulfilled.
From high schools ard universities are
gradua,eu men and women who are
powers for good, centers of moral and

Those thus committed with the gift of
free education will make for a nobler,

higher, wiser patriotism that will save
the nation. from every possibls danger
that may be before it. Patriotism is
one of the noblest virtues susceptible to
the human heart. Family affection
binds the family into a social unit;
state affection develops public spirit;
national affection means patriotism, and
Prof. Bacon closed an address that was
not long, but was full of practical ideas,
with a few words of congratulation and
counsel to the class.
He cautioned them that the main
spring of action with them must be not
TO die for their country, but live for 1t;
to watch local and national affairs; to
remember that their education was a
gift of priceless value if used rightly, a
course if used wrongly; that 1t
was a trust put in, their hands to be used
toward the development of wider
wiser, more splendid patriotism in the
broad land; to direct the minds and
hearts of those who had not had their
advantages in the way of trust and
wisdom
Following the rendition of a pretty
waltz by the orchestra, Principal w. II
Housh announced that as Dr. Mathis
was present Superintendent Foshay
would award the diplomas. Mr. Housh
stated that the class of '97 was the
largest that has ever been graduated
from the Los Angeles high school, but
that size was not their only merit. They
have written their names with those OF
the highest and with the words, Re
member that every worthy act of yours
will SHE'D luster upon your alma mater,
he presented the class to Mr. Foshay
who congratulated the graduates
warned them that the world would ask
not What books have you studied?'
but what can you do?" and made
formal presentation of the hardly wor
sheepskins.
The exercises of the evening CLOSED
with the singing of the class song, the
words of which were written by Carrie
Belle Stanton, and 1t was sung to th'
airs of Fair Harvard" and "Auld Lang
Syne" The words were as follows:
Dear friends, we greet you with hearts
that are light,
And brimmng with glorious glee
For our fetters have fallen our shackle

And at last we are happy and free.

fowers-f1owers galore, in clusters, and
in baskets, every color and shade and

ant event.
About s:15 the high school orchestra,
led by Miss Edna Foy, played a spirited
number, and the curtain was rung up.
Charles L. Boynton, whose theme was
the "Civlcs of the Aeneid," was the first
speaker. and in brief, he said:
Through literature we learn of the
life and government of peoples. From
Virgils Aeneid we gain the following
ideas of the government of the ancient
Greeks: There are four distinct civic
relations, namely-family to father. fol-
lower 70 commander, people to kings
and queens, mankind in general to the
gods. These relations are all simple and
direct. The will of the parent is alb
solute; followers disobey commanders
on penalty of death; kings and queens
deal directly with the people, and in
their sphere have absolute control, while
all are governed by the gods, the great
overruling power For good reasons but
little is said of these relations, yet they
are clearly indicated in Virgils great
epic"
Miss Alice Hanley took for her sub
ject "Shall We Begin at the Masters?'
and the skeleton oil which was built a
thoughtful and we'll digested treatise,
follows: The value Of poetry in the
world of literature is its power over the
heart, it's sway over the emotions. \
study of poetry is essentially a heart
study. BY it we are inspired with noble
thoughts and lofty ideals, enabled to
look az nature with more apprecative
eyes, and are more truly fitted for life
In our study we do we'll to begin with
the earliest of the great poets with Chau-
Ger, with Shakespeare and with Milton.
The poems of the bard, of Avon need
no encomilms. Everyone loves Shake
speare. From Chaucer we learn the
charm of simplicity and directness. In
his works we find beautiful and distinct
pictures of men and women that can be
surpassed by no writer of prose or verse
Milton's poems abound in lofty precepte
and sublime truths which make him
seem truly an insDired pOet study
of these three great masters prepares
our minds and fits us, as it were, with
touchstones with which to try the works

by the orchestra. Miss Charlotte Teals
spoke. Miss Teale had worked up he,
theme in the form of a legend, and a
particularly clever story 1t was. Its
title was, .'Senor Whose Tongue Speaks
Lies, Legend Of Death Valley" and
the idea was this: Fernando Lopez was
a soldier in Father serra's expedition.
He happened to be the only man in th4
expedition wearing a diamond. and was
therefore regarded as a magician by the
Indians, who had never seen diamonds
before and who thought that this strange
stone was imprisoned sunbeams. One
Of the tribe was very anxious to dis
cover the magic by which they supposed
the sunbeams were captured. So they
sent Tehama. an Indian girl skilled in
magic, to the mission to find out the
secret. 1t CHANGED that she wore many
gold ornaments. She met Fernando at
the mission, and as he was as anxious
to find gold as she was to know the Sc
cret, they soon entered into an agree
ment in which she promised to show
him where to find gold If he. would
teach her the magic secret. He agreed,
although he kne wthere was no secret.
So she took him to beautiful oasis ir
in the desert where there was stream
containing nuggets of pure gold. When
they were almost ready to leave the
oasis she demanded the secret, and he,
of course, had to confess that there was
no secret, and that he had treacherously
deceived her. In her anger and desire
for revenge she used her magic powers,
and turned the oasis into what is now
known as Death valley, while Fernando
himself was turned into stunted cac-
tus, doomed to grow there forever. She
turned herself into mirage of cool
water, ever beyond the reach of Fer

| Christopher G. Ruess followed Miss
Teale and gave an Grafton upon Man,
| the Poet" of which he said in part:
Poetry is the grandest dream and the
greatest reality of life, but our busy and
practical age confounds its body with its
soul Let us think of it, however, not as
a few paltry lines, but as the love of the
beautiful in the soul of man. All re-
ligion and all mythology are born of
the poet in man; poetry is also essential
ly connected with a nations life. The
poet stirs up the love of liberty and in
spires the warrior, and the lyrics of war
remain the inspiration of peace; to this
source are traceabe the epics of the
nations. Eden was poet-land, and the
healthy youth is a day-dreamer, poet
lost in revery. We must have aircastles
before we can have stone castles. The
boy and girl love nature and dwell ir
the cloudland of fancy; when they leave
| behind them the poetry of youth we cal
them old Poetry does not belong to the
cultured few it is often found where
least we expect it. There is poetry
everywhere. Pleasure is only the appre-
citation of the poetry of things and sue
cess is but to see uoetry and
beauty in ones work. Nor ie
poetry declining Our nation 5
| flag and song are poetry, and as truly a
part of our patriotism as loyalty to the
constitution. While the beauties of ma
ture keep alive in our breasts the sacred
fire of poetry, our souls shall still find
expression for the beautiful within us
in what we are pleased to call the high
est products of civilization, the fine arts,
and. while the divine dwells in the
human, we shall have with us still Man
the Poet.
The last but by no means the least
interesting and delightful Of the class
speakers, was Miss Susie Barnwell. The
theme she chose was "A Trio of Child
Lovers" and interspersed through her
discourse were quotations illustrative
of the points made. Misc Barnwell said:
Child study is the most fascinating Of
modern studies and is receiving much
time and thought from the scientists and
| philosophers. The three poets who un-
derstand the wee folks best are Robert
Louis Stevenson, Rudyard Kipling and
Eugene Field. Instead of following
Wordsworth's plan OF telling how the
world looks to a child, they allow the
child to tell his own story. Stevenson
poems are never ending revelations OF
childhood trust, Two of the best are

him into the heart of nature and fasci'
mates them with his jungle Book" ir
which are many pretty little poems, es-
pecially pretty is the Lullaby of tht
mother seal. Field was the most init
mate of the three with children. He
had troops of them for friends and
wrote his poems directly under thei,
suggestion and inspiration. His poems
have been wisely called "the Canterbury
