school; next Friday we are to become

to do his part well It would throw dis credit on all. You may think that when you step out of this school with your diploma all connections with this institution are severed they are not, and what is more, they never will be. Your record as a student has been made and registered and no matter what you do, you are graduate of this school. It now remains for you to make your record as one of the Alum nj, be credit to your school what ever you do, do we'll; be somebody. 'The Alumni association was orga- nized in 1894 by the aid of E. l.. Stor- ment. the idea being to perpetuate the friendship of the graduates and to for ward the interests of education.
 'sThe Alumni owes several duties to
 the school First, they should be an inspiration to its students by their ex- ample; secondly, they should take a great interest in the progress of the school and they should be protection to the school"
 He then dwelt at length on discuss ing the many ways of promoting the interests of the school.
 Under the last head, the Alumni should be a protection to the school. By it's work it should keep the stand ard of the school raised to it's highest. It should protect the school from sighting remarks by outsiders, and under all circumstances be it's true friend Remember that you carry the burden of the success of this school upon your shoulders when you go out to teach. If this class should make failure as body of teachers, this school would be condemned.
 There is another thing for which to
 look out Keep politics out of the school. This is no place for politics.
 This is no political issue. Use what influence you have in the support of the best man, without regard to his party. Our class motto, The Best Is Good Enough fits nicely here; the best and only the best, is good enough to teach in our schools; especially in our normal school.
 "Just because a man is smart and has a pull, as it is usually called, is no reason for putting him in such position; he may be well educated and 8 very intellectual man, but if his head is turned toward politics his en- ergy is all turned in the wrong direc- ton to make a first class instructor.
 Such a place should be filled by man
 who thinks along educational lines,
 who keeps up with the rapid strides of i the reformers, and does not travel along with his head out of sight for | fear it will be cut off by his party boss.
 "Once more, say be credit to your
 school. Whatever you do, do well; be
 somebody
 Two Spirits of Oid," by Misses
 Flora N. Cohn and Una B. Hanna, and
 the class poem by Miss Ethel M. Orme, were class prophecies. 1 The presentation of the memorial by
 Miss Julia E.. Melton was well ac- leomplished. The memorial was bust
 of Columbus.
 The response by H. z. Zuck on be- 1 half of the normal board fitted well into the thought which accompanied
 the memorial.
 The Glass Scrap by Miss Lulu V.
 Gage, and the 'X-Rays" by Miss Eliza beth W. England, were class prophe-
 sies pu- in novel forms.
 1 The mantle oration by Mrs. Ida
 Warren Swiggett was directed to the | junior class and showed the great ! breach in the ability and good quail ties between the seniors and juniors. | The response by J. Garnet Holmes, l '99, in a most effective manner, showed
 the difference to be insignificant. The Glass WilP' by Miss Edith R.
 Abell was very amusing. l William R. Price delivered an ad-
 dress that was well received, and then the time honored custom of burying
 the books was deviated from somewhat
 in that the books were sent up in
 large fire balloon which ascended to-
 ward the heavens, at the close of a very impressive speech by Clyde A.
 Stewart.
 ssThe Old Folks at Home was beau tifully rendered by the quartette, Lulu
 B. Winger, Ethel M. Orme, Elizabeth w England and Una B. Hanna
 "A Threnody," composed by Flor ence A. Mckee, was very pleasing. Tomorrow will be held the joint ex- ercises of the Zetetic, Hesperlan ana Websterian Literary societies on the campus at 7:30 p. m.
