ALFRED Toy IRELAND
gave the Valedictory 1.-THE Man For
the Crisis" a noble effort. He said in
part:
Wehave but to revert to the pages
Of history to see that the men who
risen at the critical periods in the
worlds history have been men fully
men who have fitted them
selves for the issue not by sitting idly |
waiting for the great things OF this
world to come to them. But men who |
haye energetically grappled and over
come the lesser problems OF life, and /
when the opportunity came stood forth
prepared as the man for the crisis.
We do not know at what moment we
nay be called upon to meet crisis, to
De sure it may be one of which the
world will never hear and one that will
lever make us famous but ii may make
great change in our life IL we fail to
meet it.
There is tide in the affairs of men
Which, taken at the flood leads on to fortune,
omitted all the voyage OF their life
$ bound in shadows and in miseries"
Every man has at least one opportu-
Iity to succeed. Somewhere In the
'attle OF life God gives every man
nance to wear the victor's crown and
tand among heroes.
The discerning man sees this crisis,
urns it to his advantage and advances
D the realization of his hope and aim.
'hese opportunities come to us often :
nexpectedly but with irresistible
over to make or mar our future. II [

we are prepared to grasp the opportu-
mites; we can see these decisive crisis
of life and turn TO our account the ad-
vantages they offer. II we have
schooled ourselves to think clearly and
quickly and to reason the correct con-
! clusion; If our actions are such that
they can be guided by certain truelaws
and principles, then when the crisis
comes it cannot take us by surprise for
we are ready for the issue.
Dear Classmates: Our high school
days are ended the old bell, which has
summoned US so often, has called US to
duty for the last time. But ere we say
long farewell let us pause and dwell
for moment on the past. Our first
school days seem like half forgotten
dream, but those of the last few years
will remain forever indelibly stamped
upon our memories. Here our charac-
tiers have been moulded and it is here
that we have been made TO feel the inn
portance of living not merely existing.
Lessons from text books may be for
gotten but those life lessons will ever
remain with us guiding our footsteps
over this earth path till it is lost in
the heavenly plains of glory. But /
need not dwell upon this theme the
usual hackneyed platitudes concerning
the great problem OF life are already
familiar to every one, the echoes lin
ger in every mind. We would fain |
linger here but the words we might |
utter are too sacred The solemn |
thought that this may be the last time
our dear old class shall meet unbroken,
chills and awes every heart. Forget
ting as we do all the heart wounds OF
class rivalry, let us bear away from
this place the precious casket of our
own strong, true love.
Comrades, FAREWELL God be with
each and every one and if our next
meeting be in the great Hereafter may
an unclouded path of glorious labor,
toll and triumph lead back amid and
beyond the scenes OF times life to this
time and this spot where now we say,

teen members which are in the senior
class.
And L turned to see the voice that
spake with me, and being turned, |
saw ball of fire like unto the earth.
and far above the ball were sixteen
brilliant stars, whose shining was like
unto great light. And the voice
said unto me, write the things which
thou hast seen, and the things that
are, and the things that shall be here
after.
The mystery of the ball of fire and
the sixteen shining stars, being inter-
preted is as follows: The ball of fire
is the earth and the inhabitants there
of, and the sixteen brilliant stars are
the members of the class of Nineteen
Hundred.
Then followed a prophetic forecast
OF the future state of each member OF
the class and it is needless to say it
was listened to with great interest and
caused much amusement among the
members and their friends.

George r. Evans, formerly a barber
OF Lamberts Point, near Norfolk, and
later at lrvington, in Lancaster county,
who three years ago went sto Nome,
Alaska, has returned. He says that he
met with many hardships, and his hair

and possesses four claims for which he
was offered $4,000. He says that

A little over three years ago Evans
came to this town to set up a barber
shop. He purchased an outfit from W.

adjoining the CITIZEN Office, He was
an indolent and apparently trifing
fellow, and within short time Mr..
Mills had TO eject him and sell his outfit
to recover the purchase money. Evans
soon left Iryington and nothing was
heard of him until the newspapers OF
