can raise for pretty cards to sep d
to relatives and friends. 1t If, q
day looked forward to for months
and years. It is also q proud dayf
for parents, and they do every
thing toyplease the child, proud as
the child steps before the audience
And it seems the Principal should
do his utmost to make it proud
day, always to be remembered.
Prof. Gehman did and tears came
to his eyes, to the scholars eyes,
as those farewell words were spo-
ken by the Valedictorlan, and the
audience and scholars were proud
of their Professor. And the grad
yates sat there surrounded by beau
