TIE cIass prophecy This ~ also
written IN humorous vein. His short
pointed sentences brought 1 laugh At
the expense OF each member OF the
class. There were no brilliant careers
foretold, some of the class being eaten
by cannibals. going skyward on explo-
sions, or dying from hard study. The
paper was very much appreciated by
the audience.
The ynledictory.
The valedictory grafton, Modern
Knighthood," by Miss Catherine Lind
sey Schrader, was one of the best per-
formances Of the evening. She defined
Knghthood as it existed in the medic
val ages. The true essence of Knight
hood, then as now, was not in its form
but in its spirit. Justice. honor, truth,
and respect of womanhood were charac-
teristics of medieval Knighthood, and
he who possesses them to-day is
Tentieth Century Knight Sue then
referred to the arrival of the hour for
saying farewells, and said it inspired
feelings of mingled joy and pain. Her
remarks to her classmates were part;c-
ularly pleasing. When she concluded,
the audience applauded vigorously.
The address to the graduates was de-
livered by Wallman I. Barbe, field
agent of the West Virginia University.
He said it was the poisoning time for
schools as well as flowers. IN the June
time of hope and happiness, the class
ing upon actual life. To graduate from
the high school requires several things.
IL requires brains. 1t requires indus
try and high aims and high ideas. The
class are particularly worthy of honor
because they have higher aims than
those who have fallen away. Tor th 9
reason he felt like making his obeis-
ance to the young ladies and gentle
men.
Mr.. Barbe regretted that there was
no way of giving public recognition to
the parents whose sacrifices make the
Higher Education
of their children possible. In conclud-
ing, he impressed one lesson upon the
class-the necessity of taking joy and
pride in ones work He accentuated
the fact that both 10y" and pride"
were stronger terms than interest"
No great thing was ever done in the
world by Indifferent work. Generally
that joy and pride will have to be cul-
tivated. Not more than one in ten does
that in life which is marked out in his
childish hope and fancy. We cannot al
ways select our work. We are creatures
Of circumstance and environment and
teredity. We must adapt ourselves to
lungs as we find them.
Mr.. Barbe advised the class to do
their WORK well. This will bring about
a love for the work We all have to
work lat something, and there is no JOY
in the world comparable to growth. 1t
is necessary to put the heart into the
pleasure from it.
