bind his aim to the talents which he
possesses. This is good reasoning.
He that wavereth is like the sea
TOSSED about. Each one must have
/ an aim in life and follow it. He must
know the world. Our station in life
determines our opportunities. There
is abundant resources in books,
which is not found in exclusive uni
tversity training. IF one takes ad-
vantage of opportunity other ways
are open to him.
Miss Ada Hobble spoke of 'sThe
Golden Now Miss Hobble has elo-
cutionary ability. She spoke dis
tinctly, of the life before us. 1t is
only a commencement. We are
standing on the threshold. Our
school lives is only beginning. The
impression it gives is the living now.
Instead of waiting for great possibil-
| tiles we must improve small ones.
Greater ones follow. Great results
do not come from accident. Bad
luck does not exist It is neglect.
What a multitude of sins are charged
to bad luck. We must more fully
{ appreciate the golden now.
Miss Maude Riney told about
Mornings and Mysteries" and in
them the mysteries of nature. In
our contentment in young life, let us
en- 10y it, before we reach the great
; troubles of life. Determination over
comes difficulties. With good force
of character we will not sink in dis
grace. What is more beautiful than
just like it.
In fine modulated voice Miss Au-
drey Sturgeon rendered a solo.
We have heard what must be done
to gain good life, and now comes
Walter Carson, with his e<Naval
Hero,'' to tell US what was done. His
story of the life of Paul Jones was
good hearing. It was what a deter :
mined boy could do with the oppor-
tunity before him. It is true that OPP
portunity does not come every day,
and maybe not in ones life time, but
the character can be emulated just
the same. Paul Jones' character is
worth considering. He was un-
finching and skillful. He was the
founder of the American navy. His
fame did not detract from those nov
live forever.
teTenacity Factor in Success by
Miss Mary Kesler, was good paper.
The graduates wisely chose the ideas
better suited to their eonditions-th e
building of character. Force of Will
is necessary to all men of genius. We
must master ourselves if we control
ourselves. Constant study stimulates
the mind to higher aspiration. The
type of people who win go about it
! quietly. They have determination
and will. We must do the best with
the lives before us Work is honor,
work is dignity, work is success.
The Ford county farmers and citi-
zens have set good example, who
have staid here during all reverses-
it is a tenacity deserving Of emulation.
Well directed effort is rewarded with
success.
Miss Kesler is the youngest high
school pupil ever graduated, being
under sixteen years of age. Miss
Eleanor Milton, who graduated last
year, is the next youngest. Miss
Kesler has taken all of the Latin
course and a part of the Scientific
course. She was the valeiictorian
| of her class.
e.The Glass Prophesy,'' by Miss
Grace Sturgeon, was an amusing eli
max in character rendition. Miss
Sturgeon dreams she has a home of
luxury in New York, and sees a pic
ture of her school days in Kansas.
She sees Nettie Stubs a Captain IN
the Salvation Army In Chicago,
she saw her in a poke bonnet; with
fine oratorica1 powers she is calling
the wicked to stop their sins. In the
slums. she is singing Sunbeams
