The final destruction, which was
caused by the offspring of the god
OF fire, is sublime and beautiful.
Unlike the Greek, the Morse re-
allied. that there must some time be
an end to. the conflict between con-
1lcting elements. To this final con-
tlict came good and evil, and fire
from the, south, and the world sank
into the Oceans eternal depths, and
in the end all was desolation, as in
the, beginning, and shall be until
the' glorious resurrection of all
things good.

Valedictory.
WILLIAM G. GREEN.
Gentlemen of the Board of Educa-
tion:
1t becomes the sad duty of this
class, over whom you have watched
for the past four years, to bid you
this evening a last farewell. We
do not think that you will lose all
interest in us, but we must go from
out your immediate supervision.
We are fully conscious that all the
benefits which we have enioyed
have been obtained for US by your
kindness, and though it may be our
lot to separate and go into every
part of the earth, never will we for
get your kind and watchful care
over US.
Beloved teachers and principal of
the Warren High School:
The time has come when we must
leave you. You have been given
the task of building the foundation
for higher education and instilling
into our youthful minds those prin-:
ciples which shall leave their i'm
preston as long as it is given us to
traverse the journey of life.
How well you have performed
this task, time alone can tell, but
let us hope that the deed has been
as good as the intention. We will
have many teachers in the time to
come, yet l am confident, that never
will we have any on whom we may
rely as thoroughly and confde in
as much as we have in you. We can
not hope to always be remembered
by you, but your words and teach
} ings will never depart from our
minds. Again, Farewell.
The world is continually advanc-
ing in every way and most of all in
education. Therefore, we have no
doubt, students, that better
} opportunities will be given you for
making your way over the sea of life.
: Whether or not you improve these,
? remains with you. To those who
will next year take up the High
School work I wish to say, that
, although you may not realize its
Importance, and, at times may feel
sorely tempted sto let it go, it is an
t opportunity, which once passed by
, can never be ed'Eagain. Sc
persevere, climb up, and should
you, perchance, slip in climbing,
? remember that the greatest glory
consists not in never falling, but
rising every time you fall.
Fellow-classmates of the class o1
: 1903! we have at length arrived al
that turn of the road where we
must separate; at least, for the time
, being.
We have been bound together by
a tie, more firm than that of friend.
, ship, one which death alone car
break asunder, and notwithstand-
t ing the fact that there may have
! been petty rivalries, they have
! lasted but for the moment, and have
| Iserved only to make the bond of af
: fection more firm. There are many
