Owing to the absence of Mr.. Denis,

plomas to the graduating class. In
brief he spoke as follows:
''This is an important event in the
lives of the young people who graduate
this evening. 1t is also an important
event in the history of Forsyth. This
being the first class to graduate from
our high school, the members of the
class may be looked upon AS
pioneers who have had many Difficult.
ties to overcome which will not fall to
the lot OF those who follow the trail
blazed out by them. These difficulties
overcome may be considered to "A GER
tain extent as a test of character, and
the ability to overcome difficulties and
solve the problems of life successfully
whether gained in the common school.
the college, the university or in practi-
cal life is one Of the evidences of an
education. But hope this community
will not look upon the members of this
class as having finished thei: educa-
ton. 1t is true YOU should make GER
tain demands Of those who graduate
from your high school. Their influence
should be felt in this community and
we hope and trust that you shall never
have an occasion to regret the invest
ment you have made in giving to these
young people privileges and advant-.
ages not enjoyed by many others.'
"Class of 1908. I stand before you
TOR the last time in the relation that
has existed between us during the
past four years. This is an occasion
OF mingled pleasure and sorrow.
There is pleasure in the thought that
you have reached successfully the goal
toward which YOU have been advanc-
ing during the years of your school
life. There is sorrow in the thought
that the pleasant relation existing be-
tween us for the past four years must
now be severed. There is regret in the
thought that perhaps we have not done
all things wisely and we'll. Your
presence here this evening is evidence
that you have cone faithfully and sue
cessfully the work your hands and
minds have found to do, that you have
been faithful in the trust placed upon
you. l hope that this is only the first
mile stone in the race oflife and that you
may successfully pass many others.
In closing let me ask you to hold before
you ever the ideal of life of honesty,
and faithfulness to duty and
remember that all things come to those
who labor and wait. Labor omnia
vincit.'

/ now present to each of you a
diploma, duly signed and sealed, and
Oestow upon you all the honors, rights
and privileges here or elsewhere ap.
to the same. And God
grant that you may ever increase in
wisdom ard virtue -
