At the close Of the musical pro.
gramme the Junior class gave its
annual reception. All present seemed
thoroughly to enjoy both features of
the evening and the fatal bell sounded
much too soon.

On Sunday, May "a, at the Baptist
charch was delivered the baccalau.
reate sermon. Rev. w. L, Tucker
of Kansas City was the speaker of

Sheepcote and made thee a ruler"
The speaker said that most of us
are glad If we can make one full note
10 the gamut of life. Many of us
are half aud quarter notes scattered
along the bars and staff Of human
existence:j the rest Of US beat time

and your ear as well trained as it

nation itself, the embodiment of its
qualities, the incarnation of its spirit
and the type of its destiny. He was its
priest, knight-errant, prophet and
king.
Like his nation, be was born to a pas
