 "Welcome Address," an original essay, Rose Hungerford:
 To the Parents, Kind Friends and Pupils: most cordial welcome, and wish to ex- press our gratitude for the interest you have taken in coming to witness, the closing exercises of our school year. Certainly there is nothing more en- couraging tO the pupils than to know that their parents and friends feel an l interest in their advancement. Many other schools and colleges are closing round about us during this month of. June, and many are leaving their school days and commencing their worldly careers. It is our earnest desire that some day our town of Sherman will provide us with High school that we may right here in our own town receive the qualifications necessary to one that wishes to receive 8 more use tul education. Even now we can look back upon those who received their early training in this little town and who now are prominent men and women, some whom you may all have seen or heard at our recent Centennial. This gives us good reason to believe that their number may in time be add ed to, as the advantages of the past

Risk

4
Is not life made up Of risks? The
Bible says that the road to life
everlasting is straight and narrow,
but that many are called and few
are chosen. We all take the risk
of not being among the few.
l read the other day of the
pleasure of eating. I never looked
at it in that light before: it has
always seemed to me an unavoida-
BILE evil, like sleep. Now, IN eat
ing, one risks choking to death
with each bite. Is it worth it?
Why, I read once Of a, butcher
who choked to death on one of his
own beefsteaks.
I have worked in what the timid
would call risky places, but there
was no real risk. If we had some
thing to rest on, Pendennis and [
could paint the horns of the new
moon and enjoy the work. I
helped to paint the old Brooklyn
bridge, with but fve-eighths rope
and a short inch board between
me and the river below; and hun
dreds Of people stood and gaped
and wondered at the risk we were
taking. It was no risk. The rope
was strong, and the board was
soft, and the view was fine. Some
times we had little diversion, as
when we dropped paint on the
nice white decks of ship passing
beneath, and listened to the mate
offer up his prayers. One day a
Russian barque with three gilded
trucks passed under. q suppose
I must explain to you lubbers that
the first landing on the mast is the
"top," the next above is the 'cross-
trees" and the very tiptop IS the
struck" with the gilded ball on it. }
The ball can be taken off the truck !;
so [ reached down and took one. [
had ample time to replace 1t, but
the Rusky began to blather at me,
and when I looked for the mast it
was out of my reach. So I let the
ball drop on the deck. When it
struck it looked Like the ostrich
egg the elephant had tried to
hatch. We painted and amused
ourselves, and the rubber-necks on
the bridge talked all day long
about the risk we were taking.
And so it was with the man and
his balloon and parachute the
other day. He can truly say,
"What fools these mortals be to be
putting kinks in their necks look
ing at my balloon" He ran no
risk to speak of. He wanted mon
ey, and chose nice cool way to
get it.
But on the contrary, those un-
fortunate young men who, stand
ing as they thought in perfect
safety on the bridge down town,
were not in what you would call a
risky place at all. Yet two Of
them we're swept TO instant death,
and the third may be a cripple for
life. (God forbid!)
So I have reached the conclusion
that everything we do is risky. I
am even taking risk in writing
this: it may be chucked into the
wastebasket. [ hope not, however,
as [ like to see my thoughts
60 out the gate on a one-horse
wagon. It's the next thing to 60
ing myself.
