The commencement exercises at Freedom
Academy, June 9th, were among the most
successful in the history of the institution,
despite the unfavorable weather, which
prevented the intended ball game with AL

man or woman is the immediate Jewei OF
their souls" jeanette Stephenson.

Jack "a dull boy" Thomas W. Williams.
What | learned at Freedom-"1t is good
to live and learn" Herbert Rankin.
The best class of the best school in the
State-"Thy modesty's 4 candle to thy
merit Fred Rankin
Days of yore-"Ne wear face of JOY be-
cause we have been glad of yore." }. W.
Libby.
These were followed by informal toasts
and short speeches.
The exercises were held in the church,
which was appropriately and elaborateiy
decorated in the class colors, orange and
black Streamers of bunting and evergreen
depended from the chandelier, while the
back of the stage was a beautiful mass of
flowers. The program was as follows

all true patriots have been forced to realize one
great and very ugly truth. Our country IS menaced
by unceasing and untrlng ennity. Wherever
we have turned, we have met with its influence,
whatever schemes for legitimate expansion our
Kaiser and his great counsellOrs may have framed,
