place of this size that has furnished
more students for the University of
Boulder than Idaho Springs. Num-
erous graduates are residing here, and
are sufficiently strong numerically
to have Colorado Association which
is also open to undergraduates. Among
those who will graduate from the
University with degree of B. A. are
Miss Eunice Thompson and Herman
Weinberger. H. l.. Ireland will also
graduate with the degree of B. s.
Carl Knoettge who graduated with tie

course IN civil engineering. There
are two other students there, Miss
Helen Roberts of the class of '09 and
Miss Margaret Lyon class 10, John
Galligan, a graduate from the High
School last year. is attending the
School of Mines class of 'l2. The

the higher educational institutions of
the state.

TheBacalaureate sermon to the gradu-
ating class was delivered by DR.. Barton
o. Aylesworth, President of the State
Agricultural college, at the M. E.
Church. Sunday evening, May %.
His address was listened to with
marked interest and was a refutation
of the idea that opportunity only
comes once and if grasped leads to sue
cess; if not grasped it never returns.
He asserted that opportunities come re-
peatedly to all. He laid particular
stress on the environment of the young
from seven years on up and cited the
surroundings of Lincoln as q contrast.
He spoke of the limited amount of in
formation for which Lincoln could draw
in securing an education. He had only
four books from which to study. The
Life of Washington, from which he
gained patriotism, a Digest of the
laws of Indiana, which was the founda-
ton of his legal training, the book of
Books from which he gained wisdom
and principle and the Arabian Nights,
from which his imaginative faculties
were developed. The doctor portrayed
in beautiful and forcible language, the
different phases of Lincoln's life from
boyhood to his closing days. The sew
eral ministers of the town participated
in the services which were presided
over by Rev. r. r. Adams, Pastor.

'08 thus formally welcoming them as
future members of the association.

indulge to their entire qualification.

The Close ofsehool

There is = pathetic as well as hu-
merous side to the closing days Of
school life. 1t is q pleasure to look
back over the many pleasant associa-
tions, to review the many incidents
that contribute to the veal of a class,
individually and collectively, to note
the successes that have been made as
well as recitation failures and to recall
the times when the teachers patience
have been sorely tried. But when
those who are about to step forth from
the high school room into varied life's
work, meet for the last time in an un-
broken body, then comes the time forth
of retrospection and contemplation. In
the midst of happiness there comes in
to mind feelings of sadness when one
schoolmates meet together for no one
can forsee what changes will take place
even within year. And no doubt the
members of 'O8 in their contemplative
moments, as they met at the gymnas-
ium on Tuesday night to take part in
the program, looked around in deep
meditation and wondered when shall
we all meet again." That each one
performed his or her part nobly was
expected for the class is made up of
those who ''do things" The following

G. A. R. Post, No. 80, attended divine
services at the M. E. church on May
"a, and listened to a specially prepared
sermon by the Rev. R. R. Adams, from
the text, "Call to remembrance the
former days in which ye endured II
great fight of affection and What
means these stones" He called atten-
ton to the fact that there is danger
lest we forget" He emphasized the
truth that the Iittleness and sadness of
the past should be forgotten and that
we should remember the inheritance
acquired. He spoke tenderly and i'm
pressively of the white marble slabs in
National cemeteries marked unknown"
characterizing them as foundation
stones cernented in blood on which the.
republic is built, emblems of immortal
ity. Each year there are more graves
to be decorated as the ranks are being
thinned annually. These stones are re-
minders of buildings yet to be reared.
The foundations are laid, greater
destiny awaits the republic. 1t be-
hooves the present and the coming gen.
erations to see that the Republic suf-
fers no harm. The services closed

The commencement exercises of the
class Of '08 has passed into history. and
the members thereof have turned their
faces to the future. What this may
have in store for them will depend upon
their industry, faithfulness, decorum,
courteous demeanor, well directed
energy and loyalty to duties and obli-
cations reposed on them. The evening
of Nav 9th marks an important epoch
in their lives. By receiving diploma.
a certifcation of something accom-
plished, duty persevered in and per-
formed has been given. In the life of a
young man or woman, there is nothing
in which he or she should take more
pride than that some one thing has
been begun, carried through and sue
cessfuliy terminated and while it is
hoped that this may only be a begin
ming of successful achievements, yet if
it should be the only one, there should
be self-congratulation over this fact.

house and an immense assemblage of
citizens greeted the fifteen graduates

thoughts.
The boys quartette appeared at an
excellent advantage and their rendering
of song was enjoyed by the hundreds
Of hearers. Professor Potter, in few
well-timed and appropriate remarks,
then presented the graduating class,
after which Royal R. Graham, presi-
dent Of the school board, presented the
diplomas. He referred in kind terms
to the success that had attended each
in their advancement, complimented
them on the attainment of the goal Of
public school life, and also on their
ability as students and started them
out into active life with kind words of
encouragement. The exercises closed
with benedictlon by Rev. e. E. Jones,
after which the graduates were extend
ed congratulations by their many
friends.
