ton, we wish to thank you for the aid
you have given US in completing this
course satisfactorily.
''Teachers: To whom the task of
lnstructing US has been intrusted, we
feel that we owe you great debt
wnlcn we are unable to pay. We feel
very grateful for the interest you have
taken in US and for the many hours
you nave spent in our behalf. For
this we will always honor you, and
as we have learned to love you and
count you as our true friends, we will
always look back on this period With
pleasure. But, as teachers, we must
bid you farewell, for as such we shall
never meet you after tonight.
"Dear Classmates: Our school
days in Princeton are over. The
senior ship of '09 has reached the dock
and we must each go our way alone.
Our trial term is finished and we must
go out in life in earnest tomorrow,
men and women. We have had a
pleasant journey together, and I am
sure we Will never regret the days we
have spent here. Although our ways
may be different, may we all have the
same aim-to live true and noble
lives"

short but most able address then

hind us some of the most pleasant
recollections of our lives-pleasures
never to be lived again, but which
shall live forever in the vaulted re-
cesses of our memory.
sOur school life up to this time has
been as book which we have read,
one page each day, and today we have
reached the last page; tonight we will
have finished the story and we will
close the volume to be read never
more, but each page to be lovingly
reviewed again and again in memory.
In after years midst the work and
worry of life some scene of this book
will come unbidden back to our
thoughts and we will, for the time,
turn our back on the world and it's
cares and live again in the memory of
the pleasures of our school days.
''It is with feeling of sadness, and
yet with a sense of triumph that we
are able to appear before you tonight.
When we entered high school we
thought of this as the goal of our am
bition, as the one aim for which we
were striving. But as we have neared
the goal We have seen that this is not
all we have been seeking to attain.
During our four years of high school
work we have learned to think and, in
a measure, to live. We have acquired

The atmosphere of the class has
also had a great influence over US, as
the very air we have breathed has had
the essence of loyalty, faithfulness and
progressiveness. We have been
united band, all striving with the
same purposes and aims in view, al
though perhaps taken from diff
ferent standpoint. Here the stronger
ones have aided the weaker ones to
overcome their petty faults, and we
have all learned to place the proper
estimate on values and differentials
between the gold and the dross.
"From the books we have learned
not only what Julius Caeser did for
civilization, or when America was
discovered, but by these studies our
minds have been developed. In the
efforts expended on preparation of
daily assignments we have learned to
reason and think for ourselves, and
by so doing, have gained self re-
lance.
1--WE recognize that this opportunity
for self development has been made
possible by you, parents, for without,
your efforts, self-denials and sacri-
ices, we would not have been able to
enjoy these privileges which we are
sure viii! help us to live better and
nobler lives.

were shorter than those of last in con-
sequence Of the fact that some of the
functions were given upon previous
dates. Thus the program was CON-
pleted in a triflle less time than an
hour and half, and the innovation
appeared to be appreciated. Notwith-
standing the curtailment the program
was an excellent one-every number
was enjoyed. The principal feature
was the address of Rev. Gillies of the
Hennepin Methodist church, Mime
apolis, whom the school board was
fortunate in securing for the occasion.
Hereunder is given synopsis of the
program in it's order of presentation:
A song, "Fairyland Waltz" by the
chorus, opened the exercises. This
was a delightful composition rendered
in fine manner.
Rev. W. b. Koenig, pastor of the
Princeton German Methodist church,
then invoked the divine blessing, and
he was followed by Miss Emma Taylor
with the salutatory address. AL
though short, this Grafton was of a
high order and Miss Taylor demon
strated considerable evolutionary
ability in it's rendition. Her delivery
was clear and she showed no signs
whatever of nervousness, as is often
the case in young lady's first at
tempt at a public address. She re-
ceived much deserved applause. The
salutatory:
''In behalf of the members of the
class of 1909 I wish to welcome you
here tonight. We are grati6ed that
so many have recognized the impor-
lance of this evening to US and have
shown their respect to the class by
their presence.
"We feel tonight, perhaps, some-
what as a voyager does who, standing
on the shore of the land which has
been his home for so many years,
until every scene has grown dear to
him and, fond memories cling to every
spot, gazes dimly across the misty
ocean on which he is to sail and
strains his eyes, vainly seeking to
pierce the unknown that he may dis
cover the port and the end of his
journey. Tonight We are leaving be-

Carolina, at Kitty Hawks, before the flyer was subjected to the gase of the public.
 lin the light of the record breaking events of the last few days, it is evident that the prelim- nary tests are making definite progress. The Wright brothers say their engine is still not do- ing all that it will do later. But Orville had already broken the record of one-half the world for heavier than-air navigation, leaving the rec ord for the other half snug in the hands of his older brother. But better than that, Orville has improved his own performances, which is the ideal of all ideals.
 The Wright brothers are not ready yet to say when they will start their official tests. But their past achievements should win for them a generous measure of appreciation, which the public can show best by taking as logical and sensible view of them as they have taken of their work. And we are frank to say we be- lieve the Wright brothers will go farther, not only in the atmosphere which surrounds the world, but in the achievements which surround the men upon it.

Translated by Mdude Marie.

Verify, veriy, my daughter babe in the cradle is an astute and cautious being beside a man in love.
 Behold, as wo-year-old layeth with the scissors and cutteth off his own hair to see it fall, as boy stirreth up snake in the road to make 1t hiss, so a grown man ques- tioneth woman to see what she will do and then howleth when she doth it.
 To! there be three questions which shall become familiar unto thine ears; for every lover shall inquire of thee as follows:
 Hast thou ever kissed others in this way!
 Who taught thee what thou knowest of loveg
 Why didst thou choose me from out of the bunchg
 Yet charge thee, tell him no lies, neither pretend to be indignant. Rather, pat his cheek jestingy and mock him, crying:
 ''Yea, kiss them all as have just kissed thee, and no man cometh near me that do not yearn to run my fingers through his hair.
 ''Yet this maketh me sorrowful for | know that thou hast never kissed another woman SO
 'Behold, I have learned the art of love HldkilS DI cOHSIdHt pIdcllce, SulillHeI anu winter, from dawn until midnight, and really it seemeth a shame to take advantage of thine inexperience.
 ''Yet, To, l choose thee from among all the rest because thou vert the only one who would have me.
 Then shall he rejoice and be reassured Yea, he shall laugh with thee, believing thee not-even though thou hast peradventure told him the complete truth.
 Verify, verify, seek not to deceive any man; for this is an unnecessary eXertiOn, seeing that each of them preferreth a sweet lie to the bitter truth from the lips of wo man and yearneth only for chance to de- ceive himself Selah!
