Turning Points" by Miss Mary An
drews was another excellent paper.
There comes to every NJ moment to
decide the turning poi1lo # his life, a
time which carries the future before it.
1t was the turning point when the little
girl asked her father not to trouble her
mother when he was drinking-a turn
ing point when the student leaves school
for the university, and a turning point
when the man leaves the university for
the world. These are our turning
points. A time in the affairs of men
which taken at hoodtide leads on to
fame and to fortune. I"
Miss Marry Burrus, one of Mr.. Own
by's most accomplished pianists, rem
dered 'Valse de Concert" to the pleas
ure of the audience.
Air Castles Made Real" was the
subject of Miss Leila Reeves paper.
The young girl building air castles is
not an uncommon occupation, and
the boy thinks of great achievements.
Reduce the air castles to a reality and
great inventions can be done. Would
we have had any of these but for the
building OF air castles. Air castles
gave us Franklin and Fulton and Morse
and Edison. Every aim and effort put
forth every day towards the reality of
air castles brings us nearer the approach
of the goal A man forms in his mind
a great purpose that governs his life and
actions, and it expands in proportion to
the concentration of the mind upon the
subject. Who is not friend to the
fearless man and who does not admire
his genius. Stand by your own princi-
Piles and others will come to your aid.
Opportunity" Youth should take
hold of every opportunity, no matter
how small, prescribes Miss. Nellie Dircks
in valuable paper If small opportu-
mites are thrown away greater ones will
will be. We should look at others for
examples. Which of the two is the
better off, the man who embraces or
the one who wastes his opportunities
The bright side of life is with the youth.
Is it necessary for him to work all the
time without pleasure. No, but oppor-
tunities should not be neglected TAX
ing hold of opportunities may give
others clearer idea also of the value of
these things.
Mental Attitude" was the subject
of an address by Will Andrew Kerlin.
Our mental attitude is the result of |
thought and belief. 1t is therefore inn
portant that the thoughts be turned in
the right direction and the chiseling be
done with care. The influence of men
tai attitude brings its results. When
we see others striving for the goal we
also would achieve. Diligent care and
practice may completely change the
course of life, bringing new brain cells
into action by the mental attitude, and
your neighbor may catch the impress
sion by your example. The influence
If enthusiasm on mental attitude is of
he greatest importance and it's value
cannot be overestimated.
"Trihes" was the subject of the vale
lictory by Miss Ruth Isaacs, and this
vas one Of the best papers of the even
ng. Nothing so small that it may not
produce great things. Little sunbeams
ire true symbols of holy life. Little
BOOKS are most read; little words are
most used. From the slightest causes
pring the grandest results. The APP
,lication of the sail led to circumnav-
CATION and circumnavigation to the law
If gravitation. The application of steam
o the engine saved an immensely of
oower and made the world neighbour
lood. So in school life and in the
aily lessons. Miss Isaacs then adj
ressed her associates and the teachers
kind farewell, wishing them much of
fe's joys and blessings.
Superintendent Mute, returning his
banks to the class, appropriately re-
1arked, By their fruits you shall
now them" He was glad to say that

'ance without examination to Wander
