Forty-five students received dipln-
mas at the annual graduating exer-
, Ses of the North Yakima High
school which were held in the aud e
torium of the High schoai building
last night.
The program was pronounced the
best that has ever MAJ kad the de-
parture of a graduating class and it's
various numbers. which were rend
cred by the musical, literary and edu-
cational organizations of the school,
were better tribute to the work that
has been done by both outgoing pu-
pills and those VIII, will remain to
bear future standards than columns
of empty praise.
The address was delivered to the
departing class by Hon. l.. O. Meigs
and in an eloquent speech he I'M
pressed upon the graduates the i'm
portance of their four years training
in high school and pointed out to
them the many hardships and pitfalls
they will encounter in the life strug-
gle they will now have TO face.
Should Aspire High.
He emphasized the fact that the
mere question of a livelihood is not
at stake but that every well educated
young man or young woman Of to-
day should aspire to ideals which
may be attained only through the eX-
ercisc of aggressiveness, hard work
and perseverance. He said that the
ideal is rarely found in any walk o.
life and that even in the highest pri-
waite or public positions there must
be behind the occupant a force OF
VIII and energy which may not be
EXPRESSED in terms of good fortune
or even natural equipment. He
cited the fact that many of the great
est characters in history attained
their prominence after ceaseless eGfor
and unconquerable stamina.
