Last week II was an anticipation.
Now and for all time it is one of
the memories. Another Commence
ment has come and gone.
And what shall we say of it? No
thing. That would be an injustice to
IL. II is better to let 1t speak for it.

the record it stamped upon the clean
wax cylinder of the day as It rolled
by.
And all over the record is stamp
ed the word interest" 1t was said
by many that the crowds were not
quite so large as on some former
years but that was possibly accounted
for by the rain that fell about the
time when many would have start

first impression was that all he had
ever heard about the lack of interest
in education on the part of Ken

possible to see such numbers brought
together for the purpose Of seeing n
Jew young men and young women

But the stranger was soon undece.s v

College. They exhibited themselves.
Oh, no. They didn't do any thing
bad. They just preferred to enjoy
themselves in their own way. The
merry go-round was more attractive
than any demonstration by the class
es in nursing, carpentry or home
science, and the strains OF the nd

been somewhat lessened by the odor
of frying fish and the sight of the
spatting and swarming flies, We're
much more musical to some ears

Most of the crowd? 1t is easy TO

luts itself to the front-really does
exhibit itself. The other side is less
ostentatious, wants its worth to adj

enough and discriminating enough TO
observe that the better things rivet-

all those who could appreciate real
values. And their numbers ran mp

at Boone Tavern on the afternoon
of June Ia when Miss Ruth Putnam

charming bridesmaid and lastly, with
queenly dignity, the lovely bride.
The brides gown was of cream
liberty satin trimmed in silk Irish
crochet. She wore bridal veil Of
white tulle arranged with white

The tabernacle had its crowds, not
for one hour, but for all day. That
was interests supreme test. They
were present to see the demonstra-
tons, to hear the speeches of the
graduates, to see the Bibles and di-
plomas presented and to hear the
great addresses of DIR. Conrad and DR..
johnson in the afternoon. They en-
phasized their interest b. repeated
and vigorous applause and they car
ried to their homes as a priceless
memento of the day-an inspiration!
Their lives should be more in tune
With higher things; their children
should some day stand before a taber-
racle audience, dedicated by the
good bye" and God bless you" of
the president to noble walk in life.
