into the Future in Order to Make
the Greatest Success of Life.

! the annual commencement exercises of
| the Kenosha High school on Friday
might. The Sweet Girl Graduate
was in evidence on the platform as in
other years, buG the members of the
class took no part in the annual exer-
cises beyond receiving their diplomas
and the old custom of having a pro-
gram offered by members of the class
was set aside and instead of the stereo-
typed program, the commencement
crowd which filed the Rhode Opera
House almost to its capacity listened
to very interesting address by Prof.
r. L. Lyman of the University of Wis
consin.
With the passing Of the old fashioned
program went also the old fashioned
plan of having flowers for the graduates
and while many people welcomed the in
novation, it was evident that many Of
the proud parents and friends of the
graduates found something of the old
enthusiasm lacking in the closing pro-
gram of the schools.
The music for the evening was fur
nished by the High school chorus under
the direction of Miss Cameron, direc-
tor of music in che schools, and Miss
Cameron also sang charmingly during
the evening.
The address of Prof. Lyman was on
theIsubpect " Youth s Greatest Vision. "
It was one Of those familiar talks at
some times homely, which appeal to
the young, and in his talk of more than
an hour, Prof. Lyman gave many help
full suggestions to the students. The ad-
dress was an inspiration for better
and higher life for The students and
it contained many suggestions of value
fortthe parents. In his address Mr.. Ly-
man spoke of the Importance of the
young man and the young woman hav-
ing definite aim in life and he insisted
that the greatest vision of youth was
the picture of the time when the man
takes the place of the boy and the WON
an the place of the girl.
He made strong appeal for the stu
dents to recognize the dignity of labor,

any success in life was for the man and
woman to establish himself as a high
grade workman, he urged the necessity
of real refinement as one of the first
elements of successful career and
urged that the young man and woman
who would succeed seek to develope
character as the very keystone or his or
her private life. He emphasized the
necessity of service to fellow man as
one Of the greatest attributes of success
Youths greatest vision, he declared,
was to see the path of work, work
with modesty, with honesty toward
self and fellow man and with the view
Of rendering to the world the greatest
possible service.
The program of the evening opened
with an invocation by the Rev. Newton
Mann and the speaker was introduced
by Mrs. Mary D. Bradford, superin-
tendent of the schools.
At the close of the address the
