 Mission

| Yesterday went by like any other ! day for most folk but the thirty 1 first of May, nineteen hundred and i twelve will go down in high school i history as q day to be remembered. i For with the going of that day the ! class of 1912 passed into history.
 Al 7:30 the crowd began to pour | through the doors of the new audi 1 torium and by 8:l0 almost every seat had been taken At exactly 1915 the doors were thrown open to everybody and the mad rush of the { ticketless ones who had awaited this moment almost carried the ushers off i their feet
 When the people were all seated the orchestra played softly and d dig nified procession Of seniors and speakers moved down the central aisle toward the stage. As soon as all had taken their places behind the footlghts Bishop Atwood pronounced 1 the invocation.
 Then in 9 few words Professor | Stabler paid tribute to the class Of ] 1912 He explained that the saluta torian was elected by the popular | Npl' 'i HIS NlstooIIldl'S, anu AllftN bAI' valedictorian vas the student who 1 had made the highest general aver age in scholarship. Finally he gave | honorable mention to Charles Orme, who is by the vote of the faculty the best all around student that ever graduated from the high school. A pleasing cornet solo followed and Vinton Hammels then delivered the 1 salutatory on the subject of Public Fairgrounds" The movement to pro vide chldrcn's playgrounds is a na- tional movement to meet q national need. Provision for the establish ment of such playgrounds has been made in the new Phoenix charter These and many other important points were emphasized by Mir. Ham mels in his clear and forccful ad- dress.
 Miss Grace Morden. the valedic- torian, took as her subject "Prin- ciple and Determination" She as well as the salutatorian was heard distinctly in every corner of the auditorium. She portrayed determin- ation as the path that leads to the worthy goal of principle The con- trast drawn between principled and unprnciplcd characters was partic- lularly strong. It is q notable fact that both the valedict0ran and salu- tatorian paid tribute to Judge Ben B. Lindsay as q man of the highest type
