board of trustees, the members of the
faculty, the graduating class and the
students arranged according to their
class years, formed at the west door
from the main building and then march
ed to the auditorium. On their march
they sang songs and so enhanced still

the occasion.
Over the platform was the class

Evergreens and flowers were taste
fully arranged about the platform
and when the school chorus, with the
board of trustees and the members Of

platform, the scene was indeed one
of beauty. The members of the grad

inspiring and uplifting and it was
one of those addresses which have to
be heard in order to be thoroughly
appreciated. A synopsis or even a
short sketch could not give the faint

was analytical and profound and car
ried the nearer up and up to the
highest heights of the blessings and

IF YOU WERE BUSY.

II you were busy being kind,
Before you knew it you would find
You'd soon forget TO think twas true
That someone was unkind to you.
If you were busy being glad,
And cheering people who are sad,
Although your heart might ache bit
You'd soon forget to notice it.
If you were busy being good,
And doing just the best you could,
You'd not have time to blame some
man
Who's doing just the best he can.
II you were busy being true
To what you know you ought to do,
You'd be so busy you'd forget
The bunders of the folks you've met
If you were busy being right,
You'd find yourself too busy, quite,
To criticise your neighbor long
Because he's busy being wrong.

he has in his last three games Jake

closes having turned the former

but Callahan thought he might be of as
siStance- to the ChicagOans, who were
hard pressed for slabmen.
The Improvement in CicOtte since
changing his uniform has been marked
especially in the last few games. In
the last p innings CicOtte has allowed
only II hits, for total of three runs.
An odd case was made against a rail-

Macon brought suit against the South
