CARNET'r SPEAKS
II TO GRADUATES
| In l,n
Garnett said that the graduation of
| Dut l"u pupils from the possible 1900
| VINO mad started with the class four
years ago, was I'm the nature OF the
survival of the fit;cst. There are sew
! eral reasons which make this true he
said. and named them as being
incredibly, environment and the will
| power of the pupil himself. He went
on 10 show that in the graduation of
inc pupils before him was shown that
they possessed the necessary Will
| power to pursue an ideal, and that they
also had within them the ability to
| picture an ideal worth attainment
| These characteristics are essential
| 10 the success of any one, he said, and
| IL is those who possess them who be-
come the successful men and women
| OF the world. who are altruistic in
their views and who exercise their
| rights as citizens in an EFFORT TO OBJ
tain better government. and, there
fore. the Improvement OF their fellow
| men.
| Principal James C. Harwood called
| attention ~ the many honors which
| former highNschool pupils have recent
| iy attained in various sections of the
| country. He said that DR.. II. Lee Nc
| Balm. OF the class OF 1896. has just
