Graduate IN IDAHO.
Two Sons OF MIR. and Mrs. III. III. =.
RCwell, CT Lewiston, Idaho
Graduate With HonOrs
From High school.

We received d copy of the Lewis
ton Morning Tribune with a write
up of the high school graduation
exercises Mr.. and Mrs. Rowell's two
sons graduated and received the fol-
lowing very complimentary write-up.
Mrs. Rowell will be remembered as
Miss Emily Rudolph, daughter of
the late Mr.. and Mrs. Chas. Rudolph
of DEBORAH:
THE salutatory, by Paul Rowell,
was very pleasing, we'll delivered
invitation to the exercises. He gave
some comment upon the class motto
which is, BE what you seem to be, -
and expressed the views of the class
upon that theme 1t was a very
worthy production and the delivery
ranked him high as public speaker.
The valedictory by Ralph Rowell,
who was voted first honors of the
class, showed careful thought and
preparation and was, indeed, credit
to the school as well as the class. He
spoke of the outlook of the boy or
girl who has had the high school
training; compared the advantages
with those who are unframed; and
called attention to the fact that the
man who could make a business sue
cess fifty years ago could not do sc
today with the same training, but
| that as the competition increased, op-
lportunity has also increased and the
young people of today have a broad
er field for activity than the world
has ever offered before. He express
| sed the thanks of the class to the
community, board of education ant
! faculty for the opportunities they
have had and for the high standard
of school they have maintained. In
his parting injunctions to the class
he appealed to them to be earnest
in all endeayors, unsullied in honor
true in every way and always remem
bering that the vision leads; ambi
ton drives; but determination wins.
Paul Rowell who gave the saluta
tory, and Ralph Rowell, valedicto
rian, are sons of Mr. and Mrs. H. Fl
S. Rowell, of Lewiston Orchards, anC
