Commencement tfl914

High School is now thing OF the
past. The young ladies and
gentlemen who have so persistent
ly pursued the studies IN the
grades from the primary to the
Senior classes have now reaped
their reward by the reception of
their diplomas and go out either
t. attend higher schools of learn
ing or to follow some industrial
and trade pursuit. BY the com-
pletlon of their high school course,
they have the satisfaction of know
ing that they have set a good ex-
ample in successfully accomplish
ing one thing important in life
and which must be pride to them
Wherever they may go or in what
yer they may engage 1t is hoped
this same trait OF accom- plishing
something successful will attend
them. The stick-to-iriveness is
the prime quality in success and
as the graduates have carried it
in their school work, so may they
do the same in whatever they may
- engage.
The commencement exercises
began on Friday, May 29 with
the reception given by the Junior
to the Seniors and it was a very
brilliant and social affair. A ban
qnet interspersed with numerous
toasts and followed by a dance
were some of the interesting fea-
lures of the occasion.
= The Baccalaurea.e address was
given by Rev. G. E. Liston, pas
tor of the Methodist Episcopal
church was crowded even to stand
ing room, and each one was fully
repaid for their attendance as the
parson delivered very practical,
instructive and interesting ad-
dress filled with good thoughts and
advice, which was in substance:
The distinctive feature of chris
tianity is a combination Of faith
and intelligence. In Peters
Epistle we are told to add to our
faith, virtue and to our virtue
knowledge. We must thank God
that we live in age of faith and in
a land of faith. Now we have
gained faith in man, faith in law
and society, faith in the truths of
nature and faith in a God of JUS
tice. But to our faith must be
added virtue and intelligence or
else each one of these faiths may
lead 20 an especial danger. With
out such control, faith in man,
may lead to an easy going toler-
ance which is neither intelligent
or Christian: faith in society, may
induce one to ignore its corrup-
tion and unsounduess. until we
would countenance the excesses
of socialism: .aith in the truths of
nature would lead to scientific
bigotry; even faith in God of
Justice, unsupported by virtue and
intelligence would tend to blind US
to our responsibility in the fight
of life.
You say you have faith in a |
God of Justice, worship him by
practicing Justice: you believe i'll
a God of Love, give love as we'll
as receive it; if you worship God
of battles, with a moral war on be-
tween right and wrong, take your
part with courage and lntelli-
gence.
We need leaders of Faith, Vir-
tue and Intelligence. The
world wants men; large hearted
manly men. Men who shall join
the chorus and prolong the Psalms
of Labor and the Psalm of Love-
Look for the best; hope for the
best: strive for the best. Accord
ing to your faith, open-minded-
ness, willingness and capacity, so
be it. In agreeauce with one OF
Hawthorne's characters in :'Moss.

The graduating exercises OF
the eighth grade was held n the
High School Gymnasium last
Wednesday afternoon the progra m
of which was printed in the pa
per last week. This program was
carried out i'll very highly en-
tertaining style. Those taking part
were those selected from the class
of some "a members and were
assigned their parts on account of
their superior orations that they
had prepared and delivered before
the class prior to their commence
ment.
The com mencement exercises
were held in the Opera House on
Wednesday evening at 8.15.
There was a full house to greet
the graduates and an audience
that should be an inspiration to
all taking part in the exercises.
When the curtain was raised the
members of the class, the board of
education, the superintendent and
Rev. J. Knox Hall were seated
on the platform and received the
hearty applause from the audience
After the rendering nf a very
pretty piano selection in an ar

the graduating address. He Sc
lected for his subject "The Re-

it with very interesting account

common school system in the

A number of young ladies ren
dered a pretty song after which
Superintendent Norris in a few
well chosen words complim entary
of the class aud the work that
had been done by them aud the
teachers presented the Class to the
| President of the Board for the re
ception of their diplomas. He
mentioned the fact that this was
the second largest class that had
graduated from our schools and
the first in which the number Of
young men predominated over the
nun Der Of young ladies.
In presenting the diplomas to
the sixteen graduates, President
E. NJ. Moscript carried out his
ideal of duty, that of being prac-
teal, persevering and upright in
all actions. In addressing the
class he said:

faithfully to accomplish this1 re-

Springs. It also means much to
this great State of Colorado; and
that is not all; 1t means much to
this the Greatest Nation on earth
Then, kind friends, is it not
something to be elated over? For
this class to realize that they may
be prominent factor in the
affairs of government so great as
this of ours? And as we citizens
want them to be 50 prepared that
they may conduct these affairs
with the dignity and qualifications
that they demand. 1t is these
graduates and similar ones that
will dictate the affairs of our NUM-

our county, state and nation and
finally have a prominent part IN
the affairs of this great country of

These qualifications should include
all thatit takes to make a good

should be qualified morally, for
the moral qualifications of a man

MAKE SPECIALITY OF NOISE
Men Constantly Devislng Automobile
Horns That Will Produce New
and Startling Sounds.

1t is strange to think that there are
noise inventors, but, then, the truth
is always strange.
The noise inventors chief task is
the invention Of new noises for auto
mobile horns. An automobile horn
should act like hammer blow on the
head 1t should make the foot pas
senger jump, as a smart hammer blow
would do. 1t should make him look
in a frenzy of terror TO see whence
the noise came, just as he would look
to see who had hit him with the ham
mer. 1t should make him run like
rabbit out of the automobiles way,
even as he would run out Of the way
of the hammer that had struck him.
The automobile horn does all these
things, but it only does them so long
as its sound is new and strange. It's
long, siren-ike vail no longer does
them. Its horrible clank,clank, as of
rusty iron scraping rusty iron, no
longer does them What does them
now is a very powerful, very sudden
honk-honk as of giant blowing a
bass horn. But this new noise like
the others, will soon grow familiar,
and once it is familiar its hammerlike
quality will disappear.
So noise inventors study the squeal
of pigs, the bray of donkeys and the
cry of the seal. They visit boiler fac
tories and sawmills in their search for
ideas. They frequent slaughter houses.
And it Is not enough for them to
find a new noise-they must reproduce
1t In horn. Theirs, indeed, Is no easy
task.
Scientists say that good, efficient
noise, such as the noise inventor turns
out. not only seems to act like a ham
mer blow, but really does SO. 1t ex.
hausts the nerves and the brain. 1t is,
indeed, the chief cause of the terrible
modern malady Of neurasthenia.
Sc the noise inventor, it seems, is
not an unmixed blessing. Neverthe.
less he is here to stay. For withou;
him how can the speeding automobile
list make the foot passenger bench
leap a foot in the air, and then scurry
like the wind out of harms way to the
sidewalk Chicago Record-Herald.
