The auditorium Of the high school
was crowded TO capacity Wednesday
evening when the commencement ex-
eFcises or the class or 1915 OF the
MishaWaka high school took place.
Much Interest was taken in the pro-
Ceedings. which were somewhat Of the
nature OF a big society event. Many
Of the representative families OF the
city were present and each number
on the program Xas listened 10 with
an appreciation which plainly showed
the interest taken in education by the
local citizens.
After Rev. ID. ID. Spangler had Of

given by the orchestra, rendered with
exquisite taste, ID. W. Horton, princi-

INTOXICATING CHARGE

1t has developed that Stanley Nc
IntOsh of this city, reported in press
ing been arrested there for operating
an automobile while under the influ-
ence of intoXicants, was not arrested
on the latter charge but simply for
violation of the traffic ordinance.
The occurrence is said to have been
trivial. and resulted from confusion
i'm an extremely crowded street.
There is absolutely no foundation for
the report circulated as to Mr.. McIn-
tosh being inebriated at the time of
the occurrence. Mr.. Mcintosh has in
his possession the facts of the whole
affair which completely eXOnerates
him from the charges made.

receive the benefits of education which
they had not been so fortunate in haV-
ing. The world was beginning to APP
preciate the fact that a scholar is
marked man, hence this enthusiasm
for education. The ignorant man was
under a heavy handicap and not in 1t
with his more fortunate fellow. The
goth century days were more wonder
full than the rabian nights. The
forces was something to marvel over.
Education, said the speaker, contrib
uted 70 man helping find himself. The
successful man had found himself:
the other had not. Mans first task
should be towards this goal. The
school and college helped him to it.
To the graduating class the speaker
said that their high school had started
them on their way but they must now
find themselves: they must learn how
to use their tools. That culture was
good for culture sake was only half
truth. If education be of the right
type il will undoubtedly prepare men
and women for the more effective du-
ties Of the worlds work IL made
men and women better fitted for work
even il be rough work. While educa-
ton will not save from hard work, it
will make men more efficient II has
an economic value. Men without ii
were a bad Investment They cost
more. II was not safe to go into any
enterprise unless you first consulted
the man who knows The speaker
combatted the idea that the chief
value of learning is in increasing ones
power TO make money. Shame on
them who make such a statement"
declared Pres't Grose, eff that is their
highest aim Of education"

Personal character had much ado
with personal efficiency. Character
was a great asset He spoke of the
great virtue in being able TO converse
intelIigently with all kinds Of people.
There was kinship and cOmradeship
with great minds. He said that the
highest use of education is the con-
tribution which it makes towards man
achieving success, and in conclusion
referred 20 the tragedy of the unde-
veloped life.
The high school chorus, under the
leadership of Miss Jeanne Terry, rem
dered a couple of pieces with much
RECESSION and sweet harmony
Miss Helen Lang, a young lady Of
sweet and prepossessing presence. de-
livered the valedictOry and in her ex-
tempOre remarks created a marked
impression on the audience. In the
course of the valedctory Miss Lang
said:
CAS- a class, our high school life is
over. We stand on the threshold of
a new existence; behind us we leave
our school days and all their joyful
associations; ahead we see a wider
view opening, wider because of the
experiences to be obtained through
further education or by contact with
the great workaday world.

we have conquered many obstacles
