Graduates from Coyington High School Receive Diplomas
and Acqt Themselves With Credit at Graduating Exercises

:, In introducing Prot. Nicholas
Bauer, OF the City Schools, New Or
LEANS, Supt. Lyon said that Coving.
] ton High School had been addressed
/ by some Of the best educators Of the
State at it's commencement exer-
cises, and he was pleased, and con.
| sidered that he was especially for
4tunate, at this time, when there
/ was such a great demand for orators
ON these occasions, in securing such
a man as Prof. Bauer to address the
graduates and the people.
Prof. Bauer is pleasing talker,
and brought considerable humor In
to his instructive and entertaining
address. His advice to the graduates
was to specialize and become profici-
ent in some one thing. That the old
days when a man might do many
things fairly we'll and find his SER
vices in demand we're gone. Superb
ority in some one calling was the
only road to success. To attain this
meant steady application and hard
work and required the optimistic
temperament. Stick to one thing.
Never be gutter and above all
be optimistic. To illustrate this he
told the story Of the frog that fell
into bowl Of cream. The frog
realized the danger Of his predica-
ment, but he kept saying to himself:
81 won't drown, won't drown. !"
Time and again he essayed to climb
the slippery sides of the bowl, only
20 fall back exhausted, but he never
gave up. In the morning when the
hired girl came into the cupboard
for the milk she found the frog sit
ting on top of mound of butter in
the middle of the bowl. It's efforts
to get cut had churned the cream and
maac an island of butter. There
fore, be like the frog--never give up,
but LABOR diligently.
We should so through the world
With confidence in the justice Of
things. It is not only the doing of
great things that brrg honor. It is
the doing Of veYything right. Labor
may be made ennobhng by being
we'll performed without the require
ment Of high and lofty position.
Trust in God is the greatest solace
in trials and Affections, the greatest
s.rengthener Of seif-respect, the
grsatest foundation upon which 20
build 10. the future and for eternity.
Faith in the Diety is sustained by
eYc-y evidence nature gives Of super
human power. The Indian finds it
IN the clouds, in the rocks, in the
wild flowers and In the streams.
The sun brightens his faith in the
daytime and the moon and stars re-
mind him in the night that it must
not slacken. Never lose faith in
God, be true to your fellow men,
true to yourself, and work diligently
and success will be yours.
Prof Bauer spoke very compli-
mtntary Of the work OF the gradu-

So straightway Juniors they became,
