President Lewis Talk.
Superintendent Wilson introduced
President w. A. Lewis of the Normal
his address was, Service and Citizen
ship" President Lewis talk was
along different lines from the aver
age commencement address. He told
the graduates that education is not
| equipment for the business of living.
He said that it is a mistake to pat
| tern after some famous man. and
that the way to be great is to be
natural These young people are
| facing a more complicated world than
any class ever before faced said Mr..
Lewis. land the way for them to sue
coed is to live with the common man,
along the roadside.
DO something for your commun
ity. After leaving school, the stu
dents should go to their father and
mother to learn the art of living. The
human race is being constantly read
justed. Ideas and ideals have changed
in the past five years, and they will
change in the next five years. This
great war in Europe, according to the
common belief. is a war of conquest;
of nations hungry for glory, and for
territory. On the contrary, it is my
belief, the war is only another step
in the reimbursement and recoDstruc-
ton of the human race.
when the war is over, there will
be a flood of people from foreign ma
tions coming to this country, with
their belief in their fellow men al
most if not entirely destroyed. 1t is
the duty of these graduates tc help
these people and to see that their
children are not brought up in this
light; and to restore to them their
faith in God and man.
The diplomas were given out by P.
w. Griggs, president of the board of
education.
Two members of the class were not
present. Miss Mildred Morrison has
already started teaching school, and
Harry E. Ferguson is out of town.
One feature of the commencement
was The costumes of the girls. Super
intendent Wilson announced that the
girls of the graduating class limited
the cost of dress for the occasion to
represented the seasons cost only 2 8
cents each.
