ing class Of the high school at the

erratic, but still achieve success.
Unless the individual belong TO one
class or the other there is no hope
for him"

march IF the class. holding stream
ers of req and white, the class col
ors, with which they formed aisles
down which the graduates marched
, To the stage.

workers which he pointed out, the
