ing remarks he impressed the thought
upon the students that to gain sue

really seems to be, does not mean
that financial prosperity is necces-

ter things in life and that it is better
for one to be remembered for the

for the great amount of money ac-

The address was delivered by E. F.
Philblad, D. D., president of Beth

chose for his subject 'The Man of
Tomarrow" and in handling the sub
ject gave his audience many valuable
thoughts and suggestions. In his
opening remarks he mentioned the
many changes and developments
which have taken place in the last
few years in all the affairs of life.

theme the class motto, ITO be Rather

selected than that which the young

There is always degree of salts

people of Trego county who taken
part as graduates in the commence

who have finished the eight grade
work of the common schools and the
senior years work of the high school.
They have satisfactorily attained the
end for which they have so long
sought and are now ready for the
higher and greater things of life The
Baccalaureate sermon, the class play
and the addresses have been enter

will give them. hoping that by the
time thev have finished the course
they will be able to decide upon what
occupation they will follow. More
than this is demanded of the man of
tomorrow. He must feel his respon-
sibility to society; that he has not
the privilege of doing just as he may
please without consideration for 9TH
ers, but that there are certain re-
strictions he must observe and that
he must respect those in authority.
The final thought was that the man
of tomorrow must learn to serve and
that if he wishes to accomplish
something of general good or public
welfare he must be able to first Gre
ate sentiment in favor of the thing.
He must have certain high ideals
and never lose sight of then.
