The following is the Grafton given
by Miss Esther Andersen:
LOYAL AND TRUE.
Another school year has passed, and
another class, the class of 1917, is
about to receive the diplomas which
indicate that their work has been sat-
isfactorily completed and that their
school days here, are at an end. For
long time we have looked forward
with much pleasure to this our Com
mencement day but now. that it has
actually arrived-while we are Of
course glad that we have been able
to complete the work-we are sad to
think that after tonight, our relations
as students must cease. Every year
since 1882, the Willmar Seminary has
sent out a number of graduates, and
each class has taken with them some
watchword or motto by which they
may be guided when they go out into
the world.
The graduating class has this year
adopted as its motto loyal and
True. Surely no motto would be
more appropriate than this one for
there has never been time when 10y
atty was needed more than at the pres
ent time. 1t is now nearly two
months since our country took the
step which made US participants in the
world war; since she declared herself
as the champion of democracy and
took up arms for that cause. After
the president had signed the war pro-
clamation, we did not hear murmur3
of disapproval against his decision but
] instead one flag after another was
raised by the citizens in token of their
loyalty to the President and their in
tenti0n to stand by him. 1t is true that
we did not want war, but neither did
we want peace at any price, for there
is not one of us who would be willing
to sacrifice his liberty or rights even
for the sake Of peace. We are salts
fed that we have entered this war in
the interest of humanity and for the
future welfare not only of ourselves
but of others; for this cause we are
willing to sacrifice if necessary even
our lives. We are always loyal and
true to our country and that means
always doing our full duty to her at
all times-but especially now.
Besides loyalty to our country, our
motto includes loyalty to our school;
to our school friends, to our school as
sociations. It is almost impossible fol
school to exist without loyalty on the
part of the students. In this respect
| I think the Willmar Seminary is ahead
of most schools for there is here q
general feeling of equality and good
Fellowship both between the teachers
and, students and among the students
!. themselves which is not found in al
institutions. During our attendance
here, we have formed many close
friendships friendships which W.
hope will not be broken tho we shall
be separated. When we now 60 ou
] into the world we expect to make
many new friends, but in spite Of THU
! fact am sure we shall always re
: member our school friends and remain
loyal and true to them. We also owl

Department Out for Grass Fire.

The fire department of this city has been called out four times within the past two days for small fires about the city. Three of these alarms have been rung in for brush fires The latest alarm to come in was from box If. located near the town farm, Tues day afternoon. Some of the inmates of the farm started a fire in the fields and the blaze soon got away from them necessitating the calling of the department. The fire burned from the lots adjoining the farm to Mansfield avenue, where it was extinguished by the use of a few lines of hose.
 The members of the department are requesting all people to be careful where lighted matches are thrown and to be careful in starting fires as these may do serious damage. A good sized fire was raging south of South Wind ham Tuesday afternoon but did no damage. It is thought that the blaze was started by sparks from a passing train.
