Splendid Program Marked His
Quarter Century Of Leadership

the early days, to recall the parties in.
the gravel pit and elsewhere; to re-
call again the old school scraps that
have now lost their sharpness Of bat
tie; the sleigh rides and all the feat
ures that students enjoy In fact, I
do not think we would object today if
President Mcfarland we're again to
tell us of the Irishman carrying the
bricks. We are planning to call
special meeting tomorrow Of all the
alumni and asking him to give us his
annual address on calf love and read
once more that old favorite poem Of
his by Ben King.
LAS you wander about the halls and.
the campus today I know how you will
enjoy meeting the old classmates and
stepping into the class rooms to meet
those old teachers who through so
many years have worked steadily here
and given so much kindly counsel and
help. Many of you as you stroll
around may find changes in your class
mates. Many of the old graduates are
now trailing along with a small kim
dergarten of their own. And by the
way, you are all supposed to step in
and call on your faculty adviser who
gave you one hundred and ten rules
that were to guide you through life.
Furthermore, l do not know but what
this would be the appropriate day for
reading old class prophecies with real
results to check UP by.
"The school has made you all more
than welcome. There is nothing that
gives more pleasure to the school man
agement than to see the alumni come
back home again. Some of us have
probably found it difficult to leave our
work and have probably done so at
some sacrifice, but when we realize
that our president has now completed
his twenty-fifth year Of service in this
school we are glad that we have come.
Some one has aptly said: Every
great institution is the frightening
shadow of some great man." When
you mention Harvard you at once
think of the life work of President
Elliot. When the University of Chi
cago is mentioned it recalls the life of
David Starr Jordan and the University
of Minnesota at once brings to mind
the leadership of Cyrus Northrop. And
so it has happened through a kind
Providence that on the prairies Of
North Dakota there was established
in the pioneer days normal school
which through twenty-five years has
been permitted to continue on its
course of persistent and steady
growth, keeping stride with a single.
ness of purpose toward one great ideal
until it stands recognized today
throughout the United States as a
school of high standards and has be-
come a great institution under the
leadership of great personality,
George A. Mcfarland"

GONE AWAY


The town is big and lonesome, every
days lonesome day,
For the boys who donned the khaki
and waved and marched away;
There are shafts of yellow sunshine
coming through the new leaved
trees,
And the butterflies have awakened and
the hum of honey bees x
Is as cheerful as of old, and little chill
dren run and play,
But the boys just out of school have
waved us and gone away. -
Aye, the boys have gone and left US,
they have marched off khaki clad,
And the city's big and lonesome, and
the days are not so glad
AS they used to be. The Knockers sing
as gladly in the trees,
But it seems the world will never be
the world it used to be
Till we have the boys about us, till we
hear their marching feet,
And we see them waving to us coming
gayly down the street.
They are boys-why, they were little
bits Of fellows yesterday,
Full of talk of kites and marbles, and
now they have marched away!
Marched away like men, to meet and
battle with the foreign foe,
And our hearts were proud to have
them wave to us and turn and go;
And they'll do their duty nobly, will
our bows in khaki brown.
But till they come marching home
ward it will be a lonesome town.

WHEN THE WAR is GOING TO END

But my aunt's washerwoman's son
Heard a policeman on his beat
Say to a lahorer on the street
That he had letter just last week
Written in the finest Greek
From a Chinese coolie in Timbuctoo
Who said the niggers in Cuba knew
Of colored man in Texas town
Who got it straight from a circus
clown
That a man in the Klondike heard the
news
From a gang of South American Jews
About somebody in BOrneo
Who heard of a man who claimed to

Of swell society dame

To prove that her seventh husbands

Has stated in printed piece
That she has son who has a friend
Who knows when the war is going to

Before this country entered the war
the liquor interests had it heralded
that they used scads of grain and that
helped to keep up the prices to the
producers. After the war was declar-
ed they tried to show the government
that the amount used was almost or
next to nothing. The query Of which
time were they guilty of not telling
the truth is answered by stating from
