Miss Gail Binkley, the valedictorian
of the class Of 1913, who won so many
school honors, and has achieved so
much that was valuable and which re-

has been congratulated by her friends
and the public generally. not only on
her splendid school record, but upoi
the excellence of her address at the
High School Commencement.
The Journal. in publishing Miss Blink
ley's essay, feels sure that not only the
High School students. but the pubic
generally. will find in 1t much OF value
and interest:
Friends, an atmosphere of goodwill
pervades this assembly. l know it, be-
cause 1 not only feel it, but feel the
length of these exercises. In fact, good
will is the eternal thing OF which /
wish to speak Goodwill is such a
communicable feeling that yours has
made us happy and ours must surely
make itself felt in you. We have abso-
lutte proof of your goodwill. Ours is
yet to be proven. You, our mothers
and fathers, who have struggled to
make possible this stage OF our experi-
enee, who have supplied us with the
necessary equipment for this period of
our lives, who have planned carefully
and directed wisely all our pursuits,
who have encouraged us by every
means within your power, can we ask
greater proof OF your good-willy And
you, our friends, who by your very
friendship have encouraged us, who by
your interest and examples have fired
our ambition and made. the tiresome
process of attainment seem more pur-
poseful, more wohlly essential to our
ultimate happiness, can we ask stronger
proof of your goodwill? II is your
right to expect returns and returns
you shall have; for only by our re-
turns can we give you proof of our
goodwill.

greatest period of the worlds history.

conceivable loss. In fact, recalling lit
tie passages of hard-learned history we
see in this period a direct parallel to
several other periods. The establish
ment of Christianity was proceed by
seething strife. The foundations OF
governments have been laid In blood.
The declarations Of liberty have been
paid for by blood and suffering. 1t is
not reasonable then for us to believe
that the fraternity OF democracy is be-

us to say that we hope the two crises

| little moments, all action Is made OF
little movements.
We are glad to believe that our lit
tie efforts may be OF some-vaiue IN
developing the foundations of democ-
raey, good-feflowship.
In school we have found that the CO.
operation born of good-fellowship is
the most essential factor in the sue
cess OF any undertaking. We have
never yet found a basketball, a foot
ball, a baseball hero who played the
game alone. We have never yet found
a cheer-feader who alone could make
enough noise to win the game. We
have never yet found leader OF any
organization who successfully promoted
the purpose of that organization with
out the cooperation OF its members.
Can We not safely believe that princi
pie will hold true when we leave
school? We want to cooperate with
you? We want to benofit by your wider
experience. We want to lend our youth
and enthusiasm to your wisdom and
discretion. We want to serve. We
want TO develop the resources that we
are told we possess. Our High School
education has prepared US for citizen
ship. We want to be citizens-actIve
ones-citizens of Pensacola, of Flor
ida. of the United States, Of the world.
Then. perhaps we can help for one
little unit in the great world unit of
cooperation toward one aim-democ
Tracy.
We anticipate the new school Of ex-
perience, citizenship, with pleasure.
We want to take our chance among
men and women. Speaking OF chance
reminds me Of an amusing incident in
connection with a cause that lies near
to my heart. A lady spoke to a large
crowd from a platform In a certain in
land city. The lady was majestic in
appearance. majestic in size and bear
ing. full Of life, beautiful. She had
just presented the justice Of the ex-
tention OF the franchise to wbmen and
followed it with the statement that
women do want to take the chance to
vote, when they get 1t. A fastidiously
dressed young gentleman rose, daintily
lingering gloves and cane. and asked !:
But, Miss era Blank, would the-ah
ladies take the chawnee to fight?" The
question conveyed gentle insinuation
The majestic lady OF the platform tried
hard to restain an amused smile, and
with scarcely perceptible movement
of one beautifully developed shoulder
mildly remarked. We'll, Lab shouldn't
mind taking a chawnce with you my
self"
And we feel ourselves prepared to
meet as fearlessly as would the lady
of the platform. the ''chawnce'-what-
yer the world may demand
we wish to express our appreciation
of the kindness OF the teachers who
nave guided us through the danger
points of High School life We can
even say, now that they are closed,
that we love our good old Vergils, and
our Tugs" We want to express ap-
probation OF every means that has
made possible this period of our train
Ing And now at our graduation from
this stage OF experience we find our
selves ready to commence the new
stage with a feeling too grateful for

Try This Test.

To me a voice is an index of char
acter. It shows an unconscious sweet
ness in woman. 1t is an evidence
of self-controI, of peise. 1t shows
thought and balance. A soft-toned
voice throws all high pitched demon
STATIONS into the background, and
makes them infantiIe and ridiculous.
Listen, sometime, to a nervous,
overwrought woman talking with an
other who is calm, self-possessed and
low-Voiced. And then, if you realize
that your voice isn't as pleasing to
the ear as you may wish, go to your
home and make VOW to Improve
your voice.
Speaking voices can always be
made more musical by devoting suf-
f1cient time to the accomplishment of
the task. You never begrudge the
time spent in polishing your finger
nails. A visit to the hairdresser is
in the regular days work. Attention
is paid to the things that have an
effect upon the eye. But the appeal
to the ear is quite as necessary as
that to the eye. Try a little home
culture of your voice.

gaping holes Use a fine crochet hook
and soft split worsted Go all around

crochet stitch work inward to the
center of the hole, filing in the aper-
ture with the crochet stitches This is
practicable only when the hole is a
large one, in the heel or knee of a
stocking, but it is a quick and pleas
ant method of mending badly worn

Crochet hook and cotton may be
employed to mend the tops of union
suits when the ribbon beading has
given out This beading is usually the
first thing to go in woman's vests
and union garments because of the
constant tying and untrying of the
ribbon and the strain on the beading
getting the garment on and off.
