We. the class of 1918 of the keo-

our last will and testament. bu.
first we want to thank the scnoos
board for those wonderful frescoes 0,
pastoral scenes, which have inspired
such beautiful thought In us; for tne
comfortable chairs and davenports
for the silk cushions, and last pun
least, for the new elevators which
have been such relief to US seniors,
who are well nigh exhausted alter
our struggles with the 1nevitaole
Senior theme. And we thank tne
many teachers who have helped 10
make us the first perfect class OF
the keokuk high school.

"Ker-kuk! Ker-kukH drawled out
the porter, and the post aeroplane ex-
press whirled lower and lower. at last
gliding along the huge expense used
for landing to the aeroplane station.
II was about time to go to school, so,
after sending my trunk to the Iowa, J"
| wirelessed fer an aeroplane to take
me there.
! Oh, I've forgotten to tell you why L
was going to the school. You see, the
class of 1918 was having reunion,
and that morning each member of the
class was to tell what he had been
doing since he, so long ago, left the
Keokuk High School. How queer and
far away those old, happy days seem
edr Now Keokuk was the metropolis
of the middle west, and | looked won
deringly at the endless rows of build
ings far below.
The meeting was just beginning as
I entered, and Margaret Meyers was
presiding. Where was Bud Stadler?
But Margaret was explaining that.
You see, Bud couldn't leave Ger
many just now. he intended to come,
but there was some important treaty
being made. SO he had to be there"
OF course, it's hardly necessary to
tell you that Bud went over there
soon after graduation and, when the
great war was over, stayed in Ger
many. Through teaching the boys
there how to play football and base
ball he became so well known that a
short time ago he was elected presi-
dent of the Republic of Germany"
And now" Margaret continued,

A college education also promotes

1t delivers him into the rule of the gen
eral principal. 1t helps him to see
what needs to be done in any given
case; it helps him to find the force
necessary for it's doing; it helps him
to protect his cause and himself from
the necessary perils of his doing; and
1T helps him to relate the conse,
uuences of his doing with other forces
and conditions. 1t is self evident that
the higher eduction increases the

course. The college man we shall say
begins at practically the same point
where the high school man began. But
experience proves that after the col

years he will have come up with the
high school man although the latter
has four years head start, and in the
third year of his apprenticeship he

"A Plea for Higher Education
[By Edward Franklin Wi1sey Jr.]
Many of the class of 1918, dare
say, are debating in their minds
whether to continue their education
or to assume the role of soldier OF
workingman. The colleges and uni
versities have recently been scatter.
ing throughout the land printed mat.
ter to the effect that all high school
students who are about to leave their
halls of learning should enter the
realm of higher education; so that
they might take a responsible posi-
ton in this great world cataclysm, SO
that they might take an important
hand in the great work of reconstruc'
ton that is to follow, and also enjoy
the benefits of broad, liberal mind
Even the president, the commissioner
of education and other great educa-
tors of our country are advocating
that we continue our learning in high
er institutions.
Why Hesitate?
Yet some who are able to go to col
Ilege, hesitate. Why do we hesitate,
fellow classmates, when such urgent
demands are present? The only an
Swer that i can ma 10 tudl VIC w tot
understand the value of an education;
we do not comprehend its definition.
Indeed / have lately heard interpre-
tations of higher educations so re-
pugnant to my conception of the term
that my usual taciturnity on such mat
tiers has been violated with extrover-
sion.
To some students higher education
lis but a synonym for good time So
cially: to others athletic glory with a
mile long retinue of feminine admir-
ers: a few take vain delight in be-
longing to as many sororities or fra
ternities as their time and finances
permit. All these misguided schol-
astic-sailors seem to have for their
polar star that insidious motto: do
not let your studies interfere with
your college education"

others who are actuated by higher
and nobler ideals. They go to- college
with a purpose, grim determination
to accomplish something, and yet

Continue Education.

And now, ladies and gentlemen, !
have finished my case. IT | have maze
clear to you the position OF my
clients, and have expounded to you the
true meaning of higher education,
will feel justified in taking your time
Fellow classmates, let me say TINS 10
you in parting word: You owe IL 10
yourself; you owe it to old X II. 3;
you owe it to the future welfare OF
our great country to continue your
education in the higher institutions
which our forefathers have so wisely
and graciously bestowed at our dis
posal.

will have passed the high school man.
When once he has passed him COM
petition must cease. The college man
enters into developments and reia-
tionships Of his business which the
high school man cannot and knows ne
cannot enter. There have been great
business men who were not college
graduates, but nature endowed them
with greater faculties even without
the gift of higher education than
most men possess. 1t is Significant
that these men are sending their
sons to college. and are doing more
to send the sons of other men to col
lege than any one else in the COM
munity.
Do Things Worth While.
Closely allied to the educational
value that have just mentioned, is
another which might be said to lie IN
the capacity of being inspired to 90
something worth while. If this ca
pacity exist at all it is necessary that
it be called forth. If it Is not called
forth it becomes paralyzed or DEAD
The college is the force and condition
hest fitted to evoke it into being. Col
1ege acquaints man with the great
and political. 1t demands knowledge
OF the best books. 1t represents
great teachers and great scholars. ana
in the student body moreover there
are souls who though young IN years
are radiant with hope and promise.
With such an environment the stu
dent is inspired to do something worm
while il that capacity exist at all IN
him. What the greatest have thought
OF and aspired to, he may think OF
and aspire to. What the strongest
have achieved, may be made not I'M
worthy of his ambition. Such com.
ing to ones self is Of the highest
practical worth 1T represents the
dawn OF a new world. A true college
graduate should rejoice because he is
the possessor Of the greatest OF earth
ly gifts--the owner of a mental dla-
mond mine of fabulous and inexhaust-
ible riches.
