Our Duty Toward The Liberty Loan.

WI DSsy ~ '" ~~ 49, -'Dsy -~~.s'
Our deity to the Liberty Loan and
our duty 10 our country are just the
same Our duty to our country de-
mands our lives and our money.
We would give our live for nothing
II we did not give our money too.
The best way to give our money is
to lend 1t to Uncle Sam by buying
Liberty Bonds.
One bond would throw a shell into
the Kaisers army.
One bond will buy many sacks Of
wheat for our own boys as well as the
Allies.
A great many bonds will build a ship
to take our brave boys to the other side
to fight.
If these boys give their lives. what a
small part is 1t for us 10 buy Liberty
Bonds.
Wouldn't we rather buy Liberty
Bonds than give our modey to the
mean Kaiser?

County Superintendent. ]. Raleigh
Meador, former member of the ia
Guilty. introduced the speaker of the
evening, Mr. McHenry Rhoads,
State Inspector of High Schools.
Mr. Rhoads began by emphasizing
the Importance of graduation to the
individual and the community, saying
that it was worth much to a student
to have completed the eight years of
common school, but a great deal
more to have completed the High
School. He reminded the class and
under graduates that the more know
ledge and facts CLEANED from books
was not the main good to be derived
from the High School or College
course. but that of more importance
was the influence of and association
with the teachers of broad training
and vision.
Though stating that he did not in
tend to make a war speech, Mr..
Rhoads referred to the closing state
ment in the address OF one of the
class on why we Are at War;" and
reminded his hearers that each time
the United States had drawn the
sword, since its birth as a nation,
the cause had been in defense of the
individual against system. He re-
counted the victory of Perry on the
sea in the struggle with England in
1872 when she was forced to recog-
nize the rights of citizens of a Re-
public on the high seas, and again
when she was forced to remind Spain
in 'o8 that as a nation standing for
the principles of Christianity, Justice
and Liberty for all men, she could
not calmly stand by and see the un-
fortunate subjects of an autocratic
government writhe under oppression,
so in April ~, we, as Nation, were
again forced to draw thesword in un-
ion with the liberty loving peoples
of the continent of Europe in defense
of human liberty against one of the
most despotic and military nations
the world has ever known.
In closing, he congratulated the
members of the class on being citi-
zens in such a republic as ours and
admonished them in regard to their
duty in looking to its continuance.
In presenting the diplomas Prof.
Mccoy repeated some lines which
will be remembered by his hearers
and which truly express the ideal
and purpose OF every citizen of our
law.
