Mr.. c. A. Franklin. Editor Of the
Call. was asked to make a short talk.
Mr.. Franklin said in part:
l recall with considerable clearness
my entrance into the High School.
Somehow or other every flower is
given by nature the ability to turn
its branches toward the sun. This
power is also given to l know
as a boy l wanted to initiate a bunch
of young Irish boys who were very
rough, but somehow or other l got
ambition enough to turn toward the
sun. This is what your High School
is for. l can give no Illustration bet
ter than by saying this: An artisan
takes a piece of iron, casts it into a
mold and when it is removed it is
shaped into whatever design he de
sires it to be. You can ome into
the High School, pass away YOU
time and be satisfied with yourself
in the rough or you can do as tn
artisan, make yourself what you wisl
to be. This school can give you tn,
= tools and equipment with which t.
= work, but you must do the worl
/, yourself.
