campaigns, dreamcrs of combats, dream
ers of victory and peace, and spoke of
the hours they spent i'll the cathedrals
in prayer; every combat was fired with
religious zeal. The speaker then paid
o fitting tribute to Roosevelt as a
dreamer, seer, door.
Turning then to the women dreamers,
he spoke of Florence Nightingale and
of her vision of serving in the battle
field, and her dream and vision has been
followed by many. He brought to mind
the great visions of an engineer to dig
deep into the rocky foundations and
build 30 40 or more stories in the air
dreamer who dares and does.
"Fling out your life; pour out your
energy; plan your work and work your
plan,' said President Marshall. And
in speaking to the graduating class he
referred to the sacrifice which they could
not realize had been made by some OF
the mothers represented there to send
their boy or girl through the course, and
in closing said 81 beg of you, dream,
and dare, and do. "
1t was an address of exceptional pow
er and made deep impression upon the
audience.
Following the address Principal War
rem read the list of honor students in the
four high school classes, all those having
an average of so per cent or more since
entering high school being included in
the lists. After announcing the Uni
versity of Vermont and special prize Win
ncrs he said other honors could come in
music, athletics and other activities, but
there could be no greater honor to the

| that of being an Austine scholar. He
said there was no class in which he would
take greater interest than in the class
of l9l0-not only as an organization and
class, but as individuals. He said the
step on which they rested was but II
milestone and mark which would lead
them upward and onward-never back
ward. And then, ''if you will follow the
quotation of Tennyson which is printed
on your program, there can be no ques-
ton of success. Live pure, speak true,
right wrong, follow the King-elsc,
wherefore born p" The Austine winners
were announced and the class of 1919 was
presented to the prudential committee
by Mr.. Warren.
Diplomas Presented.
An honor which comes to but few par
ents was that which came to Judge A.
F.. Schwenk that evening, when it was
his privilege to present diploma to his
daughter, Dorothy A. Schwenk, who was
among the graduates. Particularly fit
ting remarks were made in behalf of the
prudential committee by Judge Schwenk,
who thanked Mr.. Warren and his able
assistants in preparing the class for
graduation knowing that they all had
labored hard and faithfully endeavoring
to impart to each the required education
He said it was the hope of the committee
that the future achievements of the
members would demonstrate that their
labors had not been in vain and that
their records would be such as to compen-
safe them for their efforts so well be-
slowed He congratulated the members
of the class upon completing their course
and attaining the goal of their ambition
| To those who We're able to do so he rec
commended continued study in higher in
situations, and to those who would now
enter upon life's work he recommended
continued study in their homes. Contin-
ung, he said: "You have learned that
close application and perseverance over
come difficulties and obstacles; that
spirit and activity produce results; that
honesty and square dealing bring satis-
faction, even through defeat; that 'im-
possible is un-American' and that deeds
not dreams are the essentials of sue
cess" He then urged the class to remem-
Der those principles and apply them to
every day dealings and in doing this he
assured them that they would become
leaders in their commpunty, power for
good and a credit to themselves. an honor
to the institution from which they were
graduating and pride to those who have
so zealously endeavorcd to inculcatc
those principles.
As the diplomas, tied with victory red
ribbon, the class color, were presented
the graduates stepped forward to the
strains of the Commonwealth March.
