The Salem public, as represented BY
the mass of people crowded into the
armory last night, felt a thrill Of
pride and exultation as they watched
the .throng of High School graduate:
file in to their places on the platform
and they felt that Salem had indeed
made good investment as Chairman
II. L. Clark, of the School Board,
introduced the galaxy of bright-faced
students as "the finished product Of
all the time, energy and money that
had been lasished upon the city

There were Just a hundred in the
group that filled up the huge plat
form, as usual the ladies being in the
majority. Although there are no fig
ures at hand to show their standing
il is safe to say that the class rep
resents as high a standard Of c-holar
ship as any that has gone out from
the school. AS has been customary
a number Of the class had been recon
mended for the coveted cholarship at
Willamette University, and out Of this
group there were selected Miss Maud
Mccoy and Adlai Esteb as showing the
highest standing in all-round scholar
ship, Though there were number Of
others who were close possibilities.
Judge II. L. Benson, as the orator
Of the evening, centered his thought
in novel manner about the ancient
tradition of the Mohqmmedans as to
the bridge AL Sirat 9--that was sup
posed to bridge the gulf of perdition
into paradise. Using this as a smile,
he pointed out TO the young people
that by their diligence in the acquir-
ing of an education-by a lofty pur-
pose in lifc--it is possible for them
to bridge safely the gulf of failure
and disappointed hopes. He especially
emphasized a denial Of the idea that
the opportunities before the graduate
were fewer than in former times. He
insisted that there in never an over

the great advantage the trained youth
Possessed over the unframed in any
phase Of business or professional life,
and urged upon the young people to
center their aims upon some enc grand
object and to carry with them the
high ideals of their school days.
Miss Maud Mccoy, holding the place
of honor in the class for high scholar
ship, in her oration spoke of the high
place taken by American womanhood
in the world war, winning for herself
a position in world affairs from which
she would never reeede. Having thus
demonstrated her possibilities in a
great emergency she would hereafter
manifest the same spirit and purpose
in the ordinary tasks Of social and
political life.
Donald Ryan, the popular choice ef
the class, spoke strongly Of trained
leadership as the greatest need Of a
democracy. This had been shown in
the course Of the world war, and is
now being specially emphasized in the
reconstruction period. Quoting from
Shakespeare that tsome men are born
great, some achieve greatness ans some
have greatness thrust upon them,' the
speaker asserted that in the sense of
opportunity every man is born great.
and If through careful training and
strong purpose he strives after great
ness it is likely to be thrust upon
him.
Adlai Esteb, the choice Of the High
School faculty, dwelt at length upon
the priceless heritage coming to the
youth Of today in the advantages Of
culture and personal influence In the
schools heritage that should be hon
ored by the young man or woman in

acter and useful citizenship In clos.

the class Of the help and inspiration

tors during their school days.
Along with the orations were

Glee Club and a violin solo by Miss
Viola Ash, all Of which were received
with the heartiest applause.

Of the house in reducing the naval
aviation appropriation from $4,000, 900
to $l5,0O0,000 is supported by the

said today.
Details of the proposed flight across
the Pacific were not disclosed by the
secretary who mentioned it merely in

up unless additional appropriations are
allowed.
Whether a seaplane or a dirigible
would be used in the attempt is un-
known, but navy officials favor the
lighter-than-air craft because of its
greater cruising radius. Furthermore,
the distance across the Pacific which
would have to be taken in jumps, is
so great that planes would run great
risk in attempting it.
Secretary Daniels revealed that the
navy had planned to carry seaplanes
