TECH BOYS AWARDED
DIPLOMAS LAST NIGHT
[Continued from First Pagel

L
exercises held last night in the
school auditorium.
DIR. Blaisdell is dean of the School
of Liberal Arts, Pennsylvania State
College. Seated before him in a re-
served section were the seventy odd
students who were about to receive
their diplomas, back of them and
in the galleries were hundreds of
relatives and friends who crowded
the auditorium almost to capacity.
Spiritual Daring" was the theme
which DR.. Blaisdell spoke about, de-
claring that this is what made the
different and so much more effective
than that of any of the allied coun-
tries or Germany.
Germany had physical morale, SO
had we. She had intellectual morale
and so had we. We must admit
those facts. But she did not have
the spiritual morale, the spiritual
daring which the American troops
had. We must keep that spirit with
us. No nation can live without it.
1t is the very essence of American
citizenship"
Experiences of Washington at
Valley Forge and Lincoln during his
Presidency were given by the speak
er as only two examples of this
great spiritual daring.
Students of the class who spoke
during the evening were Lester Mil
Ter, salutatorian, whose Grafton was
on THE Father and Son Move
ment;" Roy Dixon, Camping on the
Trail of Mars" a plea to wipe out
Bolshevism, anarchy and lawless-
ness, and Hugh Wells, valedictorian.
who spoke on Citizenship" The

dent to be graduated from a city
high school.
