I'VE are entering upon a period OF
great reconstruction following the
war. Problems Will be more numer.
Gus and more difficult OF solution than
ever before. Some of the most impor-
tant problems of political nature
are now upon us But young men
of today need have no fear that they
will all be solved before he can get to
them, because, as is often the case.
the solution of one problem will be
the creation of another"
Wcighty Problems Confront Us.
At this he pointed out some of the
problems which are giving great con.
Germ at present, among them the dis
position to be made of the railways.
differences between capital and labor,
our International relations and the
immigration problem. Members of the
class of 1919 of the Albuquerque high
school may be called upon to aid in
solving these and other perplexing
questions.
In the scientific field, too, there
are unlimited opportunities for the
educated man who broadens his vision
and education Aerial navigation is
only in its infancy. Cheaper motive
power for self propelling vehicles is
needed. Locomotives which we now
look upon as being models of perfec-
ton will be supplanted by new and
better ones. In fact, We have as much
right to expect that in the field of sci
ence and invention there will be as
muth progress in the next fifty years
as was made in the half century period
which has just passed.
While it is true that with all our
books and literature and public lee
lures it is possible for any young man
or woman to become educated with
out attending school at ALL" said the
speaker in conclusion yet ii must be
remembered that the average young
person, if left to himself, does not suf-
ficiently appreciate the necessity for
application along educational lines,
nor will he, of himself, devise a sys-
tenn or plan of learning which will
enable him to compete with those
who are guided through years of
school work by men and women who
have made a life study of the capa-
cities and needs of the young mind
No young man can safely assume that
he is educated until he has completed
at least three parts of the educational
program now offered by our school
system: First, the grades; second,
the high school. and third, the col
lege."
Following the playing of violin
solo by Miss Irene Partch, accom- !
panied by her brother, Harold Partch,
on the piano, Principal G. B. Jones
of the high school presented the SEN
Tor class to Judge M. e, Hickey, presi- |
dent of the board of education.
Before beginning the duty assigned !
him, that of presenting the diplomas, |
Judge Hickey congratulated the mem
bers of the class on having reached
this state in their education. He
urged them to prepare themselves to
grope with the difficult problems of
life by terrifying themselves with a
course N a higher institution of learn
ing.
As the name of each graduate was
called he stepped forward from his
seat on the stage and was handed his
by Judge Hickey, the audi
ence applauding vigorously mean
while.
The girls We're dressed in white and
each one wore a corsage bouquet. The
boys wore white trousers and dark
coats and each one had a tiny bou-
quet in the lapel of his coat.
The exercises closed with the sing
ing of From the Land of the Sky
Blue Water by the high school glee
club and the benediction by the Rev.
Alfred O. Kuhn.
