ADDRESS TO THE
CLASS OF 1920
(By R. I. Stone, A. b.


The success or failure of a life
depends to a very large extent on a
right appreciation of values. 1t may
be that after a while when the ex-
liberation of these wonderful days
pass away, you may be asking your
self, ''How much is my High School
education worth?" The very asking
of such a question shows that many
have a wrong conception of what an
education really is. Your High
School course is not an ultimate but
rather mean. 1t is not a goal but
a means to something else. This
question springs from the idea that
education is an accumulation of a
certain quantity of facts which can
be measured and calculated in a GER
tain way and that the aim of educa-
tion is to accumulate this knowledge
in our heads. That definition of ed
ucation might fit some students. 1t
might fit the student, if he could be
called such, whose idea of schooling
is to slip through school any old way
and yet be able during the last few
days or weeks of a term to cram
sufficiently to be able to pass an ex-
animation. The purpose of your
High School Course is to teach you
how to study and to create and de-
velop in you taste and thirst for
knowledge and to some extent show
you how you can satisfy that long
ing. To the one who goes through
High School and then and there gives
up being student and says to him
self, ne plus ultra, to that person l
doubt if his schooling was of much
value. Every man and woman of
today, regardless of their profession,
business or occupation, ought to be
all the time learning. The moment
you cease being student, that mo-
nent you place a limit on your
achievement and damper on your
,urther success. | like to think of

An Open Letter to Members Of Labor Organ
nations in Wolf Point

Dear Sirs:
Throughout the entire country anG
in our own town there has been q
considerable amount Of misunder-
standing between organized labor
and the American Legion. This let
ter is written in an attempt to estab-
lish feeling of unqualified friendli-
ness between the Legion and the la
Dor organizations of Wolf Point and
to clear up some points of doubt and
confusion that may exist in the
minds Of our citizens in general
The purpose of the American Le-
gion is twofold: to help and benefit
ex-service men and women, and to
serve our country and our flag. The
organization is exerting all of its in
fiuence and strength to the end that
all ex-service men, especially the dis
abled and their dependents, and the
dependents of those who paid the
supreme sacrifice, shall receive that
just and fair treatment which they
have reason to expect from a patri-
otto and liberal country.
In serving the country, the Legion
is endeavoring to keep alive that
spirit of service which induced all to
respond to the country's call in time
of need, even to the extent of being
willing to pay the supreme sacrifice
This is being done by assisting in the
of a hundred-per-cent
based on fair play and |
a square deal for all.
The American Legion is not a mil
ltary organization, nor does mem
bership therein affect or increase
liability for military or police SER
vice. 1t is absolutely non-political
and is dedicating and devoting itself
to the support of fair and square
not dabbling in politics.
Numbered among the members of
his organization are many thousands
If labor men. There was no class
# fighters in Uncle Sans military
orces who covered themselves with
.reater glory than did our labor
lnion men. The valiant work of our
Army Engineers will serve as an ex-
mple to prove this assertion.
Mr.. Samuel Gompers, President of t
he American Federation of Labor, '
5 an ardent supporter of the Legion t
nd its purposes. Many of the most +
lfuential officers in the state depart a
lents Of the Legion are also officers Q
f organized labor unions. There is V
o quarrel between labor and the F
merican Legion. There is simply
Misunderstanding. We are working
'r the same principles and ideals
air play and justice to every man.

take great pleasure in quoting
resolution adopted by the meeting
Post Adjutants of Montana Posts
the American Legion held at Helet
on May 3rd, 1920.
Whereas, as is evidenced by
newspaper comments and ex-
pressions from labor unions,
there seems to be some uncer-
tainty among such unions as to
the attitude of The American
Legion toward organized labor,
and,
Whereas, direct charges have
been made that The American
Legion is unfriendly to organiz-
ed labor, and,
Whereas, more than seventy
five per cent of the member
ship of The American Legion
are either members of labor un-
ions or are essentially interested
or in sympathy with the legiti-
mate aims of organized labor,
and,
Whereas, The American Le-
gion in Montana has never at
any time taken any official ac-
ton of any kind in any manner
detrimental to such organiza-
tions, and,
Whereas, any demonstration
or act of any individual mem
bers which might be construed
as contrary to those principles
has been without sanction of the
Legion as an organization, and,
Whereas, it is the desire of
The American Legion that its
attitude of friendliness toward
the legitimate principles and
purposes of organized labor be
made clear to the labor unions
of Montana;
"BE 1T RESOLVED by this
convention that The American
Legion of Montana is in entire
sympathy and accord with the
principles of unionism and all
lawful aims and purposes of or
ganized labor"
1t is the earnest desire of Leonard
ethman Post No. % of Wolf Point
express its hearty friendliness to-
ard each and every labor organiza-
On in our town or whose members

ex-service men who are members

The final exercises of the Com
mencement program were held in the
high school assembly room last
Thursday evening. The eight num-
bers on the program included pleas
ing selections by the high school or
chestra and the high school girls
quartet. The invocation and bene-
diction were pronounced by Rever-
end Alfred Hendrickson. The adj
dress to the class was by Rev. R. I.
Stone and is given below in full.
The presentation of diplomas was
made by Principal Earl Y. Poore
who made a short talk to the class
that was replete with wisdom and
sound advice, expressed in language
that marks Mr.. Poore as a thinker
and an educator of no ordinary abil-
ity. The graduates were the recip-
tents of many nice presents and a
flood of good wishes and congratu-
lations.

and about fifty boarding pupils. Be
sides their regular school room work
they are given a practical knowledge
of work. The girls learn to take
care of their rooms, to sweep and
scrub and sew, and the boys are
given instruction in manual train
ing, etc. Just before school closed
the boys were at work on a hymn
book holder to fasten on the back
of the pews in the Presbyterian
church.
Patriotic Cantata
The Wednesday evening cantata
was a more difficult program than
had ever before been tried at the
school, and the excellent way in
which it was carried out was a credit
both to the pupils and to their teach
ers. A stage was arranged in one
end of the school room, and as the
cantata was patriotic one flags
were used in the background, and
festoons of crepe paper made very
attractive setting.
Winners of Rewards
The final program, given Thursday
was very well given, and consisted
Of dialogues, songs, etc. Following
his Mrs. King awarded the rewards
for the years work to the following
pupils: For memory Bible tests, AL
pert Badhawk, John Clark, Earl

rogress which the Indian children
re making in their school work.

June S and 6
{ q q aa @a@@aE .

The second Glasgow Wolf Poin
baseball series, played here Saturday
and Sunday, resulted in another
$3.50 split. Glasgow won the Sat
urday battle Ia to 4, and the Wolves
have no alibi to offer. They got q
proper beating. 1t was an off day
for King, who after the third inning
was pounded hard, and the fielding
department went to pieces more or
less, as is usually the case in a game
such as this was.
There was trouble among the play
ers and ,as it happened, trouble arose
in the crowd that had no connection
with the game. When Hester at
tempted to trip or block a runner at
first it was more than some of the
local players could stand and there
was a short and lively interruption
at which no one was injured. With
the exception of Hester, the Glasgow
boys are all right fellows and the
Wolf Point fans are greatly in hopes
that Glasgow will get new manager
next year. Herb may be all right in
some lines of traffic, but is a dis
turbing element in baseball always,
regardless of who he is playing for,
Glasgow, Wolf Point, Poplar or
Havre.
There was so much excitement
that the reporter failed to get COM
plete record of the Saturday game
Quite a few of the "hits" were miss
ed, and since an accurate box score
cannot be given, none will be at
tempted. This is not done to mini
mize Glasgow's credit, as they are
entitled to full-sized win.
Second Game
As an exhibition of the national
game, the Sunday game was another
story entirely. 1t was game that
could hardly have been more tense
and thrilling if it had been made
specially for the movies. The crowd
was held in suspense until the last
to know who would win, and
here were exhibitions of brilliant
baseball by both teams. The Glas-
row boys played well throughout and {
3oardman's pitching was high class, l
,ut it is the plain truth that the t
Wolves outclassed them in every de- t
