Amid impressive ceremonies, and
before one of the largest gatherings
ever assembled in tnis district, Ray
last night paid homage to her service
men, emblazoning their names for
ever in immortal bronze. The occas-
ion, the unveiling of the splendid
memorial tablet donated by the Ray
Consolidated Copper company, was
notable for it's dignity, simplicity and
for the atmosphere of reverence which
dominated the evening Yet, there
was nothing somber about the pro-
gram, which started with a banquet
for ex-service men, and, following the
impressive unveiling ceremony, clos
ing with dance at the club house.
The strenuous days of the war were
vividly recalled by Rayites, as Gov
ernor Campbell in well chosen words,
dedicated the beautiful bronze memor
ial tablet, which bears the names of
the 121 Ray men who answered their
country's call. Four golden stars,
marking the four who did not return,
bore mute witness of the supreme
sacrifice paid for the nations honor
and it's preservation. 1t is safe to
say that there was no one in the
great audience who did not live over
again the days when the boys went
away, contingent after contingent of
them, and who did not recall the more
recent and happier event, their home
coming from the struggle, victors in a
holy cause
The climax of the beautiful memor-
ial celebration was reached, when, re-
leasing the covering of the tablet, the
governor unveiled the memorial, which
is to be permanently affixed to the
front of the club house, directly in
front of the main entrance, as con-
stant reminder of the sacrifice made
by those whose names it bears.
Brief addresses by Messrs. Gates,
Boyd and Smith of the Ray Consoli-
dated, were among the features of the
evenings ceremonies, and were warm
ly received

ting ready for life's work. He as-'
course that for awhile they would bel
behind the fellow who started right
out to work, but that his educationI
would fit him to make a more rapid
progress in attaining success and that
eventually he would not only over
take, but quickly surpass the one who|
had not taken the time for higher
education. Dean Butler was very|
practical in his talk and explained
that there were many young peopleI
who would not find it advisable to goI
to college.
The dean called attention to the
changing standards of education as.
illustrated in college entrance require
ments, giving Columbia University
as an example. The idea being that
the person with the encyclopedia
knowledge is not as valuable part of
society as the one who has developed
mental ability to do things.
The part of the evenings program
best appreciated by the members OF
the class was the presentation of the
diplomas in a very pleasing manneT
by Mr. C. M. Kinsey, president of the
board of education.

open window into the room.
In my heart l hoped he was dead,
and in a sudden feeling of utter con-
