10 the Alumni and Friends of the
Normal School:

To the Alumni and Friends of the
Normal School:
Everyone who has known Walter
HeWett Cheeyer, whether as a col
league, student, or personal friend,
feels that something should be done to
honor MS memory IN = suitable man
ner. He occupied a unique position in
the state. A instructor in the normal
school and institute conductor in the
STATE ne probably met and knew per
sonally more teachers than any one
other person; and ne never conducted
an institute without leaving his i'm
preston upon the community.
Inasmuch as Mr. Cheever's heart
was with the students, perhaps the
most suitable memorial is one that viii
keep him in their minds forever.
Hence il has been sugr sted that q
Memorial Fund be established, the in
teregt accruing from that fund to be
used annually for the recognition OF
merit in some senior student, or stu
dents His name thus will live, and
his influence be an increasing force for
good through long periods yet to come.
You are hereby invited to contri-
butte to this fund We hope to have
all accounts checked up by May the
first, so the fund can be put into OPP
Grafton this year A prompt response
will be appreciated.
Very sincerely yours,
Emma j. Gardner, Pres

Joe Climbs Up The Ladder.
Joe went into the barn one day and
since he had never been in the barn
NOW, he wanted to see what it was
like. "Welr' he said, seeing that no
one is around, | am going to try it."
I But this is very shaky ladder
though, he thought, as he started to
climb. Then 10, the very thing hap
pened that he suspected might take
place. The very first rung of the lad
der had snapped under his weight, he
grabbed for the next one, but losing
his hold he fell to the bottom. He
started up again, this time more care
fully and finally he reached the top
SO it is all through life One starts
OF the way Joe did. All the ladders
Of life are shaky and probably a rung
viii be lost here and there And we
learn our lessons by falling on the
rungs Of life, But the last rung to
/ the bottom usually holds us. And
when the tou is reached, it will only
be kept by using our heads to the best
advantage. So | want to say to the
boys and girls that the first step up
the ladder of life is taken when you
JOIN the juniors il the climbing. So,
start the ladder now There is no
time like the present.-Selected
