9th Annual Commencement

The climax of the weeks school ae-
tivities came on Friday evening, June
End, when the commencement exer-
cies were held at the high school au-
ditOrium. An audience Of more than
TOO of the good people of Warren and
surrounding country had assembled to
witness the exercises and by their
presence honor the Glass of 1922.
After the prelude played by Alice.
Lundgren the invocation was offered
by Rev. S. W. SNenson. The saluta-
tory was given by Elba BjOrkQuist
and was choicely worded effort and
we'll delivered. Next the High School
glee clubs under the direction Of Miss
Agda Wennerberg, instructor of music,
sang 1.-THE Nightingale" by Lenhart in
a manner that elected much applause.
The perfect blending of the many
fresh youthful voices in happy, well
rendered song was indeed a pleasure
to hear.
The commencement address was de-
livered by DR.. J. E. Colberg, pastor
Of st. Johns English Lutheran church
in Minneapolis, and was an able, elo-
Quent and inspiring effort. At the
beginning Of his address DR.. Colberg
alluded humorously to the fact that
some years ago when he was resi-
dent of Marshall county he used to
come to Warren quite often because
it was the nearest place in which he
could get bath. He hoped that by
his coming this time he would not
leave any soiled tracks in his wake.
Life" said DR.. Goldberg, sis a
struggle for the heights, for the places
of power, influence and high achieve

their pictures, in some manner and
somewhere in the foreground or back
ground of the canvas, show the snow
crowned Mount Full which has come
to represent the national spirit of new
Japan, it's struggle for eminence, pow
er and achievement in the sisterhood
of nations. He wondered what en-
blem America would put forth to- in
dictate it's struggle for light and power
In the upward struggle education
plays an important part. True educa-
ton will fit men and women to do
the hard jobs in life and he depre-
Gated the fact that so many OF our
young men who attend high school and
college deem it a greater honor to
receive a letter in foot ball than to
win distinction for scholarship. Many
students seem more prone to burn
the midnight gas in their fathers au'
tomobile than to burn the midnight Oil
toiling upward in the night seeking
knowledge. America has a great many
hard problems 4 to solve now aud III
the future and are we prepared and
willing TO SON. them to the cory OF
America and the benefit of mankind:
We. should not aim tor the easy things
in life but tackle the hard work with
earnest determination to succeed. LII
! doing so we must learn to cooperate
! with our fellow men in doing the
worlds work. The principle OF CO
operation is becoming more and more
a factor in the development of the
