When Harding won the election one
of the demands made of him was that
Senator Fall Of New Mexico should be
secretary Of the interior; the preda-
tory corporations desired nothing more
than this, so far as the public domain
was concerned. They knew Fall and
knew what he would do. Certainly they
are not being disappointed. With such
a grab,fest proceeding right out in the
public view, men are justified in won.

public properties in Alaska, where
minerals of untold value are known tc
exist, and in which every citizen of the
country has an interest," as in the public
oil lands of Wyoming and California.
< --a-- = -. :.
The democratic minority on the SEN
ate fanance, committee have made
careful calculations, with the aid Of
statistical experts, and come to the
conclusion that the burden placed on
the backs of the people by the pend
ing tariff bill will be as great as the
heavy load laid on them by the great
world war; They assert that the high
prices of today will be maintained un.
der the new law and that the present
high cost of living will even be in
creased. These indirect taxes are as
real as our internal revenue taxes, but
not as plainly discernible to the aver
age citizen as the, latter. However,
there are none who can escape them,
they make themselves felt at every
turn. Of the road. They are included in
everything a man has to purchase, no
matter how necessary the article ~. or
how poor the buyer.

HIGH SCHOOL CLASS BIDS FOND FAREWELL
 TO FRIENDS AND TEACHERS AT ALMA MATER

who has been most successful shall give all my wealth. Go now and Gods blessings attend you"
 The young men agreed willingly. for each was confident that he would directions, each keeping his own counsel as to where he intended to go and what he intended to do.
 Through long years they struggled diligently: keeping ever in mind that they were competing for a great prize.
 And finally at the specified time they were back at the fathers hearth.
 The old man greeted his sons af- fectionately. He had grown bent and gray but there was new gleam of wisdom in his eye. My sons, you are welcome back to the old home. can read in your faces that each of you has had a great struggle. have not forgotten our compact We shall see now which of you Is the most successful man."
 Father Turns to Son.
 Then he turned to the eldest of them. My son, will you tell me what you have achieved?
 The young man beamed with con- fdence. T have grown rich father since left you, have become the owner of great factory. Everything I have set my hands to has prospered. Wealth has seemed to roll into my lap. Here are my books; you can see for yourself what my great possess sions consist off
 "Yes, you have acquired an honest fortune; that Is, indeed, worthy ac- complishment. But have you been happy in your work? And have you been engaged in the line of work that you love best to do?
 The son was thoughtful for mo- ment. Then he answered, No. cannot say that l have been happy in my work. You know, I always had my heart on being a lawyer. l can not forget my old aspirations. l am sure I should be happier in that vo-

cation but then l went out to win suc- cess and l have achieved.
 Forgetful of Service
 "One question more," said the fa- ther. have you found time to be of service to your fellow men?"
 Service? It is absurd I could not spend my time thinking about others and win success too'
 Second Son Called.
 Then the second young man was asked to give an account of his at- tainment. When I left you ten years ago" he said "I bent all my energies in the direction of painting; you will recall that l always longed to be an artist. l have now won name for myself my work is praised in every land. While I have not made a great fortune, yet E am moderately rich"
 And you, my son, have you done something for your fellow men?" No, l have not had the time for that; I have been too absorbed in my work to give any specai thought to the welfare of others
 Third Sons Story.
 And then the third son told his story. Fortune has not smiled up- on me- he began. You know, fath- CT, l had always wanted to be a farmer and so I have given these ten years of my life tilling the soil. I possess no great wealth, but have made comfortable living. l have been happy in my work because it is the one thing I love best to do, and because 1 have had an opportunity to give helping hand to my struggling fellows"
 The aged father turned to him and announced with an emotion of mingled joy and sadness: You, my son. are the most successful.
 Money Does Not Mean Success.
 There is a vocational philosophy in this tale. Really to succeed in his vocation, a man must not only make good in a financial way, but he must find joy in his work and the oppor- tunity for growth and service. Legiti- mate money-making is a good thing, an essential thing, but it is not all A man may be regarded as voca- tional success when he has an income that will provide a comfortable liv- ing for him and his dependents, when he has found his calling, and hence Is happy in his work, when he has an opportunity for growth and he is in a position to render maximum service to his fellows. It is every mans right to find a calling that will measure up to such a standard of vocation op- portunity.
 Chance tO SprNp
 To summarize, the man of tomor- row will demand that his vocation shall yield him
 An adequate income.
 Joy in his work.
 Opportunity for growth.
 A chance to serve.
 Whether or not the boy of totlNy will succeed in the great tomorrow will depend upon how well he fol- lows the common sense principles of vocational gudance-how clearly he recognizes the call of an honorable ambition, how faithfully he enIarscs his capacity for work, how far. sight edly he makes use of the opportun- ties at hand and creates for himeelf others of greater significance.

 We lived up 10 our name-Sopho- mores, We were considered as peo- ple with but little real sense in our heads and people who were forever making wise cracks about the great time they were having in room some thing or other, or with the teacher in room so-and-so.

 That was the year when the R, Q. r, C, was in its full glory. On Class bay we presented a skit entitled "'rhe R. O. T, C, As We'd Like It." Need less to say, it made a decided hit with the audience and we began to feel that we had made name for our selves.

vine spark in the soul of man that quickens his life into noble deeds. Ambition does not insure success but 1t makes 1t possible.
 Native Ability
 Not only does the boy have ambi- tons for success; he has capacity for it as well. A mere desire to achieve unaccompanied by native ability would be futile Happily, these two success factors go hand in hand. II is true that not all boys are born with equal capacity for the same things but each can rise to high at tainment in his own sphere, Not every man can be a Lincoln of q Greeley. however great this aspiration and however persistent his struggles but he can succeed in the field of work that nature designed for him. Vocational success is something with in the reach of all God would not have planted a yearning in the heart of man for desirable place in the world, without at the same time equipping him with the means of at taining it.
 An Opportunity
 one thing more the boy will need to complete his equipment-an oppor- tunity. Every day witnesses the rise of some energetic young man to a place of power, wealth, or fame. For the person who sits idly by and waits for opportunity to pluck him by the sleeve there can be only disappont- ment.

 One cannot make satisfactory head way in any enterprise unless he has an end to strive for.
 Make n Forecast
 Young men at this point should take stock Of themselves and make q forecast of the future In the light of facts that are easily attainable, The boy of today win be the man of to- morrow. It cannot be predicted with certainty what their vocational des- tiny will be. Much depends on them.

HISTORY OF CLASS
 BY EVERETT HERRE

This evening practically marks the close or the history of the class of ,e2. Although, when we came here in September, 1918, We had heard of graduation, class night and other events of the commencement season, we never, until last year, dared to hope that sometime we might take part in them.
 There was nothing unusual about us when we came faltering into school on the opening day. We were Fresh men and everyone was wirfng to make allowances for us. We became the butt of all the time worn and venerable jokes which are sprung on Freshmen; asking for the elevator, hunting for Room ' and others.
 Elected Officers.
 We elected officers not because we so desired, but because it was our duty Why we needed them was more than we could fathom. Hal Long was our first president, Mabel Elliot, vice president; Jeannette Light secretary, and here it may be said that Jeannette has been secretary of about every organization in the school. Our treasurer was Ward Harper.
 The Freshman reception was ten- dered us by the Sophomores. the ma jority of us making an exit between the hours of and 10. Anyway it wasn't much fun for us to stand in the corner and watch others dance.
 War Is Ended
 But there was still another disap- pointment in our first year. The war which we Freshmen had been so whole -heartedly supporting in Nari- ous lines of war work was ended. Even though we celebrated four days early, we now feel that that Thurs day afternoon, Nov. ', was well spent Some of us even remember being trampled upon by the mad rush Of upper classmen down Franklin Square
 We went through the year in more or less discomfort Class bay brought us some cheer, our novel idea of the sailor boys being well received and Robina Blair's dancing well com mended.
 Then, too, we escaped the joke which the class of '21 had to bear throughout it's life by having green for its color. We received the deI- cate tint of pink The fact tltat pink has been so very popular with the members of our class is well shown by the number Of pink slips always carried about with them, known as work to be made up" slips

back on that day which had the name of an R. O. T. c. field day or inspec- tion. Well, whatever the name was. it does not entirely agree with the conception of a name which most Of us would like to give it. We'd call it "an official test by the US. govern ment to see what the physical end dur- ance Of young man is.'
 Of course we took our turn in giv- ing the incoming Freshmen recep- ton which from all reports was a success. Our class was coming into it's own rapidly now, socially, athleti- cally and otherwise.
 Juniors.
 In September we felt that we could conquer the world. We were Juniors and the next year we would be Sen iors. Why not feel mighty? In this exalted frame of mind, we elected our mighty officers. James Reynolds of basketball fame was our president, Hulda Brink now advanced to vice president Esther Davis was elected our secretary and Clifford Backgren guarded the mint.
 We allowed our affairs for the most part, to take care Of themselves. And our report cards began to show up in our class colors.
 Junior Prom.
 Then came the Junior Prom, our first great success, Success has been
  we surprised our older brothers by stepping out Our boys were begin ming to appreciate the fairer sex, too. Even though the Seniors did take our decorations and burn them, the affair was very brilliant and everyone talked about ii for days. Again on Class Day we carried off the hcnors. A miniature musical comedy was pre- scented, in which our eleven dancers showed up to advantage. We escap- ed with one casualty-peEgy Lewis was hit in the eye with a lolly pop.
 Right after that the class of '22 furnished men for the first real base ball team the school has had for. long time. They cleaned up every thing. another feather in our hat of glory. IL began to appear that we had q great future before us a wonderful past behind US
 Seniors.
 An. At last we are Seniors, what a noble species that is, our dreams are realized. For the fourth and last time we elected officers. The results showed that Dixie Griffin was to take the helm, Esther Davis to be first mate, Hulda Brink secretary of our ship of state and Franklin Davis to have charge of our exchequer. And SO our class which had sailed the sea of High school life so well was to rail the home stretch under these ef- fcient hands.
 Champion Team. We started out with a bang. '22 will always be remembered for it's championship eleven. But wait here some mysteries intervene which prob 1 ably the class will leave unsolved or n the will or somewhere. Anyway | hey can't be solved in this history.

Things soon began to move | asst First came Class Day when we | cached the apex of all our dramatic | performances, and how perfectly | wonderful it was to feel that we were seniors. the best, the mightiest in all T. rrl From. our farewell dance, a wonder ul social event, and then our ban Iuet, a gorgeous festivity where wits md appetites were matched to make he evening one of joyous hilarity.

CLASS GRAFTON IS
 BY ROSS McCOURT

One of the most priceless things in the world is youths ambition to achieve. Everybody dreams of be- ing a successful man, of some day holding securely in his possession the things that his heart yearns for. The idea of failure he will not admit, even to himself. His impulse is positive and wholesome, for he thinks only in terms of attainment. Doubt never clouds his vision nor can petty dis couragement dampen his ardor Since he looks ever steadfastly towards the sun he never sees his shadow. This is the secret of the worlds progress; this is the glory of youth. Faith and optimism are the boys golden possess son.
 Youth and Dreams.
 Nor it is not alone the idle boy who dreams. It has been predicted that he who never builds q castle in the air will never build a mansion on the ground. In other words thing that has never been conceived in the mind cannot be put together with the hands. So let youth have it's rosy dreams; out of them will spring suc- cess.
 But just what is success? The dic- tionary informs us that it is the fla vorabe or prosperous termination of anything attempted. When we talk about success then. we have in mind the thing attempted.
 Success.
  climbing to the summit of lofty mountain peak, has he succeeded, if after struggling over cliffs and through tangled underbrush, he is overcome when half way up the mountain and returns in the cool of the evening to the valley below? No, there would be failure written on his countenance. But his companion makes the foothills his destination. He sets out in the morning and re- turns before monday. His journey cost him little effort but he sue ceeded. We are not commenting him for making the foothills his aim, no more than we are condemning the other who struggled hard and failed We are simply pointing out that sue cess is q relative term. If one sets himself a task and accomplishes it he has succeeded, whatever the task may be.
 Making a Living.
 There is only one division of the field, 10 be sure. but it is the funda- mental side of ones existence. II con- cerns essentially the matter of making q living. But every man must make a living in order to be successful in life. If one has good vocation he is in d position to gather about him many other desirable things whereas failure in his occupation might in- volve, through Encouragement and lack of opportunity, total life fail ure.
