choose, we, who are graduating
from Waterville high school, are
inspired with a deep feeling Of Ap-
probation. dear people, for the CO.
operation and hearty support which
you have so literally extended.
Four years filled with work,
play, joys and sorrows, have passed
all too swiftly, and the first ring in
our ladder of success is attained to-
night.

ing such splendid supporters,

the ways. Each must set another goal
| and work as diligently to gain it as
we have labored in our past -four
years.
Those years have been filled with
! many kinds Of joys and hardships
Graduation at times seemed very fal
distant and often we have been dis
couraged. but so desirable was the goa
that we continued to struggle to the
end. In whatever occupation we may
be engaged. all Of us shall recall those
four years spent 50 proftably in the
w. H. S. We shall always remember
our teachers. whose guiding hands
have made our paths as pleasant as
possible.
| Graduation is one Of the most i'm
portant events Of our lives. Tomor.

flculties. but because Of our four years
here together we shall be better pre-
pared to solve these new problems"

our difficulties shared our trials,
and rejoiced with US in our tri-
umphs.
Your aid is manifested in the
athletic and scholastic achievements
of the class Of 1923. AS q result
OF your bountiful generosity. we are

LAS the representative OF the
class Of 1923, extend to you. par
ents, students, and friends, in token
of your ever-ready assistance. our
most sincere appreciation and a
most cordial welcome to our grad
uation exercises"
Miss Huard then spoke on the
subject Of Modern Poetry in High
School," Her speech was as fol-
lows:
This is an age of poetry, and
great creative periods in literature
are rare, because as Mathew Ar
mold has said, for the creation of
a master-work of literature two
powers must concur. the power of
man and the power Of the moment.
and the man is not enough without
the moment: the creative power has.
for its happy exercise. appointed
elements. and those elements are
not in it's own control
"Since the World War. many
poets have arused interest. and
their writings. overlooking with
simple yet beautiful expressions.
have surprised and attracted the at
tention Of the public. Perhaps one
of the most splendid examples of
this phase in our poetry is John r.
Rathom's The Unknown Dead:
The growth Of American life is ex-
pressed in the verse Of today. Emer-
son has said that Literature is the
record Of the best thoughts" and the
best thoughts are worthy Of careful
study. Through the study Of poetry
young peoples minds are opened to
the beauty of the world around them.
, Noticeable progress has been made
in the study of poetry in Waterville
High school this year. There could
be no better proof Of this advancement
than the poem entitled Passing 1t
On" written by q member Of this
years junior class.
1.-THE French Appeal" was the topic
of Miss Lancaster's speech in which
she made an eloquent plea for the
study of French in the High school.
pointing out the great advantages of
the language with emphasis on the
manners and customs Of France. She
reviewed the wonderful career of
Nine. Sarah Bernhard, the most
loved of French people.
The entire class entered into the
song, "Who Knows What the Bells
Say" while Waldo Edmonds accom-
panied on the bells.
Miss Cruickshanl1 spoke on 1.-THE
Development Of Commercial Educa-
ton" and told Of the great strides
made Of late years in this branch Of
secondary school education. She
sketched the development from the
original teachers of bookkeeping to
tn intricate schools of today with the
great demand for educational and
specialized help.
Earle Webster gave an interesting
talk on 1.-THE Refining Of Iron" in
which he gave in detail the manufac-
ture of iron and steel and the great
necessity Of these products.
The next speaker was Miss La

ed and sent to the ware house at

Brooklyn, N. y, as a result of the
campaign for warm clothing for the

PRAISE MINERS EDITION."
SAD Lake MIMI Reviewl

The Miners Edition" of the Uni
versity Argonaut-the official news
paper of the University of Idaho,
which was issued on the 5th instant
was altogether out of the ordinary for
a school publication. About one-half
of the eight-page, six column edition
was filled with real mining news and
articles relating to the business and
science of mining, of which the school
of mines students of the university
were the chief contributors, while
Dean Thomson and other satellites
among the faculty contributed their
mite. The technical, high-brow stuff
was cast into the waste basket, ap-
parently, and everybody cut loose in
popular newspaper style. 1t was good
work and showed conclusively that
many students in the northern univer-
sty will be able to qualify as news
paper writer's whenever occasion de-
mands or necessity compels.
