WINSLOW
Fine Baccalaureate
Sermon to Seniors
BY Rev. DOllif

The Junior and Senior classes of
Winslow high school assembled at
the Winslow Congregational Church
at the time of the regular morning
worship Sunday, and listened to the
fine baccalaureate sermon delivered
by Rev. f. S. Dolliff, pastor of the
church. The audience was very gra-
tifying in numbers. The Winslow
Church orchestra, the personnel OF
which is Donald Matheson and Char
les Robinson, violins; Allea Prescott
bass viol; George Marcia, saXophone;
Kendall Howard, cornet, ana Mrs,
Clyde Russell, organist, rendered sew
eral fine selections, and played the
march by which the classes, marshall
led by Lynn T. McCrillis, came into
the church after the members of the
congregation were seated.
Mr.. Dolliff's splendid sermon went
straight out to the boys and girls of
the classes, also bearing good ex-
anples for all the young people in
the congregation who will sooner or
later be taking their graduations. He
spoke of the evil influences that may
confront young people, and laid much
stress on the way to happiness
through living an honest, upright
lift. He advanced the thought that
although many people were heard
to remark that as there was only one
life to live, and it might as we'll be
lived in ones own way, according to
the dictates of their desires, the only
real way to a life of real happiness
and enjoyment, is to live right. Ee
governed by what older, wiser, and
perhaps better people may advise
and live SO that at any time the call
y,,ox, oo,,,a to Joa1,o f1,iC IN ~ syo
to better reward, all may be worthy
of it. Many other beautiful, jnstruc-
tive points were clearly and earnest
ly brought out by the pastor, and the
sermon was very much enjoyed by

members of the cast, and a famous

by being a Major. In connection
with this trench system, the plot
called for a chalk mine which was
designed by Cedric Gibbons, Gold
wyn's art director, and which is re-
garded as one of the most unusual
motion picture sets ever built. John
Mescan was the cameraman and his
mastery of the motion picture cam

the photography.
