 HIGH SCHOOL DAYS
Midyear Glass of AS Members Is
 Presented With Diplomas

Graduation exercises were held at the Senior high school last eve- hing, with Patrick F. King, chair man of the school board, presenting the diplomas.
 MT. King, in a short address to the graduates, spoke of the mingled feeling which usually accompanies the graduation from high school. While. on the one hand, it means the severing of the bonds of active friendship between the members of the class, 1t means the passing of another stage in the course of the lives of the graduates. Success will, to d great extent, depend upon the way spare time is spent, Mr. King said. He paid touching tribute to the memory of the late Rev. Howard A. Walter who was one of his schoolmates in high school, and as a conclusion to his address he recommended close adherence to the morals of one of Mir. Walters poems, My Creed" as follows.
 T would be true. for there are
 those who trust me:
 I would be pure, for there are those
 who care;
 would be strong, for there is
 much to suffer;
 I would be brave, for there is
 much to dare.
 would be friend of sll--the foe,
 the friendless;
 I would be giving, and forget the
 gift:
 would be humble, for I know my
 weakness:
 I would look Up, and laugh, and
 love, and live"
 The processional, March of the Priests" from "Athalia," by Men delssohn. was played by the Senior high school orchestra, directed by George F. Matthews. AS this was played, the members of the grad uatng class, with Sophie Mikelaus- kas and Geraldine Curtin, juniors, as marshals, marched down the right aisle and took their places in the front rows. Invocation was of fered by Rev. Gustav H. schneck. pastor of the German Baptist church, which was followed by song, The Heavens Are Telling" Haydn, by the Senior high school chorus. A violin solo. ''Romanza Andazula," was played by Nunzio Agnelo, a member of the graduat- ing class, and this was followed by an overture, '"The Four Ages of Man,' by the Senior high school or chestra.
 L. P. slade, principal of the high school, presented the graduating class to Mir. King, who after his address, awarded the diplomas to A members of the class, the diploma of the 18th, Eva Krcchevsky, being taken by Elizabeth Lillian Stein. Miss Krechevsky, although present at the exercises, was unable to go forward for her diploma because of an injury received in an automobile accident.
