greatly miss those same six, as they
won popularity for themselves in all
lines of school work, as students, as
athletes, as musicians, and as good
school comrades.

class, was the first to speak on the
program, taking for her, discourse

ture predictions for the members of
her class, and her applause was vocif-
erous.

toriety already by her ability at public
speaking, kept the members of her
class and the audience highly enter
tanned and pleased by the presentation
of gifts.
The class valedictorian, Edgar Nc

WHAT PRICE FAME?

T JDEND0RFF demands that Won
IL Hindenburg hold on to his fame"
rather than support the Locarno peace
pact.
Ludendorff is blind to the fact that civ
ilization is changing its definition of the
word fame" The scientist who saves
life, the author who gives some great
uplifting thought, the artist who renders
something to inspire will be truly famous
Great as he may be as a militarist.
Won Hindenburg's fidelity to his promise
to give Germany peace, in defiance Of
monarchists, communists, politicians and
even personal friends, such as Luden-
dorff bids fair to endure as the most
famous thing in his long career To
bring on or to take part in trouble is
easy. To successfully take a great part
in establishing world peace and tranquil
ity in ones own country surely means
real fame.
