Graduating Exercises.

Overlooking Friday night at the grad
uating exercises OF the class OF l9zo.
The stage was beautifully decorated
with pot plants and Dorothy Perkins
roses. pink and green, the class colors.
1t was the largest class IN several
wears. Each member OF the class on
the program did his part in such a
manner as to reflect honor to himself,
credit and honor to the faculty and
the school. Rev ]. B. Turner, pastor
of the Baptist church OF Albany gave
the literary address. Mr.. Turner is
very forceful speaker and delivered
one OF the most beautiful literary ad-
dresses that has been our pleasure to
hear. His subject was, Il Challenge.
He brought out the idea that out there
in the unknown, in the panorama OF
life, as we go forth we viii be chal-
lenged on every side. How are we
going TO meet these chalenges-in a
Shrinking. half-hearted way, or shall
they be met bravely? Each challenge
met and shirkcd makes the next one
difficult; every one met with courage
strong and true and conquered makes
the next easier. One Of the beautiful
ideas in meeting the challenge, II with
in our mmost being we are steadtast
and true, with Christ our leader, al
though to outward appearance we
have lost the victory, II we remain
true to the leader then the battle will
not have been in vain, but we will
have fought a good fight. He urged
the class as they go out on the broad
field OF LIES battle to meet every
challenge with head erect, shoulders
back, ever ready to do and to dare.

months of his parents, because they
saw he was a proper child; and they

mandment" The DRIFT OF the discourse

very impressive manner.
