Four shuri years have passed since We Wefe welcomed into this Academy as students During that time we have learned te love and honor this glorious old institution, established ....zss l4.--. < .-@z.-s..s E4.s- f.lz.s zzs age. for the purpose of sending out into he world men and women of high ideals and the inspiration to serve others By SO doing it will make life more worth living. We came here t0 build foundation for our future, and it is our sineerest hope that 1t will be found invincible.
 This day marks the end of our High School career. 4 day looked forward to by us all and yet deep in our hearts there is @ regret that @e must leave behind our schoolmates and devoted teachers Ii ia only fitting that we should plant here, tree, as n lasting Irememhrancr of our love for Wood stock Academy.
 You. Oh Tree. are one of Gods greatest handiworks. May We profit hy sasr example ana iH future years hc able to give comfort tO others as you give rest and shade to those who lie beneath your spreading branches. As your roots dig deeply into the soil. so may we become deeply implanted in the hearts Of our friends. As your branches steadily grow outward, may we strive towards the accomplishments of our goal As your branches grow upward may we grow t0 seek the high CT things of life
 4 the years go by and we have be- come men and women, may we rejoice in coming back to dear old Wo0dstock and find this tree grown big and won derful. as we hope to have grown in character The poem, Trees, by Joyce Kilmer. expresses best my idea of e tree:

German Workers Feel
The Loss Of COmrade
Charles E. Ruthenberg

The hardest shock comes to the
Communist movement in the
United States and the Workers
Party in particular by the death Of
one Of the most brilliant and fear
less fighters in the vanguard of
the working class. Great is our
loss One would question whether
redoubled efforts would ever re-
place him. Our work viii and must

Hardly since the death of Lenin
and the murder Of Liebknecht and
Luxembourg has a greater blow
been struck.
In behalf of the German Frac-
ton Of the Workers (COmmunist)
Party and the class conscious Ger
man workers and sympathizers
with our movement, we want to
express the deepest regret at the
loss of our comrade, c. E. Ruthen-

Public Ledger Quite
Disguised With Old
FavOrite, Kerensky

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, March s.
Kerensky hasn't fooled all of the
American millionaires. The Phila-
delphia Public Ledger gives express
sion, editorially, to the following ma
ture Judgment, based probably on the
experience of often blasted hope:
"Kerensky, the Russian who had
his chance and failed, is in America
for i two-month visit. After the
Cars downfall, he was hailed by
some Of his fellow Russians as a
Danton or a Napoleon. He was
neither. Somebody described him as
a theatrical and hysterical poseur."
Some one else noted that he was
"only dictator by rhetoric" The
whirlwind Of Bolshevism blew him
out of power and out of Russia.
Lenin and Trotsky took the place
Kerensky had but was unable : to
hold. He comes now predicting the
downfall of Communism and a
change in the Soviet state, Is that
his mission? If so, he might as well
have saved his time, his travel and
his breath. Other prophets have
foretold the downfall of the Krem-
lin regime year by year since 1917,
but the hammer and sickle, white on
a red field, remains the Russian flag
There is a kind of glacial slowness
about the DOWNFALL so often pre-
dicted for these same Soviets."

COOLIDGE SAYS
Geneva is NOW
BIG PEACE HOPE
Italy COncurs in Theft
Of Bessarabia

WASHINGTON, March g. 49, The
American Government has been con-
Quoting Informal inquiries" with
Great Britain and Japan relative to
the possibility Of a three-power agree
nent on naval ships, it was announced
at the White House today.
The tentative responses to these
inquiries have been such, President
Coolidge informed inquirers today, as
to lead to some hope of success at
Geneva next June.
Today's announcement from the
white house was in direct contradic-
ton to that emanating from the same
source last week.
Numerous difficulties, it was adj
mitted, confront the powers in at
tempting to reach such an under
standing. Great Britain has been
represented as unwilling to agree up
on limitation Of her cruisers and
other naval auxiliaries so long as
France and Italy, rival Mediterranean
rowers, We're left free to build to the
limit of their finances.

VOID TEXAS LAW
THAT PROHIBITS
NEGROES VOTING
Supreme Court Declares
Right to Damages

WASHINGTON, March S.-Dr. L..
A. Nixon, a Negro resident and
qualified voter Of FL Paso, Texas,
has just won in the supreme court
of the United States his case against
the election officials of that county,
who prohibited him from voting at
the democratic primary elections in
1924. ~ Hing Of the court, read
by justice ;.olmes and unanimously
concurred in by the other justices, de-
clares unconstitutiona the Texas
"White Primary Law, on which the
election officials based their action
in the case of Nixon and others.
The law upset by the supreme
court reads as follows:
an no event shall Negro be eli
gible to participate in a democratic
party election held in the state of
Texas, and should a Negro vote in
the democratic primary election such
a ballot shall be void, and election
officials are herein directed to throw
out such ballot and not count the
same"
Nixon sued for $4,000 damages. 1t
was the claim for damages that
finally brought ta-seSse within the
jurisdiction of the supreme court, a
lower federal court having sustained
the demurrer of the defendants, that
it was political case, and therefore
a matter for the state alone to de-
eide. In other southern states,
Negroes are disfranchised also.
