s. ARE GRADUATED
AT GONzAGA HIGH
Rev. Eugene J. Connolly
Warns Rosy-Hued Futures
Painted Fail to Arrive.

Warming that the rosy-hued futures
generally painted for graduates at
the time they receive their diplomas
very often develop into opposite con-
ditions of reality, Rev. Eugene. D..
Connolly, rector of St. Peters Church,
addressing the graduating class in
the seventy-eighth commencement
exercises of Gonzaga High School
last night, declared the best advice
he could give the class lay in Christ's
admonition, Seek first the Kingdom
of Heaven and all things else will be
added unto YOU"
The execution of that advice today,
Father Connolly said, could be effected
merely in being as good as one can.
and, he contended, moral success
invariably brings material success as
well.
So Are Graduated.
The commencement exercises were
held in the Gonzaga College Audi
forum and were attended by 1000
persons. A concert of orchestral
music augmented the student orationS
and addresses by the priests, which,
with the presentation Of diplomas to
So graduates and the award Of medals
of especial merit to deserving students
of the entire high school, completed
the program.
Lawrence B. McHugh won the high
est awards in the school, and, with the
medal for general excellence in the
fourth year B class, he was awarded
also four-year scholarship to George

Present-day commerce, lacking the

Professor Sends
us. Penny to Make
Debt Sum Simpler

A copper cent has been donated
by a professor of a college in
Massachusetts, whose name is
withheld, to the Bureau of the
Budget in order ito reduce the
National debt to a more eonven-
lent figure"
Judging from his letter TO
Director Lord of the Bureau of
the Budget, the professor must
have heard Gen. Lord say over the
radio a week ago at the business
meeting of the Government that
the National debt at its peak in
August 81, 1919, was SIG, ,7O1,-
64S.01. OF course the one cent
balance disappeared, or was
changed the next day, and is
frequently changing.
In offering the one cent on the
debt, however, the professor said,
IF I could do the same for the
four preceding decimal figures
should wish to do So"
