Salutatorian Marjorie James spoke
on Ambition" and Valedictorian
Florence Ayres on Achievement"
Both of these young ladies showed
excellent training and fine de-
livery in giving their addresses.
Their subjects were well taken al
though rather difficult. Both young
ladies had the audience with them
and were roundly applauded at the
close of their talks. The musical
part of the evening was, as usual,
up to standard.
Superintendent Englund presented
the class to the Board Of Education
in fine brief address and the same
was accepted by President Olds,
who spoke very feelingly and
proudly of the excellence of the
class. It was very evident that the
audience coincided with the speakers.
State Auditor Ray P. Chase was
the principal speaker and delivered
a masterful address on ''The Public's
Greatest Asset" He intermingled
his talk and began with several
flashes of humor that put his listen
ers in the best of condition for the
reception of the points which he
hammered home with enthusiasm.
His talk bore on the taxation prob
lens as regarding education and he
touched on nearly all the phases Of
industry as related to this great
state not forgetting the tourist in
dustry which he characterized as
one of the leading ones in a few
years and cataloging them as farm
ing, manufacturing and tourists.
He divided his talk into three parts
citing the ambitions of our fore
fathers>upon leaving the land of
their birth to this country. Mr..
Chase is rapid-fire speaker with
fine choice of language and a
large fund of humor.
Leo P. Dahl was awarded the
achievement medal annually pre-
sented by the American Legion tol
the most outstanding boy in the1
school and Miss Ann A. Merhar was
