THIS offers you a simple
scientific test - one judged
a most remarkable dental test.
1t will produce brilliance and
whitencss in teeth you do not
realize they have. 1t will i'm
prove your gums.
Run your tongue across your
teeth, and you will feel a film
-. a viscous coat that, covers
them. 1t clings to teeth, gets
into crevices and stays. It abb
serbs discolorations and gives
your teeth that cloudy, "off-
color" look. Germs by the mil
lions breed in it, and they, with
tartar, are the chief cause of
pyorrhea.
Tooth troubles and gum
troubles now are largely traced
to that film. Old-time methods
fail in successfully combating it.
That's why your teeth remain
dull and unattractive.

TREE GRAFTON

Four years ago when we started our
high school education, graduation
seemed to be far distant; but now
that we have reached that point, the
course seems 70 have been very short
indeed. and il is with sorrow that we
leave.
For some the years spent here have
meant hard work against great odds
FOR some they have meant less work
for the same honor, but for all they
have meant the formation Of friend
ships which viii last through life. We
have formed friendships not only with
individuals but with this old Academy.
We therefore dedicate this tree to keep
this friendship alive and to make Il
grow as the tree grows.
Holmes said, when we plant a
tree we are doing what we can 20
make our planet a more wholesome and
happier dwelling place for those who
come after w II not for ourselves"
We plant this tree for this purpose,
but we also plant il as an example to
be followed For. in one sense we are
branches Of a tree, with the instruc-
ton and guidance received here as our
roots, the class Of 1928 as the trunk,
and the deeds we do and the distinc-
tion we win as our leaves.
As you, O tree. extend your roots
into the moisture and richness Of the
earth, may we use our roots to obtain
the highest and best among our fellow
men.
AS your branches grow teach as "a
/ have a desire for more and better
T things so that our leaves will increase
[ In number as your leaves grow witt
the size Of your branches.
Your duties, dear tree, are many
Help us 70 remember our teachers here
and especially Miss Drake, our honor
airy member, and help us 70 realiz'
what her companionship has meant 4
lus. Although we perhaps do not fully
appreciate her help. she has found q
place in our hearts which she will al.
ways hold.
We shall always look upon this tree
as an inspiration 10 make the best use
I possible Of the education Woodstock
Academy has given us. May we 20 out
as others have gone before as and add
new laurels 10 her name already made
famous.
And now as we are Launching on
the sea Of life most Of us do not know
into what part Of the world we may
drift. but each one OF US hopes that he
may some day return TO Woodstock. sit
beneath this tree, and gaze upon this
old institution. No matter where ev-
eryone Is. each one will give thanks
that he has been educated al Wood
stock Academy.

vALEDIcToRY ADDRESS

We are now on the threshold Of our
graduation, and as we look back over
our four years work we realize that it
is not the facts themselves which we
have learned which are important,
but only their application TO our pres
ent life.
This Is apparent If we take the
poems, literature and grammar stud
led in our English department and con-
slider them from this point Of view. We
see that these are not important In
themselves. but IL we use them TO make
our lives fuller, nobler, and more soul
satisfying, Il is indeed worth while
and the four years have not been
spent In vain | can best express my
thought by expressing Emerson, who
says, when a mind Is simple and re-
ceives divine wisdom. then old things
pass away--means, texts, teachers,
