The talk given by Rev Mr.. Dunn
follows:
The undiscovered regions Of this
earth have always had a. fascination
for man. From the days OF Marco
Polo. Nasca de CANA and Christie
rher Columbus to those of our own
time has this been true In recent
DAYS we have marvelled at the deeds
OF Amundsen. Byrd. Lindbergh. as
they have Travelled some of the still
little known areas Of this old world
OF ours. Our maginations can con-
lure up all sorts Of fancies as to
what may be found when the next
south polar expedition reaches its
far southern destination. These un-
known regions are full Of interest
and attract US because they are so
largely uneNplored.
But. how much more really Won
derful are the uneXplored regions OF
our own lives? What fascination
lies in the thought OF the undevel-
oped possibilities OF your life and
mine?
No one Of US today knows how 1t
would feel to fly over the north pole
IN a great airship. or what the
thrills are as one guides his Spirit
Of st. Louis over and across the
wide eXpanse of the stormy Atlantic.
But the really amazing thing about
1t Is that each one of us has within
US the machinery that could register
the exact feelings If some day We
should do one of those things.
There lie within each OF US
houndess possibilities for feelings,
thrills, thoughts, acts. experiences
those great undiscovered aras of our
lives. our unused selves.
This graduation day we call
commencement. How strange 1t is
that after beginning your school
work nine years ago we should just
now come to the commencement
Wait moment and we will see per-
haps that it is not strange.
For these nine years you. the
members of this graduating class of
1928. have been exploring. You
have made voyages Of discovery into
the realms Of reading and arithme-
tic and algebra and history and Eng
lish and science. The machinery
within you. capable OF responding to
these school influences, has been set
in motion and such things you
know about
"Other parts of you have been In
use too Some of YOU know how it
feels to take part in play and act
in the place of some other Charac-
ter. Many of you have experienced
the thrills OF the basketball game.
Some Of you are masters OF scout
