 Seward Methodist church. An ex-
 cellent violin duet by Juanita
 Lavell and Edward Borgen, with
 Mrs. Groth accompanying on the
 piano, was then rendered, after
 which Attorney L. V. Ray, with
 a few brief introductory remarks,
 launched forth upon as splendid
 an address ever to have been del- ivered before a graduating class.
 "The World is Waiting for the Sunrise" violin solo by Juanita Lavell with June Geyer accompa- nying her on the piano, was splen- did; the Superintendent E. j.. Bath, class sponsor, dwelled brief ly upon the class, of the sacrifice of many parents that their child ren might enjoy advanced educa- tion. and of the hope that the students realize the value of edu- cation as step toward success. In ending he stated since the class of '29 had completed their course it gave him much pleasure to pre- sent the seniors with diplomas.
 The presentation of the class was then made by w. C. Erwin, director of the school board, and the presentation of the diplomas. MT. Erwin's remarks were very ap- propriate as were his individual congratulations.
 A vocal solo, "The End of Per- feet Day." was sung by Mrs Wal ters. She has a rich and beautiful voice and sang with deep feeling, the old familiar and sweet song so we'll known to all.
 The benediction was then offer ed by Reverend Galley, marking the conclusion of the impressive event. The attendance then ex- tended personal congratulations to both graduates and parents and gifts were distributed.
 Mir. Rays address follows:
 Tt was my very earnest wish that some person other than my S+lf have the honor of addressing you this evening. Not because of any failure upon my peart to fully appreciate the gracious invitation exteIlded by the graduating class of my home town high school, but because of the fixed opinion that YOU would receive better servlce and 2 better response.
 However, altho we endeavored to secure others, it has now devllv ed upon myself, to take part in yUur program, with con~iderable pleasure based upon a rather inti- mate Knowledge of some of your hign school activities and practi- ca:lY roing to school with you,-at feast being in the same building,- Sometimes hearing recitations, and 1t lllav be also possible that I have l:eaIG :manating from the assem- '':y room a few rah-rahS. But, we won't bring that up now.
 Your days of training are over. The blg game is about to be called. lie wnistle of the referee is soon tc U heard. You have had many coaches of experience and skill who .i,ve imparted to you over many years of grade and high study the details and many of the finer plays which you will use in the biggest { anne of all, ,-the game of life. When you go into action, hit the line hard. Don't tumble the ball. Get action. Up on your toes. Play clean and fast. Win fairly, it makes victory seem better.
 whatever of knowledge, what ever of experience, whatsoever of good morals, whatsoever of clean habits, clean living and clean thinking you have acquired must be your equipment with which to combat hatred and jealousy, mai ice ant spite; with such impenetra- ble armor, the blows of diversity the trials of mis- directed efforts, will have no permanent effect.
