great opportunities for youth, he as
serted.
"After all, what is our objective in
education, and in using the machine
if it isn't to attain human progress
and human happiness" declared Dean
Coffey.
New problems arising from modern
machinery replacing men were that
of unemployment, over-production,
the gradually Capitalization of wealth
and its improper distribution. He
cited statistics to show to what ex-
tent machine economy has affected
man labor.
"Today there are more products,
more money than ever before but
where is it," asked the speaker.
These questions, and host of others
upon which he touched but briefly,
offered to the youth Of the land OPP
portunity for social service and study
in the field of economics.
AS salutatorian Frieda Voeltz ex-
pressed the class appreciation to the
teachers and parents whose efforts
made education possible. Tom Finn
gave the valedictory address, "The
Door," symbolic Of opportunity and
their willingness to make the best
possible use Of it. "For value receiv-
ed" Tom said in behalf of his fellow
classmate, eve hope to return serv-
ice."
Thirty-three seniors and fourteen
normal students were graduated.

The Marry-GO-ROund
BY Helen Rowland.

Slang, and even profanity,
through saucy, flapper-lips may
sound shocking or merely funny.
But, through firm, sophisticated
lips, it is robbed of its piquancy
and becomes plain vulgarity.
Little, thin flapper legs may
look doll-like in tight skirtless
bathing suits; but a full-grown
woman in one of these last
inch, high-water, athletic swim
ming suits resembles nothing so
much as a fresh uncooked ham
from the butchers.
A flapper may indulge in her
favorite sport of "petting" and
be regarded, at the best, as
only a cheap, ill-bred little fool.
But when a mature woman Of
80 or more slops over with this
10-cent store sentiment, she
filings away her greatest charm,
her most precious asset-her
RESERVE. And her poiSe.
She is merely ridiculous!
When Eve discovered clothes,
she discovered romance-wo-
mans most subtle weapon.
Draperies, whether mental,
spiritual or material are wo-
mans most valuable inherit
ance.
There is something about the
rustic of skirts and a fluttering
sleeve-about trails and wells
and laces and ruffleS and
chiffon-which appeals to the
age-old romatic impulse in men.
DraperieS pique and preserve;
ruffles mise; manners
charm.
Why let the flappers set your
pace and your styles-and the
time-clock for your finish?
