COMMENCEMENT ADDRESS
WAS A. VERY GOOD ONE

Taking as his subject Golden
Keyes to a Worthy Future" DR..
Edgar Tulloss, president of Witten-
berg college, delivered a splendid,
eloquent, commencement address
Monday evening to the M G NJ
graduates The exercises which
were held in the opera house, were
but fairly well attended The
speaker was introduced by Mrs. Ev-
elyn True Button, high school prin-
cipal.
The first golden key the speaker
mentioned was Strive stating
that those succeed who strive;
those who do not. fail, since there
are no bargain sales on the counters
of life. The second golden key was
Study" Keep on studying, he
told the class, and though all might
not get to go on to college, they
could get college training through
study and reading; study to learn,
he said, chow beautiful is book. -
The third key he called Sing" The
world needs songs, those who can
sing about ther duties, and unless
pleasure is found in work, they will
never find it. The fourth golden
key to a worthy future was Serve"
and without this key there was no
opening the door of success-ser-
vice to those about them and to the
world in general. The other golden
key which he called the final key,
he termed "soundness of the SOUL"
and it is through the teachings of
the "Great Teacher" the Christ,
that the soul finds its strength, and
when He said follow Me-" He
meant to be like Him
Supt. J. M. Turner who presented
the class for graduation, called at
tention to the honors that have
come to this class The members of
the class, in caps and gowns, were
seated on the stage, and as he call
ed the names of the honor students
they arose. First honor went to
Mary Wickersham; second honor to
Eunice Maier (both from the coun-
try districts); third honor to Vir-
ginia Mick, and fourth to Dean Cal
land
Mr.. Ralph Baker, member of the
board of education, presented the
diplomas, in worthy timely ad-
dress He stated that the class had
been striving to get power. but went
on to state that power if not used in
the right way is destructive, MAX
ing his comparison with the driver
of a high powered automobile on
the road paying no heed to the traf-
fic signs and signals, and usually
ending in disaster. He made the
comparison to the class, and said
when they come to a dangerous
crossing or curve, Or are about to
skid, they should stop and listen,
and heed the warning. He caution
ed the class to follow the right signs
and heed them; otherwise they will
get on the wrong road which leads
to ruin and destruction.
The stage decorations were spring
flowers, and were the same as for
the night previous at the bacca-
laureate services.

rection of the music supervisor of
the schools, Mrs. Twyla Edwards,
