| marching Of patriotic organizations,
with the beautiful ritualistic SER
| vices of the G.. A. R., w. r. c., and
American Legion, carried out at the
/ cemeteries of the twin cities Me-
mortal day here was most impress
lively observed Owing to the fact
that the schools had been closed
last week because of scarlet fever,
not many school children marched

hall, and marching to Malta were
joined by the CCC men and officers,
and proceeded to the Malta ceme-
terry for the exercises there Re-
turning here to the public square,
the march was continued to the Nc
Connelsville cemetery, where the
exercises were carried out. Messrs.
A. A. Coulson and J. L. Benjamin,
both residents of Malta, gave the G..
A. r. ritualistic services at both
cemeteries, and were the only SOL
diers of the Civil war present.
However, when few years ago
there were hundreds of them from
whom to select those to have the
part now taken by Messrs. Coulson
and Benjamin, it was never more
impressively carried out, than it
was by these two honored soldiers,
and outstanding citizens, Mr.. Coul-
sons fine, clear, speaking voice
his every word, so clearly enunciat-
ed, being heard by the large num-
ber assembled at the cemetery. Fol-
lowing the G.. A. r. services 9TH

parts. Selections by the band at

ner,' and there was the singing of
America. Ministers having a part
were Rev. Alvin N. Grove and Rev.
T. E. Leonard. The salutes were by
Wagon Company, and taps were
sounded at both cemeteries.
In the line of march new pa
triotic organization appeared. We
refer to the Sons of Legion, which
was organized few weeks ago. Be-
sides the two Civil war soldiers re-
ferred to, Messrs. Coulson and Ben
jamin, there are two other soldiers
of that war residing in the twin
cities, S. T. Mehaffey of Malta, and
Henry Cook of this place.
The Malconta Post band was nev-
er better, and the members of it
had a busy, strenuous day. Besides
playing at the two cemeteries of the
twin cities, they played at the sana-
! torium, and in the afternoon at the
Memorial services at Stockport and

Annual Commencement OF
M. & M. High School

Ino annual commencement Oh M.
& M. high school was held Wednes-
day evening of last week, at the
new high school auditorium. The
fact that the ban on public gather
ings because of scarlet fever in the
schools, had just been lifted, ac-
counted for the most part for the
rather small crowd.
Spring flowers were used in the
decorations, and the class members
in caps and gowns were seated on
the stage. High school orchestra
numbers, clarinet solo by Dean
MalIett, and girls quartet, con-
stituted the music. Rev. j. d. Kel-
ler gave the invocation, and the
benediction was by Rev. Paul I.
Wachs Supt. James M. Turner
presented the class for graduation.
The speaker, DR.. Robert Williams,
president Of Ohio Northern univer-
sity, was introduced by Mrs. Evelyn
True Button, high school principal.
DR.. Williams stated that he would
not attempt to show in dollars what
education means--that success
should not be measured in terms of
money-that there is difference
between what man wants and
what he needs-that we should be
satisfied with what we can success
fully use. He stated that this is a
machine and power age, but power
must not come into hands that cam
not properly use it-that it makes
vast difference into whose hands
power goes; and he spoke Of spirit
ual power along with intellectual
power. He said that the biggest
thing in the world is humanity, and
the outstanding thing in humanity,
is personality, since it is personal
ity that makes us what we are; and
to develop these powers, is the pur-
pose of education. The proper care
of the body is necessary and a good
sound mind-a mind that charts
our course along the right line; and
he said that to be successful, good,
citizens is to play the game of life
according to the right rules. The
character, ability and personality
that the present generation is build
ing into their lives is that on which
rests civilization of tomorrow. Ed
ucation, he said, should produce
good citizens; and should teach
children that within them are the
possibilities to become great indi-
viduals. "Why do we like Lincoln
the speaker said, and answering it
stated that it is because he brought
his originality, character and per-
sonality to bear upon the citizens.
To the class, DR.. Williams said, go
out and make the best there is in
you-your ability lies within your
selves-there are still places in the
world for leadership, and for sane,
courageous judgment.
Diplomas were presented by Mr..
Frank A. He'll, president of the
board of education, who in a few
fitting remarks stated that gradua-
tion from high school is the turn
ing point in young peoples lives
and an important event-that be-
cause of their graduation they will
be better able to carry on. He said
the world is not waiting for you,
but it is waiting to see what you
can do for the world.
