Sixty graduates Of Sank Centre
High School received their diplo-
mas at the commencement exer-
cises Thursday evening, June 10,
and closing their high school days
entered upon a career, the success
for which lies within each member.
Prof. M. ID. Mclean, Of Macales-
ter college, who addressed the
class, stated that the event they
were experiencing was the result
of community cooperation--the re-
suit Of the cooperation Of parents,
teachers and friends. He spoke to
the young folk on what people are
like, and stated that most people
are much alike, insofar as the
things they want. He said that
most people want four things, but
that they go about in different
ways to secure them. The four
things as he summed them up
were that people want to amount to
something; they want to be under
stood; they want new experiences;
and they want security.

attempt to show their Importance,
gain attention, and gain their law
full right Of recognition which the
human heart Graves. People must
have understanding, and If they do
not find it at home, they seek
friendship outside the home for
that understanding. The desire for
adventure, he stated to the class,
does not seem important now. But
many people seek adventure
through childish ways, through
gambling, drinking, and attendance
at night clubs. He stated that these
things can be gained through no
bier ways. They had had adventure
In passing from grade to grade and
that they can make all of life an
adventure through education. All
people are alike and all have those
hungers in their hearts and If they
attempt to gain those detectives in
childish ways they are doomed to
failure. He advised the young peo-
pie as test to find out how old
they are in terms of emotional ma
turity or being grown up and in
this way they would be able to ex-
perience the cravings of the heart
in a noble way. In closing he said:
'TIe that would find life must lose
it. He that would become great let
him become the servant of ALL" His
talk was interesting and appreciat-
ed by the large audience.
In opening the commencement
exercises the school orchestra UNI
der the direction Of e. Kitzberger,
music director, played the process
sional. Rev. M. L. Brann, of the
Methodist Church, gave the invo-
cation. A boys quartette, consisting
OF Raymond Berggreen, Wallace
Anderson, William Kaufman and
Othman Bromenschenkel sang
tKentucky Babe" Their offering
was a surprise and their singing
was splendid.
Dorothy Keldahl gave the Salu-
tatory as follows:
Members of the school board, fac
ulty, parents, and friends. The
class of 1887 Is just another grad
uating class. You might say it is
different, but that's merely because
YOU know the individuals. Really,
it's Just another graduating class
that thinks it's a trifle better and
smarter than the average. Smile If
you want to, but you too had that
illusion. It's common failing OF
people to think they have some
thing special, but it's one thing to
think that and another to prove It..
One must show the world or be
shown. And that's what this class,
the class of the 81 behind it is go
ing to do. Don't misunderstood us,
we aren't Dragging, but that's
really what we want to do. That's
what everyone wants to do, isn't 1t?
I've been thinking, lately, just
how it would be possible for us to
accomplish this ideal. First, we
must plan SO that our efforts will
be directed in the right path, and
not hit and miss, and at odd inter-
walls. Second, we must work, work
hard. But most important Of all we
must study. Study to develop our
minds SO that they can grasp our
problems and come out victors, on
Top.
DIR. Garry Myers has said in one
OF his recent articles, that whether
one graduates from high school,
college, professional, or business
school, one has only just begun to
study.
In this third step, we have al
ready had twelve years throughout
which you have helped us. You
who know us, know our weakness
es and have done your best to rem
edy them. You have given us guild
ance and encouragement, but from
now on we will be on our own. To-
night Is commencement for us. The
commencement Of our lives which
we alone can live.
We must give the world what we
have.
Geraldine Hansen, member Of the
graduation class, gave q piano solo,
playing a selection of her own COM
position. Her rendition was excel
lent.
