GRADUATION ADDRESS
delivered by
DR.. Aubrey "A. Anduke
Claude o. Markoe School
June ~, 1861

guests, members of the gradual
ing class, teachers and friends:
This is an suspicious occasion
for these young people who have
completed their course of educa-
ton in this institution. Some will
continue to take prescribed cour-
ses of study in college; but for
others, this will be all the formal
education they will receive. | do
hope, however, that the latter
group will continue their educa-
ton through reading in their
spear time, because today we
need all the education and know
ledge possible in order to get
through the rest of our years.
And you cannot know what you
have not learned, anymore than
you can return from where you
have not been.
Sometimes your problems will
be blown up out Of proportions
but even then, if you will con-
tlnue the struggle instead of CIV
ing up, the reward will be crafty
ing. Like the little girl who was
struggling to up-root a weed.
Finally she succeeded. As she
held it up with a pleased express
sion, her father, who had been
looking on said, "Myl that was
hard wasn't it," Eyes, she beam
ed, And just imagine, the trouble
was that the whole world was
hanging on the other end"
All children have stages of ex-
aggeration and make-belive. like
the little fellow, who came into
the kitchen excitedly telling his
mother that there was a big black
bear in the neighbours yard. His
mother said, Now Jimmie, you
know perfectly well it's only a
big dog. Now 60 to your room
and ask God to forgive you for
telling a lie"
After a while Jimmie sauntered
back through the kitchen on his
way out of the house again. His
mother called to him, Jimmie,
did you ask God to forgive your"
Jimmie replied, ooh, yes, and He
said it was all right; the first time
He saw it, He thought it was a
bear too"
As we grow a little older, some
Of us go into what we may call a
creative stage. When humor is
added to the natural creative abb
lily of this age, invariable. that
youngster is header for the devel-
opment of an optimism that will
be useful in later years.
Speaking of creative humor in
one Of the schools here, a teacher
asked his class if anyone could
give him an example Of creative
thought. Almost Immediately a
student raised his hand. The
teacher told him to 60 ahead and
give his example. And this is the
sentence he gave, IF Julius Cea-

CAPSULE NAVY NEWS FROM APPS

The Navy has said it is prepared to take a number of ships out of mo thballs reactivate them and get ready to furnish additional transportation if nGeded,
 In testimony before Congre ss, Secret arY of Defense McNamara said, I've pro- pose to reactivate troop transport ships at cost estimated at SIS million and to provide a mi litary compl ernent of Navy pers onnel for these ships at cost of $3 million for the current fiscal year."
 He also said I've propose to increase our amphibious lift capability." This wi II involve the retenti on in the active fleet of attack transports which have been scheduled to be phased out during the current fiscal year and the reactiv- ation of other amphibious ships.
 Nineteen years ago, in the summer of lo42, a new addition to the Armed Forces joined the Navy as "Women Accepted for Volunteer Emergency Service."
 The lengthy title was quickly short ened to WAVES, now the official name of the organization which grew to a stren- gth of 86, 900 during WNII.
 Navy Captain Larry French, who is Supply Officer, was once an ace hurler for the Brooklyn Dodgers. During his tenure in the ma jors he chalked up l97 victories and forty-two of these were

 Captain French has not been idle in sports during his naval career which began in 5Q43. He teamed with IGOR Elston Wyatt to pocket the All-NavY Pacific Coast Doubles hampionship also
 Navies of the us. and 8 South American countries participated in joint anti s ubmarine warfare (ASW) training exercises last week. Joining the naneuvers were Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Urug- uay and Venezuela.
 Remember that the Freedoms Foundat- ion at Valley Forge, Pa. ,is conducting it's Letter Wri ting Awards Program in which all service people are eligible to submit letters of from 100 to 500 words that may bring awards ranging as high as $l, 900.
 The subject for lo6l is :"WHAT I GAN DO FOR FREEDOM" and the Foundation suggests than an ideal take-off point for a letter on this theme mi ght be President Kennedy's widelY-quoted exhort ta tion in his Inaugural address: "Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country."

Next week is the annual

on Washington with all of
their lovely spring hats, their

of the First State. will be
much in the foreground. Her
date book is full of banquets,
breakfasts, brunches. dinners,
receptions. suppers. teas, and
even a trip to Mount Vernon
and Arlington included, until
one would wonder just how
much one could crowd in dur

Miss Downing has been includ-

make for a very glamorous
and happy time for all.
And speaking of Washing

enjoyed the experience. They
even saw our president and
his guest. Prime Minister

interlude in the tour came
when they had lunch with Mrs.
Carroll ID. Kearns, who often
comes to Milford to visit her

few hours drive of us and
their eastern friends. The days
ahead are full for them.

that gardens are claiming the

ful tulip trees have lacked
something this season and /
