Before Him lay almost one hun- dred and fifty lumps of clay. To the potters, our parents, the Miner has taken the clay to be developed into things of beauty and usefulness. T4 It has taken several years to mold this clay, for the potters realize it is . to perform an important mission in the world. Different ingredients 'rr 'd'hh1d 1fh'd'hh Ld f Q are mixe wit t e c ay an artic es are as ione wit t e utmost care A for they must be able to endure the test of years. A11 the articles are now ready for the furnace into which they are plunged. p There are bricks, jugs, crockery, and chinaware. The bricks are useless in their present condition, but after they have been baked for a long time and have become iilskf firm and hard they will be used to build strong foundations and beautiful build- ' ggi ings. Likewise the crockery and chinaware are not fit for use now but must pass through the long process of baking, and glazing before they can serve the world. Just as the pottery can be of little use until it has been baked, neither can we give much service 'to the world if we are not educated. The schoolroom is the great furnace into which we enter at an early age. The years roll swiftly by, each year bringing to us its gift of knowledge. With this knowledge also come strength of character and ideals. At last the oventenders of this great schoolroom furnace have pronounced us ready to be removed, or to graduate. Tonight as the Class of Nineteen Hundred and Thirty is gathered together, the Great Potter of all the universe looks down upon His handiwork. He loves it and wishes it to remain always as His pottery, without a chip or crack. However, if it does become broken He can reburn and reglaze the fragments and make it even more beautiful than it was when it was new. For the members of the Class of 1930 the next few years will bring the to- morrows when we shall be the workers in this great nation. We are carrying with us the knowledge and the ideals which we have received and which will have an unbounded influence on our lives. Now in the closing day of our high school career, we wish to thank all who have in any way played a helpful part in fashioning our lives. To our parents, to the Board of Education, and to the citizens of Adrian we owe a deep indebtedness but to the teachers who have worked so patiently with us through all our school years we express our sincere appreciation. We shall remember and hold dear each one of you and our appreciation will be shown by proving to you in the future that your work has not been in vain. As we are gathered here our thoughts are drawn sharply to the fact that we meet tomorrow night as a class for the last time. We regret to say Good Bye to our many friends, yet the door to the unknown future stands open and we are anxious to enter. As the Class of 1930 leaves to make Adrian proud of her, she bids the school and all her friends farewell. small, in-' 'fl if li 5 y La W l . 'if E L.. W tj U

E--L-4 th t lection. . i E a ii the beginning We are told that Arthur married .the beautifull and agccong- , y p1iShed'.GuineVere. King Arthur and his lovely queen lived in Came ot,E eau 1- ful city' built by Merlin, Arthur's wise counsellor. The King W2-t5 3 man W Om anyi one might well envy, and it was his greatest wish that his Knights of the Roun Table should live up to the noble and high ideals he set for them. To help him iii? to carry out his wishes, the mighty sword Excalibur was given to him by the Lady of the Lake. Sad to say, Sir Lancelot, Arthur's favorite and ideal knight, fell in love with Guinevere who lured him farther and farther from his beloved master s A'-'A counsel. Lancelot, instead of accepting the pure love of the fair and virtuous lily 3 id! ,.-4 1 U maid, Elaine, succumbed to the Queenis enticements. Once each year the knights fought in a joust for a diamond that King Arthur presented to the winner, and Lancelot won these gems each time. After winning the last and largest one, he presented 'them to the Queen who angrily threw them into the stream. Toward the end of the Idylls, we learn to our sorrow that through Lancelot's and Guinevere's betrayal, the glorious and ideal organization of the Round Table has been broken up. King Arthur was obliged to fight against some of his own knights, and was mortally wounded in a battle on December thirty-first. Sir Bedivere placed his beloved King on a barge draped in black, and it slowly vanished into light. A Although Arthur's dreams had fallen to the earth he was sailing into light, into a new world where there were new opportunities awaiting him. And the new sun rose bringing the new year, a new year filled with golden possibilities. We, dear classmates are the Knights of the Round Table, dear old Adrian High School, and we too have ideals to live up to in order to be true to our Order. A By thehelp of our Great Maker, our parents, teachers and friends we have been helped on the way to the far shining goal, success. God has given us Excalibur, the mlnel and Strength to reach the idealistic visions set before us, and those we our- selves Wish to attain- Many ofus, though we have tried to be noble knights, have often ' l ' ' - - . yie ded to temptation, instead of giving ourselves to true virtue, and remem-
