TRUK P.T.UE 19 jngs as we have been in ours.” She advised them to hitch their wagon to a star. She called to their minds what a pleasing picture it would be to seethe Junior class trying to imitate the graduating class. They were reminded that by the sweat of their brow they must earn their daily bread. The spade' would be useful in digging through the algebraic hill of knowledge and in mining for thr ore of knowledge. The richest mines are deep in the earth and are only obtained by work. In conclusion “It is needless to explain the uses of this imple- ment in the different studies as we know that the Juniors will find it useful in every branch. The object in presenting it is that the class of Ninteen Two may be recalled by something material, aside from the example we have given. We sincerely hope that you may be as remarkably successful in all your undertakings as we have been in ours.” The spade was received by Phillip Fulton of the class of 1903. Fuels. By JensP. Jensen. At the rapid rate with which our forests are being destroyed the question of fuels is being constantly agitated. When our wood supplie is all gone a substitute energy producer must be found. Already physicists and chemists have made experiments and claim to have solved the problem. Some claim to be able to collect and store the energy of the winds, others are confident that the energy of the sun may be utilized while some assure us that the in- ternal heat of the earth is sufficient to supply all wants. Of course all this is theoretical and until practical results are obtained we must turn our thoughts to heat producers which we may still em- ploy with the greatest economy and utility. Goal produces about two and one-half times as much heat as wood per pound. Nearly everywhere it is being used, but we are already beginning to feel the effects of advancing prices. Then too,there is considerable fault found with coal because so much of it is being wasted in smoke. Again, almost daily one can read in the papers how our city governments are fighting the so-called smoke nuisance. Physicians claim that fresh air is an impossi-

18 TRUE BLUE He was given to thinking and pondering over religious ques- tions, and while alone in a retired place he had a vision. An angel seemed to appear to him and told him how a people had left Jeru- salem, and under divine guidance constructed ships and crossed the ocean landing in South America. They increased in numbers and covered the continent, crossing the Isthmus of Panama, and spreading into North America. There were two kinds of these people,those who followed Divine commands and those who refused to do so. The former were the Mormons, the latter the American Indians. The former developed a brilliant civilization in Central America, remains of which can be seen to this day. This race, as the Isrealites of old, were blessed in their obedience and chast- ened for their iniquities. The Indians made war upon them and they became extinct years before Christ, the last of them disappearing in New York State. Before extinction, however, the history of the race was buried in the hillside. The place of concealment was discovered to Smith by an angel, and after fourteen hundred years the sacred writings were recovered. The Mormons accept the teachings of Christ, and consider the teachings of the book of Mormon as sup- plementary. Miss Flynn concluded her essay with “by their fruits ye shall know them,” and called attention to what they had accomplished in a material way in subduing the western desert. Spade Oration. By Maude Dorgan. The speaker of the graduating class presents the Juniors a spade and taught them its uses in school work. First, however, she modestly called their attention to the 1'act that the class of 1902, was most glorious that ever graduated from the Hudson High school, or any other High school, or ever wTould. She said: “On an occasion like this it is customary for the Seniors to give some wholesome advice to the Juniors. When dis- couraged at any time during your course, remember with what perseverance the class of Nineteen Hundred Two struggled on, and in the end you may be almost as successful in your undertak-

20 TRUE BLUE bility in our great manufacturing cities where coal is being burned. Recent discoveries of oil fields seem now to make the outlook for a substitute of Coal and wood quite probable. By means of valves the supply of oil used may be regulated, and even shut off entirely in case of danger. The Southern Pacific railroad is using oil as fuel on its engines, and many Steamships also burn oil in place of coal. It is easily handled and less bulky than coal. Then, too, there is scarcely any waste. At present the only drawback to its free use is the expense of getting a supply on account of the re- moteness of the western oil fields. However, when pipe lines will lead it to our great cities we may soon see oil replacing coal in all of our manufacturing towns in the west. Class Song. By Saidee Cole. Air—Creole Bells.
