To us it may seem that this com' mencement is merely the end of our high school, but it is in reality the beginning, the entering into life. Soon we shall be graduated from Logan High School. Our education has been giv' en us at the expense of the tax payers of the city and of the county. Our at' tempts and the results we have secured are probably not ,great enough to merit the costs, but it is not in high school but out of it where the effects of our instruction and the payment of the obligation we have in' curredamust- be shown. Our work in the school, both in the classwork and in the ex' tra curricular activities connected with it, should have helped us to fit ourselves for citizenship and for carrying on of the ideals of our civilization. What is education? Why is it neces' sary? It would not be necessary were it not for the fact that nations realize that they must undertake a systematic instruction of their young in order to preserve their cul' tural achievements which would otherwise be terminated with the death of their crea' tive geniuses. It was begun with the cen' tral idea of teaching youth how to live, but has since reached another significance. Education is not for the purpose of cramming unwilling hands with useless boolvlearning, but to direct the hidden qualities of these to some use. Education is not for the growth of the mind alone but the body and the soul as well. Not only is it the development of the mind to fact but also to beauty. Its aim is to enable a per' son to have the capacity to consider and solve the problems confronting him-to appreciate the beautiful-to discover and use the thoughts of the past as an aid in one's own life. In truth, education is the bringing up of an individual from a sim' ple child to a matured man and the de' veloping in the body and the soul all the beauty and all the perfection of which they are capable. Some of use, realizing that we are not fully matured and that our education, which ends only with death, is only partial' ly completed, now are prepared to go out and conquer all before us. We are young, and it is part of the nature of youth to be over enthusiastic and too confident of suc' cess. Besides the thousands who are ma' turing without the advantages of -a higher education, other high schools and colleges are turning out their masses of graduates. However our government is a complete democracy. Its future will be controlled by even the meanest of its people. We are of effect. We will aid in the determina' tion of its destiny. We will aid in the so' lution of its problems. Not only have we to thank our high school in preparing us for citizenship but also for smoothing the way for our own future. It has fitted some of us in the busi' ness courses directly for our life's work, for others of us it has laid a foundation in teaching us how to study-how to de' velop our mental capacityg in teaching us how to mix with other people, and in teaching us clean sportsmanship both as players and spectators. Therefore, let 'us discharge our, debt, classmates, by using that which is given us by both inborn ability and by education to worthy purposes- to the good of the state -to the good of our companions and to the achievement of our own fortunes.

This evening has been made possible not only by twelve years of diligent labor on our part but also by the opportunities which life has thus far afforded us. These opportunities have been made possible by you, the tax payers of this city and the self sacrifice and self denial of you, the fathers and mothers of the members of this class. It is above our poor power to fully comf prehend and appreciate the self sacrifice and self denial it has been yours to under- go to bring us here tonight. be reviewed. A career which has been filled with sorrow, joy and labor and in which we have better fitted ourselves for the problems of life. During this time strong ties of friendship have been formed which neither the battles nor the storms of life will be able to rent asunder. Our Class Will is to be read tonight, words of appreciation given to our school and the future of our class prophesied. To you, as you sit here tonight ready to review with us our past and to look on into the dimly lighted future, the Class of Nine' teen Hundred and Twenty Nine bids wel' come. CLASS PROP HECY LUCY BOWEN Fifth Honor Student UNE bright, fine day in the latter part of April, I met joe Frasch, a renowned chemist of Logan High School in the hall. I was terribly startled by his disheveled ap' pearance. Of course I knew that he was very eccentric but still that couldn't possif bly account for it all. He was raving fran' tically about some kind of a chemical soluf tion he had concocted which would open the dim, mysterious door of the future to its consumer. I thought that he was a raving maniac and that I had better make myself scarce before he became violent. But he insisted that I go with him to the laboratory and view his wonderful discovf ery. I had been told that it was always best to comply with the demands of an inf sane person so quaking and trembling with fear and apprehension I followed. I pref ceded him into the room and to my dismay he locked all the doors and windows, mean' while instructing me to be seated. Then he poured a glass full of a transparent, colorless liquid and handed it to me. I looked at it but couldn't see anything in its appearance different from water, but it had a most peculiar odor. When he told me to swallow it, I was so petrified I was afraid to refuse so I slowly raised the glass to my lips and started to drink. But I had swalf lowed only a part of it when the glass fell, crashing to the floor, from my nerveless grasp and it was only the fraction of a sec' ond before the room was swimming before my eyes filled with strange, mystic shapes and shadows floating about me in the slowf I rm un rm rm rm THE AERIAL rm IIII im rm I 28
