THE ANNUAL Rr A TRIBUTE TO THE COMMON MAN. ] ■■■ ARCHIE NIXON.. Oft are sung, and loud the praises Of the soldier brave and bold. All of the heroic phases Of his grand career are told. tv, Of all this he is deserving, For he surely paid the price, While his country he was serving, Made he many sacrifice. 1 would praise the common man, When in the jolts and jars Of life, he has the grit to stand And nobly bear his scars. The fight is spurred by bravest deeds And by the cannons roar; The worker, by his family’s needs And the wolf at his door. The soldier you may say is brave, And this is rightly true: But show me what kind of a knave, Will rob a slave his due? For is not life a battle field, Adversity the foe, Must he not strong his weapons wield, If through this world he ' d go? Then not alone on soldiers brave, Let us our plaudits shower; But drop with reverence on the grave Of the common man, a flower. - 15 - -

THE ANNUAL The annual spring concert was given in the First Congregational Church on Friday night, April 29, 1910, to a good and appreciative audience. The chorus of nearly 200 voices made the building ring with the music that had been studied during the year and, together with a miscellaneous programme of vocal and in¬ strumental solos, male and mixed quartettes, and a reading from Julius Caesar, the whole affair was a splendid success. Music will also be well represented in the commencement programme. We wish to thank Mr. Leppo and his assistants for the consideration they have shown us while we were preparing this paper. Many times we have been in their way and hindered them in their work. These people have work to do, and the fact that they looked upon us with so much charity gives us reason for gratitude. We wish to acknowledge our indebtedness to our Advisory Board, Miss Feld- ner and Mr. Marting, whose material assistance has been of such great value to us. Miss Feldner has served in this capacity for several years, and has been a great help to us. The staff is indeed to be congratulated on obtaining one so com¬ petent as Mr. Marting. Having had experience in this line of work before, he has been an excellent critic and at all times a willing assistant. To Mr. Beckett and the commercial pupils who have so kindly assisted in typewriting the manuscripts, and to all teachers and pupils who have taken an interest in our work, we extend our hearty thanks. We are grateful, also, to the business men of the city who have aided us financially by giving us their adver¬ tisements. - 14 —
