Vage'lT commencement Commencement—the act of com mencing. Not only to the high school and college graduate does the word mean So much, but to everyone who has an aim or an am bition to accomplish something that is of merit, does it mean opportunity. The graduate terms this event of Commencement as a time when degrees are conferred or diplomas are granted--but is that all? It certainly is not. It is the beginning of the path to success. Those Seniors of the class of 1928, standing between a happy past and an unknown future have not reached the end, but the Commencement of their lives. And what those lives Gre to be depend in a large measure upon the found ations they have been building for them in high school. The ©vent of Commencement is a stupendous time. It is, for the graduates the Omega of their school days, the Alpha of their larger life. It is the beginning of a harder fight, the beginning of a longer and more strenuous course. It would seem that this is the end—the jumping-eff place-the leap in the dark. But as thej reach it, they glimpse a vision of the future nd see th t it is the end, but the first end, rather than the last--the Commencement of a more real and complete life. Therefore, this is not a time for classmates to be sad. This is the time to be glad and grateful for the greater opportunities for activity thrown open to them. By Frances Harringtor. (cont. from pg. 12 ) I see a room filled with mechanical apparatus. At a large tabl is seated a man, an inventor—It is Frank Burke. I see a large room with shelve of bottles and boxes. Oh, yes. I see. It is a drug store, and the name on the door of the private office? Alden IPrause. CALENDAR FOR NEXT YEAR Thurs. August 30—Registration and Purchss of Texts by Rural upils. Fri.

The afternoon will be devoted to inspection and dedication exercises by the Local Board and State Department. In the evening special speakers will be had and a band concert will be given. Mrs. Allen will have charge of Journalism again with Miss Judd in charge of debate and public speaking with Mr. Paul Harvey for boys and Miss Elsie Zimmerman for the girls, in work in physical training.
