I ii S THE end of our high school days draw near we sometimes wonder ,QV NPN why the last exercises are called Commencement rather than some- thing meaning The Endfl This custom started in some of the Mediaeval Universities. The first term used was Inception, Those who finished their university work were supposed to be ready to com- , I mence their life work and were incepted into it by actually per- , 'A forming some of the work or defending a thesis. Eventually, Cam- ' A bridge, one of the English universities began to use the term Com- A meneement and schools in the United States have continued to use X V this terminology. Gradually the term which originally applied only to universities and colleges has lJC611 appropriated by high schools and preparatory schools. l During the past four years the faculty has been doing its best to ' ,furnish each pupil with the best possible foundation with which to make - a good beginning either into the life of earning a living or into some '1 other school for further training. Only time will tell how successful We have been. f I Sometimes the class has not agreed with the course mapped out for , it, but at all times we were sincerely trying to do the things that would N , do the most pupils the most good. 1. There are not very many specific things that I remember my college president saying, but I do recall that he said one day in chapel, Remember, that the jobs that are worth While require Work and lots l of it. The time is past when you can get something for nothing. It is to be hoped that every one will find the thing he likes to do best, for i then, no matter how hard the work or long the hours the task will not seem so great. Next year we shall miss seeing you, but you may be assured that 1 when you leave here you carry with you our very best wishes for sue- L - cess and the best that is to be had. Q 0 -ts Sincerely, L l ' AAA I-N, B. G. LUDWIG. . 5 'Sf' Vx 9 x ' i Zi 10 x Y W , .4-1

fl HE- ? it W IKERAMOS 'Q i 5511515 can can cc an 131-cs: an A Class Poem V 0 'Q The sunshine filtered thru' the leaves, Ml l With soft and dreamy splendor, U When we first met together, , In September, twenty-four. fy V3 tsl V Of goodly number was our class, U U And to each girl and boy, t Life seemed so full of promise, Q' So full of hope and joy. at V So day by day we wrestled with i A The rugged knots of learningg A And night by night we burned the oil, The weary pages turning. Q And tho'the weeks and months went by i Our goal still seemed so far As that dim spot in mystic space, - The far-off polar star. , y And many comrades who with us, Began this course to run, I Becoming weary of the race, Have dropped out one by one. ' But to us who have gained the goal, ' We sought through bitter strife, 'Tis a rich reward for much it means i In each oneis after-life. l It means a higher better sphere For each young girl and boy, And that is why each graduate Hails commencement with joy. Farewell, for we must leave thee now, , Fairy halls and quiet bowers, ,, , 'A' But in our thoughts forevermore, A We wreathe thee 'round with flowers AM 1 1 -Robert L. Hicks. ' S4 5.1 M VN x ' I I2 RI
