limes he laughed at some childish remembrance. At times his voice rose in feeble cheers as in imagination he once more led his army. At last he rose; went to his traveling case ami took out the torn and faded uniform of an officer of the Continental army, saying: “This is the uniform in whicii I won my victories. Wou'd to God I had never changed it.” and clasping it' tightly in hi3 arms, the o’d man tottered back to his bed. Wi'h the faded uniform clasped to his broken heart, Benedict Arnold, the hero of Saratoga was dead. That his repentance was sincere, none can never doubt, and when the veiled muse of justice holds the balance for the cause of equity and rght, Eenedict Arnold’s life of self sacrifice will plead so strongly (for him) that he wi'l be known henceforth not as the American traitor, but as the brilliant Revolutionary hero, who in his lifetime d:d make a blunder, performed an act of treason to his country and his own best interests. Tonight is commencement. It marks the end of our High school career. It marks the beginning of a new chapter in life. Tonight we are here as High school studentsi; tomorrow we shall take our places as men and women in a great republic. Our training from the cradle to commencement is a preparation for the broader work of life. We hope to demonstrate the value of this preparation by the manner in which we undertake the tasks apportioned to us. ¥ i To our successors we extend our sympathy and encouragement. We have worked side by side with you for several years. Your success has been our success. Your sorrow has been our sorrow. With sad hearts and memories treasured with love and kindness, we say good bye. Members of the Board of Education: We appreciate, your interest and good will. For the care you have exercised in providing efficient and sympathetic instructors, w'e thank you We hope to show our apprec'ation by the good we may return to our Alma Mater. Teachers: You have been patient, kind and sincere. You have been ever watchful for our welfare. You have given us not only instruction, but sympathy and advice. As we go forth Into the broader field of life, we realize that no effort of ours can repay you for the services rendered. We extend to you our thanks and tender cur earnest wishes for many happy and successful years. Fellow Classmates: Tonight we part. Some take one path, some another. We know that at times the skies will be overcast and the winds will blow with violence. Still we go full of hope, eager to taae up the struggle. In our darkest hours we will recall the faces cf each other and the memory of how we worked f bonder to shoulder and how success at last crowned our efforts, will give us renewed vigor. Friends, teachers and undergraduates, we bid you all a kind, affectionate farewell.
