alutatorp AWAY back in eternity God purposed, in His heart, a great purpose. It was to make our little world. The thought of it brought great joy to His heart, and it brought great sorrow, too. But. looking beyond the few thousand years this world would remain in sin, He saw the riches it would bring to Him; so He made it. At the end of creation week, as the earth lay in full glory, a glory which is found only in the yearning purpose of the heart of God, He called the heavenly host together. They looked upon His work, and the record is, The morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy. Upon us. the creatures of God ' s handiwork, rests the responsibility of harmon- izing the closing stanzas of this song, with the triumphant notes which marked its beginning. Only as we understand that which caused the first joyous strains shall we be able to meet this obligation. Perfect faith in the plans and purposes of God filled the angelic host with rap- turous song. If we would join that swelling chorus, there must be an entire trust in the working out of an infinite plan for our lives. It is because we have this trust and because we have purposed in our hearts that God shall use us in the perfecting of His great plan in creation, that we stand before you tonight. Fathers and mothers, we welcome you on this occasion because we wish to share with you the joy which it brings to our hearts. When we were discouraged, or disheartened you urged us on, by your kind, loving words, and by those comforting letters, and have helped us to stand successful tonight. Had it not been for those years of training under you, our first teachers, this success would not be ours. So, to you. we extend our heartiest welcome. Dear teachers, in view of the fact that our lives have been molded for the best by your untiring, persevering labors, we rejoice to welcome you, to this, the partial culmination of our hopes. With the thought of whatever of success has come to us during these years at school, our minds turn to you. Accept our gratitude. Friends and relatives, we welcome you because life would be incomplete without you. Those ties which bind us can never be broken. You have put joy into life, for friendship improves happiness .... by doubling our joy, and dividing our grief. We gladly welcome you. Juniors and fellowstudents, you. too. have a welcome this evening. You have helped us. You, perhaps, have looked to us for examples and by so doing have made us strive the more to give you an example, the results of which we should be willing, always, to face. Our message is Strive, and hold cheap the strain; Learn, nor account the pang; dare, never grudge the throe And so, in behalf of the class I welcome every person here tonight. We have reached one goal in the fulfilment of our hopes, and this evening, our last oppor- tunity for united endeavor is to us an occasion of great joy. And as you enter into our joys with us tonight, with your prayers and good wishes, enter also into our hopes and desires that this maybe the beginning of years of greater usefulness and nobler endeavor. Sanford Horton Ulmer.

ertitce if- -i Service — what a wealth of meaning; Service — who can understand? With what high endeavor teaming; Fraught with Christ ' s own heart and hand. Years ago in old Judea, By the shores of Galilee, Did our Saviour work and labor, Seeking sin-sick souls to free. Then we see on that hill yonder, Crosses three are raised to view. On the high one hangs our Saviour Dying there for me and you. Thus our Lord fulfilled His mission; Then came life, that we might live; And to us, the great commission, Go and labor; work and give. And tonight we hear the Saviour As he says, Go serve today — Yes, go serve Me in my vineyard; Work, O work, do not delay. Then the answer swiftly follows, Here am 1, O Lord, send me ; Just to serve Thee every moment — This our prayer ascends to Thee. BeRNICE HOLLISTER.

l etros(pect anb Sims; Our president ' s history began on November 15, 1901. We conclude that his experience must be rather broad, for his life thus far has been spent in about twelve states. Frederick E. Fuller accepted this message four years ago, in Pensacola, Florida. His energies were immediately directed to obtaining a thorough education, and he chose Southern Junior College as a school well fitted to give the training he desired. Fred heartily approves the standards and ideals for which Southern Junior College stands and has upheld them during the four years he has attended the school. He was graduated with the class of 1921 as president. Since then his time has been devoted to stenographic and printing work at the school and elsewhere. Fred has a love for literature and purposes to become an editor of one of our periodicals. We see in him those qualities which will bring success in his calling, and are glad that his worthy talents are consecrated to the Lord. Cecil Frank Graves was born in Kansas, on December 27, 1901 . The influence of five years in that state, two years at school in College View, Nebraska, and the remainder in Tennessee have shaped his life. Cecil ' made CoUegedale his home in 1918, and has remained true to it ever since. Under the press and the roller. Into the jaws of the mint, Stamped with the emblem of freedom, With never a flaw or a dint; Oh what a joy the refining Out of the damp and the mold And stamped with a glorious image. Oh. beautiful coin of gold! We should not be surprised to find Cecil as a missionary in Africa some day, for he is leader of our African band. There is a beautiful spot nestled in the hills of middle Tennessee which holds fond memories for our beloved secretary and valedictorian. It was on a sunny day in May, when a little log cabin welcomed the birth of Masle. As a child, she had a quiet, shy disposition, nevertheless, she spent much time playing with other children. Nashville claimed nine years of her early life, which was spent in church school. We give Professor Wood credit for persuading Masle to come to Southern Junior College, when it first started in 1916. After remaining at CoUegedale two years, the church schools in Mobile, Atlanta, and Jacksonville, took four years of her services. When school opened on September 12, 1922. Southern Junior College claimed her again, But selfish it would never be. So, back she goes to fill the world ' s great need. Two years ago we welcomed to our midst, Mildred Dorothy Emanuel, a child of Virginia ' s Blue Ridge Mountains. While Mildred was yet quite young, her parents died and she was then placed under the tender care of her aunt and uncle, residents of Florida. Thus, coming to us, as she did from the Land of Flowers, she brought with her the sunny, happy life of a carefree maiden, whose mission, while here at Southern Junior College, has been to radiate to others the sunshine
