Katherine Ibrook Eaton SALUTATORY ceive bread from Englandg bitt they love the English Shakespeare. for in Germany more of his plays are acted than in any other country. At this time I consider it a duty and a privilege to make some mention of those who have performed so large a part in our education. Doubtlcss you all know to whom l refer: the teachers. 'llo them wc owe a debt of honor and gratitude for their patience, perseverance, and sacrifice. At times we may have thought them severe and exacting, but now we realize that it was for our good, and we appreciate their efforts in performing such a duty. Un- doubtedly, were it not for their efforts, now that our career in the public schools is at an end, wc could not carry with us such pleas- ant memories of the days there spent. - O O Diploma List, 1916 College Course Marguerite Allen Eaton Mary Josephine Gately Blanche Boyce Greenleaf Beriger F.

Salutator- . GLADYS ORR LADIES AND GENTLEMEN: I E ARF: gathered here this evening, as has been the custom in former years, to observe the graduating exercises of the class of nineteen hundred and sixteeng then class extends to you a most cordial invitation to par- ticipate in the joy and happiness of the occa- sion. Wie hope it will be a pleasure to all, espe- cially to the graduating class who, after these years of perseverance and study, are to pass from the High School. Some will pursue their studies further, while others will enter into the activities of the world in general. But whatever our pur- suits in life may be, there are many ways by which we may retain and enlarge our education. The public libraries, the daily press, and a general ob- servation ot what is going on in the world around us will tend to increase and multiply our knowledge. The lessons we may gain from these different sources will depend a great deal on the way in which we apply the education which we have received in the public schools. Our motives may be en- tirely sellish and grasping, even though legitimate: or' we may be broad-minded and charitable, striving always to promote the principles of justice and righteousness, so that these uprisings, wars, and turmoils may speedily pass away, and happiness may reign with peace on earth. good will to men, i There is an old saying that the pen is mightier than the sword, but is it not the power that guides their wielding that makes either one effective? The sword under the direction of a Napoleon stamps its message of mightg the pen guided by the mind of a Shakes- peare leaves an inspira- tion which is ever new. Shakespeare ' d i e d many years ago, yet his writings are still classed among the greatest of literary productions. and exert a mighty intluence over the minds of men and women all over the civilized world. This is shown by the tact that this year we celebrated 2 the three-huntlredth an- niversary of Shakes- peare's death. In many cities of the United States there have been Shakespearean plays acted in honor of his anniversary. England has boasted that she would give up her lndian possessions. which were 'gained by the sword, rather than Shakespeare, emblem of the pen, who binds the .Xnglo-Saxon race more strongly together than any sword ever did. Carlyle has said that the ulndian Empire will go, at any rate, some day: but this Shakespeare does not go. he lasts for- ever with usg we cannot give up our Shakespeare. XYhat military or naval herohas ever been so universally celebrated as Shakespeare has been this year? Even Germany with her Hymn of Hate would not give up Shakespeare or his plays. Ger- many's people would starve rather than re-

Valedictor MARGARET PERRY LADIES AND GENTLRMEN: ONIGHT we pause a moment for a glance into the past and the future. and to ask ourselves what in life is really worth while. f'The worldly hope men set their hearts upon, Turns ashes-or it pros- persg and anon, Like snow upon the desert's dusty face. Lighting a little hour or two-is gone. This is just as true now as when Omar wrote it eight hundred years ago. The individ- ual or nation that works for material prosperity alone is building on sand. Vife have an ex- ample of this in the war that is now going on. It is true that Ger- many has developed the 4 greatest efficiency that l the world has ever seen or may ever see again: A the Kultur that has been her watchword for so many years. But the individual has been sacrificed to the State. Germany is one big, efficient machine in which the gov- ernment does the thinking. Our govern- ment is made by and for the individualg theirs thinks only of what is good for the State. what will bring greater efficiency: In the Fatherland efficiency is attained through a multitude of laws which tell the people what they may or must do and what they may not or must not do. And here we can learn a lesson: the laws are obeyed. All over Germany are little signs which read Verboden'l Cmeaning Forbidden J. There is a finality in the word. Any action barred by Verboden cannot be carried out. Then, too, a laudable example of the efficiency of the great machine is shown in the fact that in all Germany there is not one poorhouse, not one orphan asylum. Everyone is kept track of, catalogued, from the time of his birth, and if it is necessary, provided for. This is one of the many things their Kul- tur stands for. The dictionary defines our word culture as the enlightenment and discipline acquired by mental and moral train- ing. Neither individ- ual nor nation can be truly successful without that moral training, together with etiiciency. England is an example of this culture. But while England has cul- ture and philanthropy, the greatest poverty in the world exists in London, for all the land is owned by a few rich. This makes a large, helpless, depend- ent class, in which is warning for us. Another example out of many that could be cited of her lack of efficiency is the fact that there are one million able-bodied men en- gaged in doing the clerical work of the army because of the red tape-all reports are written in long hand for they do not use our efficient shorthand. - XYe, as a nation, need more of the effi- ciency of the one great nation and of the culture of the other both in our schools and in our government. In education in the old days. culture was the main thing thought of. The children
