COMMENCEMENT
Another Successful Year   of School
Closes To Day.
A Complete And   Extensive  Program
In Every Detail.
The Parts   Have  Been  Well   Assigned
And The Speakers Are Dtservi ng Of
Much Credit For Their Noble Work.
Commencement of the class of '96 is
now a matter of history.
"By the presentation of the co veted
diplomas after Supt. Pattengill's vigorous address the last act of the commencement drama was completed.
The class of ninety-six has now reached
and passed the goal for which ■ they
have been striving.
Commencement week was inaugurated last Sunday evening by the baccalaureate address of Rev. T. B. Leith in
school hall. His subject was "The Secret of Success" and was full ofgood lessons not only to the graduates but to
all others as well. The combined
church choir furnished music consisting of two anthems.
The real beginning of commencement
Was the class day program of Wednes-
daynight and it was there where the
graduates appeared at their best. Nothing occurred to mar the symmetry of the
program and each participant is deserving of no small praise for the excellent
manner in which lie presented his part
The effect of caieful preparation and
training was everywhere shown. After a selection '•Hark the Trumpet
Calleth." by the Mozart Male Quartet
aud invocation by Rev. M. L. Marvin
Miss DOnna LaRue delivered the salutatory. Her part was short, as it
should be but it was complete. She
spoke with excellent articulation in a
clear voice that was heard throughout
tbe room. Her part is given in full.
Salutatory.
Teachers, schoolmates and friends.
We greet you in the name of the class
of ?96 and extend to you a most cordial
welcome.
Looking into your kindly faces we
appreciate the honor you have conferred upon us and thank you heartily.
We come before you to-night bound
by ties of friendship and love in a united family of brothers and sisters.
We have at last reached th-i goal for
which we labored so loug and earnestly-
The world now expects us to take our
places in the ranks of its workers and
contribute- our mite to the cause of
humanity. Each one will bave to
stand alone, fight his own battles, bear
his own crosses, and it depends on each
individual whether he comes out of
battle conqueror or conquered.
As has been said: One's life's span
consists not in the number of years ho
may live or in the riches he may obtain, but he lives longest who opens
widest his heart and lives most for the
good of others.
Life has not only its pleasures but its
duties and trials.
"Life's more than breath and the quick
round of blood;
'Tis a great spirit and a busy heart.
We live in deeds, not years: in thoughts,
not breaths:
In feelings not in figures on the dial."
The way has often seemed long and
dreary, many steep hills have had to
be climbed aud our burdens very heavy
when the path was rough and stony.
But we have bravely toiled on and now
fully realize they were only given to
prepare us for the greater ones that
await us in the school nf life. Anew
path iies before us. We know not
what awaits us in the future. But
whatever it may be let us go forth
with brave hearts and not only bring
success to ourselves but honor to the
class of '96.
"Earnestly we hope
That in a world of larger scope.
What here is faithfully begun,
■Will be completed not undone."
Never can we forget the many liappy
days of our school life. In our future-
busy walks we will look back to this
time only with pleasure for the sorrows will be swallowed up by the many
joys we have experienced.
Although we have longed for this
time, yet with all our hopes and anticipations there has been sorrow mingled
with the joy.
Thoughts of separation come to us
but it is not mine to speak of this. Our
Valedictorian will describe to you what
must be the disunion of such a family
tis we represent, for the most of us have
spent the whole of our school life together.
It is only mine to speak to you words
of greeting and again to say in behalf of the class, we meet you at the
threshold and joyfully welcome you.
Following this came a declaration)
"The Polish Boy," by Elroy B. Briggs.
He spOke this touching piece with
emphasis in most places and the whole
was given with good effect. He made
the scene very distinct.
Miss Lilla Schaffer then delivered her
essay on "Mcnuments." Her delivery
showed that she had had considerable
practice. After an introduction on
"Monuments" of wood and stone her
remarks dwelt chiefly with the monuments of character. She said in part:
Monuments.
Design marks the universe, and genius is its Own reward.
Nature is the handiwork of designs
and genius imitates and adorns nature.
The infinite Architect planned and executed the universe for man's use and
pleasure and thp furtherance of his
own design. Man's genius imitates
nature in the development of the plans
which tend to give him comfort and
leave some monument Of beauty or value as a memento or legacy to posterity
Perhaps the first thought conveyad
to our minds in speaking of monuments
is a tall gloomy stone on whose base
is carved the name of one who has
laid down the burdens and cares of this
life forever.
But this conception of a monument
is only one of hundreds. There are
monuments Of the brute creations,
monuments of architecture and of
science, monuments of hand and of
brain.
The bee builds its cell, the heaver
builds his dam, the bird his nest; all
these are marvels of the brute instinct.
*****
After speaking of the Tower of Babel, the pyramids and St. Peters Cathedral at Rome she continued.
"Grand was the plan of the Tower of
Babel, prodigious as were the designs
of the pyramids, magnificent as was
the conception of St. Peters, yet single
individuals have left monuments more
wonderful and lasting and more ennobling to posterity.
Bunyan in his portrayal of the trials,
defeats and triumphs of human life,
Milton in his description of the loss
and regain of Paradise, Shakespere in
his delineation of every passion of the
soul, have left monuments destined to
stand after these others have crumbled
in ruins.
But even these are great monuments,
we too are erecting a monument as
lasting—the monument of our life—our
character. It is a structure which
everyone is building and every act of
our lives is a stone. One eminent
writer has said, -'Many men build as
cathedrals are built,—the part nearest
the ground finished but that part
which soars toward heaven, the turrets
and spires forever incomplete." If
each day of our life we be careful to
build with only pure, upright deeds, at
the end it will'stand a fair temple honored by God and man.
Our monuments are great or small
as we ourselves make them. Each
day of our life adds some new feature
to its architecture, each day there are
myriads of forces building.
The building of character is a structure that must stand and the word of inspiration warns ns to take heed how
we build, to have a foundation that
will endure, to be sure we are building
on it, not for the hour in which we live
but for that hour of revelation when
we shall be seen as we are.
Our mind is given us but our character we make. God gives the mind,
the individual makes the' character
The mind is the garden, character the
fruit; the mind is the white page,
character is the writing we put on it.
We need not think because Ave are doing nothing great we are doing nothing
at all, for it is only little by little that
tho most beautiful and substancial
build: ng is completed. May we imitate
tti<- thought our own poet, Holmes, in
tho, story of the Chambered   Nautllus:-
"Build thee more stately mansions, O my soul,
As the swift seasons roll 1
Leave thy vaulted past!
Let each new temple nobler than the last,
Shut thee from heaven with a doom more vast
Till thou at length are free.
Leaving thine outgrown shell by life's unresisting sea."
 -*>-*-<»-	
AfW the quartet had given another
selection John R. Mitchell, delivered
an oration on "Life More Than Existence." His article was rich in thought
and his voice, clear and". strong. He presented cogent arguments for the highest type of living and described the
meaning of life to the great men of history. He said in part:
Oration.
"Life More Than  Existence"
The post Montgomery has said "It is
not all of life to live." If to live meant
simply to exist, or if man existed ns
the rock slumbers iu the motinlaiQ
side, that would not be true.
Wero the life of man like the clouds
of the sky that water the earth, like
tho lightning that rends the heavens
or the earthquake that shatters the
earth and makes it tremble to its center, like the tempest that lashes the
sea to fury and lays desolate the dwellings of man, Or like the mighty law
that holds the vast universe with its
majestic circlings, all in one grand
consummate harmony It could not be
said of that life, "It is not all of life to
live."
The animal comes into existence,
lives a few days, know neither the
source or the object of his being. He
is driven by the craving of his own
hunger to perpetuate his life. He
lives to live and his life is accordingly
valuable.
It is because of the higher powers
and capabilities that man possess that
heis called thecro wning workof creation
And if he be not the Creator's masterpiece, whence authority, and his power
find dominion? Since man has such en-
dowments does it not follow that his
lifo involves, or should involve more
than mere existence''1
Is it not tho object of each individual to make his life agreeable, first to
himself and secondly to those around
him, also to employ himself as he seems
designed to do? If not how are we to
account for the development of the
racp, why did it, not re-main in a sttjte
of gluttonous barbarism? Because of the
existence and activity ot a hiirber element in man. This element has
marked itself from the beginning The
things of nature have always been observed with much interest and attention while their beauty has moved the
thoughts of the mind' and the feelings
Of the heart and sent into vibration
those chords of man's being tuned in
harmony with it.
Primitive man beheld the summit of
a lofty mountain and was filled with
veneration; he scaled the height looked
over the precipice and was filled with
awe. He translated the waitings of
the tempest into the Great Spirit. He
saw in the stars the sparkling gems of
the Infinite. The volcano was an angry god vomiting out his burning
wrath.
Time has unlocked many of these secrets and reduced them to scientific
knowledge. All the activities of the
world seem to have taken new life and
are borne along on the pinions of progressive thought. Poor galley slaves
are no longer the panting engines of
bloody war ships. The slow caravan
that bore commodities from place to
place is supplanted by the sweeping
train. The bolts of Jupiter are as toys
aud go flashing over the world as the
messenger of man. The bowels of the
earth have been penetrated and their
treasures revealed. The sea has been
tr.aversed and fathomed and her gems
disclosed. The planets, the stars and
the sun have been brought neat* home
and made to set quietly under the scrutiny of the scientific mind. Could all
of this been accomplished if to live
meant simply to exist? *******
Three huudred years ago our fore
fathers lived in England. They had a
fair climate, productive lands and good
homes. Their social and domestic relations were pleasant, commercial priv-
iliges plenty; they had the advantages
of a high civilization and a rich literature; in fact everything that, makes a
mere existence agreeable. Nevertheless there was discontent, dissatisfaction laid hold of them, they lived troubled li"*es. When they examined themselves they found within capabilities
that were in bondage, energies that
were fastened to mere creed and formality. They saw the possibility of
pleasure and progress which, under
their present circumstances they could
never hope to attain. That which was
dearer to them thau life, namely peace
and freedom, to worship God as they
believed in him, was in prospect. They
forsook the homes of their ancestors,
breasted a stormy sea and anchored on
the shore of a savage wilderness.
There they exercised their coveted
freedom, declared their independence
and organized a government. Life to
them was more than existence.
So there might be a thousand arguments showing that to live is to give a
soul consciousness of its wings and
its power to use them, to fasten the attention upon revealed truth. Idea into which divine atmosphere man may
be lifted and become in some degree
divine."
For Homer to live was to sing the
wrath of Achillas and his strains have
been echoing down the ages tuning the
hearts of the race. For Alexander,
Cffisar and Napoleon to live was conquest, for our Father Washington to
live was liberty, peace and prosperity
to our beloved land. Life to old John
Brown was to strike the spark that
kindled into a mighty war, for Abraham Lincoln to live was to die, and
with him the earth drank in the blood
of a million men. ,For John Wilkes
Booth and Chas. Guiteau to live was to
bathe the nation's voice in tears, for
Milton to live was to interpet the song
of tho heavenly Muse of the loss and regain of Paradise, for Paul to live was
Chriot, and Christ to live wao tho redemption of the world.
