iins kept pace until now wo have us
good u High School iik may lio found
In tlio state fitting the graduates for
tlirco distinct linos of work, tlio oom

This year wo have 020 pupils attend
lug tho Hod Cloud schools out of
which number 1U3 arc uioinburs of the
Ulj,'li school.
Old Titnu Prophesy by Dan'l (Surlier
was vory much appreciated anil for
the buucflt of thoso who wore unable
to bo present and of thoso who Iuivo
expressed a doslro to hear It again we
reproduce It hero in full just us It was
delivered.
At u time long, long ago, I wn "0''
some roaaon or other nilcctcd as I'ro
lhot for a graduating cliisi of this
high school. The reason eould not
have, boon my ability, for my llrst at
tempt at prophesy dated with my
selection on Hint occasion. It inny
havo boon because of my name. Hut
.1 was not responsible for my namo.
1 will venture that my naming wasthe
merest accident. Had my namo been
.Tolm or Junius. I "might lmvo been"
as Maud Aluller said, solectcd just the
Mime. Hud tho great lilhlu l'rophets
name been Richard or William he
might have held his position In the
(treat Kecord just as well, though
"Dick" loading the llandwritingoiitho
Wall, or Mill In the Don of I.ions,
would to us, souiyl quite strango
Tho very worthy nnd courteous
president of tho school board was
solectod prophet of his class mid his
name Is more modern than initio by a
thousand years In tho olden days of
real prophets, Edwards wcro as un
known as nutomobilos or telephones.
There is a wldo, wldo gulch between
Daniel In the Lion's Don, walking
lelsurly about among tho beasts with
his cross In his hand and his prayer
book under his arm, and Edward the
famous "Black Prince" or Wales,
clothed in black armor, mounted on
black charger dashing from eastlo In
forrcst, from hilltop to vale, from
woodland to open, helping tho woak
resisting the strong. Think of It
Daniel, Ills cross tho lightest, his pray
er book tho holiest. Kdward, hisspear
the longest his shield the strongest of
any known to history. Yot Edward,
also, was a Prophet.
It Is to me u very great pleasure to
join these classmates and other mem
bers of tho alumni In this program.
It Is unfortunate that Red Clouds
most Illustrious daughter, and her
bravost son, whoso names appear on
the program, cannot bo with us also
this evening.
Prophesying has been oho of the
montal attainments of tho human race
blnco the beginning of man. Past,
present, future orgln, development,
destiny are the fiiiidamontul principles
of our being.
i Wrlttors who knew tho motives, and
lmvo fult tho moods, who have listened
to tho wall of the week the command
of the strong, thru whoso souls have
ponetrated far into tho great symphony
of human action and human desire,
who lmvo dreamed the dreams and
felt the feulings of human Intelligonco
and human pas-don, whoso great, heart
strings have vibrated In generous
sympathy with thcU fellow man.havo,
many times and oft, pictured each of
these principles in faeinating. hide
structablo vorse.
Looking hackward for u moment
there are many scenes to contemplate.
Each, all of us hold fond recollections
of tho past, which, sllhoutted on our
memory, kalaediscopo before our mon
tal vision In reverie. These aro but
tho indestructablo parts of the snnkon
ship, beneath the waters.
While a member of the junior class
of this high bohool, at tho most tur
bulent time of my youthful career, at
u time when I felt that tho last petal
of manhood was being torn from my
soul, at a time wlion I folt that all tho
idyls of chivalry wore but oft repeated
falsehood and mockery, I was sum
moned by messenger to the boarding
place of a high school teacher, who bus
long, long since crossed over. Sho
roasoned and pleaded with me that it
was sometimes bottcr, sometimes
braver, to forbear insult than to re
taliate personal injury. She knelt at
my bide and tearfully prayed that I
would then act the man of judgement
nnd not tho boy of Impulse. She
prayed that I would accept rank humi
liation gracefully, cheorfully, untlliich
ingly, stolcly, for my own ultimate
good. I left her that evening with a
calmed, boothed, transformed mind
nnd a lighter heart. That terrible
storm was cleared away, but its trail
Is as vlsiblo to mo tonight as seven.
Ttcon years ago,
Tho past though gone forevor, has
-loft upon us all, for good or for ivll,
iudelllblo Impressions which tlmo
alone cm efface,
Tlio ptosontls but the link between
tho dead past and tho unknown future.
It Is the present now tho p-ist then.
TIib ptcHiil in but the tick of the
wnlch. Shukespo'iro has well pictured
'ho present for all time In its every
form and walk of life. Hamlet. Abie
belli, King Lear. Ol hello, Komeo and
Juliot, Julius Caesar, are butaccurato
ly drawn word pie' tires of human
nature in both It.s most elomeiitaty
and Its most complex state.
As the pictures of real llfo are being
hurrlodly thrown upon the curtain of
the future, lotus tarry just n moment
between acts and putidur. Here wo
soo a great mass of Immunity, seeth-
Ing-Murglng, coming-going, laughing
crying. )t ay lug-cursing, grasping-losing,
running-walking, clicering-scoll'-log,
rising-dicing. Tho blossom of
youth-the wrinkles of age. It Is but
the continuous enactment of Hies old,
old tradegy, the survival of the llttost,
tho establishment of the strongest.
It was probably while contemplating
Hits scene that the poet wrote In faei
nating truthful words:
"O wliy Mliorilil tlicKplrltol nmrlnl ho promt?
Mkcnuwlft HyliiK nmlcor, a (ant ilyhiB
floiul.
llrtHliofllif llKhtcnliiK.il hunk otitic wim-,
.Man ihihicm from lite to his i iwt In thu rii r.''
Take prophesy out of our daily con
versation and the verb "will" n most
frequently used word becomes obsolete-pusses
out of uso. At least one
thlid, probably one hair, perhaps nine
tenths of our speech is lost and a great
black wall looms up to overshadow our
happincH. l'or '-llowcan wo bo con
lent today and think not of tlio mor
row? Someone has said,
"To live In tho past Into fossilize,
To llutln thnprcM'iit Ih to minimize.
To live In the future Is to miiturallze."
The capability of logically seeing
fur into the future, of doingthat today
which can be continued well tomorrow,
of thinking that today which can be
materialized tomorrow, is tho vory
mainspring of human energy, the cli
max of ambition. All successful men
are but true prophets, great men but
great prophets.
Each epoch hi history is but tho bio
grapliy of thinking, reasoning, far
seeing ineii. and, uever did that vital
time arrive when a man was needed,
but that some tinforseen hand, some,
guiding star, ushered upon tho btage
of action a niiiii of judgoment. of
courage, of character, or a woman of
wit, of virtues, of intelligence, who
steered tlio boat or.anohorod the ship.
Lord Wellington sot his bayonets on
the Held of Waterloo and saved the
world to legetlniate history. Harriet
lleecher Stowo set her stylus In de
fense of tho negro and was ono of the
very ablest lieutenants in tho causo of
Abraham Lincoln. And so on in hun
dreds of groat cases millions of lessor
ones.
The great prophets . aro meroly
monuments set for the guidance of
succeeding generations. Tho willow
ly falso prophets who shifted from
principle to policy, from policy to
craft, as the grass blado bows to the
breeze, are forgotteu-tlielr graves lost
in tho weeds.
Tho great prophets of Interest are
but those balanced minds who stood
steadfastly to prlnclplo in tho times
and circumstances in which they
lived. Had there, been no Hood there
would have been no Noah. Had there
been no commercial awakening there
would havo been no Columbus. Had
there boon no slavery there would
have been no Lincoln. Had there
been no railroads there would have
been no Harriman; and, had thoro
been no Harrlmans there would lmvo
been no Uoosovelt. War develops sol
diers, rn volution develops statesmen,
peaco develops industry, merchants,
mechanics, f armors.
Noah foresaw the Hood and bulldod
an ark-to shelter tho dove that found
the olive branch. Christopher Colum
bus reasoned that theso waters had
settled In spherical form and bullded
a ship that added a whole new world
to tho kings domain.
Isiah foresaw a spiritual kingdom
bulldod in tho Sovorlgn Rights of the
Almighty. Washington, Jefforson,
Hamilton, foresaw n temporal king,
dom bullded In the sovorlgn rights of
tho pooplo.
Ezokiul foresaw the wrath of God
upon tho lulquitlesof the Jow.s. Abra
ham Lincoln forosaw tho devastation
of the sword upon tho iniquity of slav
ery. Saint John foresaw n Holy City, a
new Jerusalom iu the skies. Plato
reasoned that death Is but transition'
that tho soul is immortal.
Jacob forosaw n trust iu Hod and a
city of gold. John D. Rockefeller
foresaw a trust-in oil nnd millions of
money.
Children wish, for tomorrow to
bring forth. Lovors plan, for tho fut
ure to fulfill. Mothers sing their
babes to sleep with bwootest lullabys
of futnro dteams fitted to old, familiar
tunes.
Day by day, week by week, year by
year, parcels of tho futuru aro added
to the past as tho beads of tho rosary
aro advanced In the endless chain of
prayer.
All look- forward to tomorrow for
the commencement, tho continuation,
the completion of tusks and plans.
The sun sets, the shadows fall, the
day dawns. T.oday has slipped ahoal,
yesterday has moved up.e'iiislvotonior
row has stepped IihcU with her destin
ies still uncovered.
Awav buck In the days of our fore
fathers, when a proud and arrogant
king was crushing out of existence
with burdensome IhxuIIoii and tin
wholly principles of government a
loyal but freedom loving colony, when
forebwdlngs of cruel uncertain war
swelled the hearts and rent tho souls
of many a patriot, an unknown author
a true prophet, scrawled with a leaden
bullet upon tho llyloaf of a religious
tract wrltton by JoJin Cotton or Cotton
Mather, a prayerful, pleading pro-phesy-a
lofty foro cast of the ultimate
end of destiny. Starting out, "Thoro
will be battles anil America shall bo
free," then abruptly changing, con
tinued: Wilt t lion Mive the people?
)! dud of mercy when,
The people Lord, the people.

Sixteen years ago another class of
ten in number occupied this platform.
That was the first class to graduate
with complete conventional program -salutatory,
history, prophesy, valedic
tory. No class ever lookod prouder or
felt bolter. All succeeding classes
have been but Imitations of the first,
original We sat clustered upo
stage, a troup a wholo show of out
own. Wo could make no charge for
tickets and secure an audience. Wo
could afford to Import no great,
smooth, polished orator to stand bo
foro us and soar high iu ethcrlcal
utmosphoro among the sprites of tho
daffodils and daisies, in the song of
rippling brooks and greenwoods, In
legonds of shamrock and blarney
stone; to interpret to us thu murmur
of tho tall pine tho silence of tho
mountains. Nay, we could not even
produce a local orator who would
gracefully and digniflcdly present us
our diplomas and eloquently tell us to
get married.
We each spoke our own piece. Ad
miring friends threw Mowers at our
feet. Our mothers kissed us in loving
approval. Our teachers bade us fond
est, wishes, tendercst farewells.
It was thus in the iniiocense of our
youth, In tho llugshlp of our hope
that wo sot sail, littlo dreaming of the
smiles, tho laughs the sighs, the tears,
the joys, the pleasures, the triumphs
tho rocks, tho reefs, tho heartaches, a
cold practical world had in store
liiii'kwaril, How backward, u! tide of the
yearn,
I'm weary of tolls I'm weary of tears,
ItilckxMird, turn hackwuid, ()! time In thy
HlBlit,

a long dreary week, with all tho allllct

The original prophesy closes with
the words of an old behool song, only
two verses of which have been pro

that Cicero must have gotten inspira
