I ill V V. 1 11 '.a ; mat ion proper ,,r it was then that the thirty-live v u:ir men and women received ' tl:eir diplomas and completed their school careers. When the large double doors were rolled back, disclosing seated on the stage members of the class, together with the speaker, a part of the Hoar 1 of Education and the faculty, u joy ous wave of applause swept the audi torium. When the applause bad died away. Rev. A. V. Hunter, pastor of I he First Methodist church, sterped forward and with raised hand asked silence while he invoked the bless ing of Almighty Coil on the class, jiist about to enter upon the world's Ltern activities. He was followed by Miss Helen Roberts, in a piano solo, "The Last Hope." So well was this rendered that spontaneous ap plause came from all parts of the house. Mis Roberts, who is a "mem ber of the class, is a favorite with the music loving people of Platts mouth and her appearance is always heralded with pleasure. The Misses Gladys and Goldye Kaffenberger, also members of the class, favored the audience with a vocal duet, serenade, "Spring Time." These excellent singers were likewise greeted by a tumult of applause. Introduced by Superintendent G. E. DeWolf, the Rev. Leon 1). Young, pastor of the First Presbyterian churidi, at Lincoln, gave the address of the evening, choosing as his sub ject. "To Have and to Hold." He spoke generally of life and it3 "worth-whiles." dealing first with the period of childhood the boys and the girls advancing to youths when as young men and young wom en their duties and obligations to society become more and more ex tended, v Finally he arrived at the middle aged and lastly the period of parenthood when the task of rearing children in paths of righteousness and virtue devolves upon every fath er and mother. Confessing to being but 47 years of age himself, he was unable to quote from his ripe fund of experience in the period of old, age, but which he averred would ... ... l U6eU' " we live thc rigni Kina or lives through the oth- er periods of human activity upon which he had dwelt. . Beginning with the little things in life, which he advised safeguarding against, he expanded to the things of more im port, but which he said must of needs have their beginning in the smaller faults. Among other well given advice, he said, "Find the best values in life, and keep them to the end; trust in God, trust in yourself and -trust in your friends if you would succeed in life." And again "Do not be afraid, have courage and enthusiasm, do things, for the world is waiting for things to be accom plished." Dr. Young declared that follow ing the settlement of this war, the world will have to be remade and the task will fall to the young peo pie of the nations, who in the next fifteen years will be called upon to perforin seemingly miraculous re constructive tasks. And the people who are now emerging from the pub lie schools and colleges of the land will be best fitted to step into these places of responsibility and climb to the top of the ladder of success. Continuing his admonishment, he said, "Gather the best things in life and keep them, for they are yours to have and to hold through life. lie yourself; be natural for by so being you will make friends and keep them. Scatter flowers along life's pathway as you go. Have confidence and do not lose step with the wori 1 or the times; keep in touch with civ ilization, for when you lose confi dence and no longer have faith in yourself, you are hopelessly lost." He said all people could make mis takes in life and "come back." but declared that to the one who is well advanced in years the task is doubly hard. Hence he would warn his listeners to guard well now against possible future mistakes in the later vcars. He advocated, in line with the words of K v. McCluskt-y in his baccalaureate address, that the one treat thing in life is the giving of unselfish service, declaring that the world will be discriminating and will readily know if our eiforts are true and genuine or merely make believe. In closing he expressed the confi- donee that the members of the prcs- " . ".' l" -- . . 1 1.1 1, t.w (tin world to themselves, to the school . . u : i u 1 1' hi v i . -j ... . ........ ..- ....... selves are members, giving them to understand that It is not until one labored twenty-five years or thnt he is able to develop the intellect to the point of attaining the i-.reatest success in life. His address was one of the most inspiring and well delivered it has been our pleas ure to listen to in a long time and ii was favorably received by the large audience. Robert Kroehler. also a graduate, appeared at the close of the address jt(, render a violin .do and was greet - od with applause, being a very pop- olar young musician of the city. To piano accompaniment by Miss Helen Roberts, he played an "11 Trovatore" selection most artistically. Then followed the presentation of the class of 1919 to the Hoard of Education by Supt. G. E. DeWolf. wbo spoke of the cost of graduation from the standpoint of work and the care parents and teachers have been to through the intervening years be tween the primary grades and the finished class of young men and voting women ready to go out into the world and make for themselves a place therein. E. II. Wescott, secretary of the Hoard of Education. accepted the class and prefaced the presentation of the diplomas with a few timely remarks In which he said the di plomas were not certificates of suc cess in life, neither werw they for mulas that would guarantee the so lution of Jife's problems, but rather a certification of their actions and acquirements thus far, and he hoped thatv in each case the pupil would mae success crown his of her fu ture efforts in life. Accompanied by Miss Roberts, Miss Gretchen Mackprang, mathe matics instructor and senior class sponsor, sang 'The Swallows, a most difficult vocal selection, in pleasing manner. The number was received enthusiastically with applause from every hand. ' Secretary E. II. Wescott appeared to present gifts from the seniors to Miss Mackprang and to Supt. G. E. DeWolf, for the part they had had in helping to perfect the class play and guide the class through the closing year of their public school career. The small package given Miss Mackprang contained a beauti ful cameo broach, and although un aware of its contents at the time she responded by thanking the students for their kindly remembrance, as did Supt. DeWolf. over the traveling bag given him. declaring he appre- ciated tioir ivio rhoice. and that he would have much use for the gift at the school in the east which' he J to attend next year. . -.

June C Postmaster General Hurleson's ord er abolish ina: the wire control board in New York and restoring the cp- tration cf the telephone and tele irranh nroterties to officials of the companies acting a agents of the government, was attacked today by members of congress, some of whom charged that Mr. Hurleson had "passed the buck" because of the thrnstpned nation-wide strike of members of the ('ommercial Teleg raphers' Union of America. Immediately after Mr. Rurleson's order was issued last night, S. J. Konenkamp. president of the teleg rapher's union, ordered a strike of members of the union employed by the Western Union telegraph com pany in the ten southeastern states and reports from the chief cities in that territory todiy showed that scores of operators as well as some clerks and messengers had quit their posts.

Washington, D. C, June G. Without a record vote and after a sham debate, the senate adopted a resolution by Senator Hitchcock, democrat, of Nebraska, providing for an inquiry into statements made on the floor two days ago by ("hair man Lodge and Senator Rorah. of the foreign relations committee t hat copies of the peace treaty were in the -hands, of parties In New York, presumably furnished, as Senator Lodge suid. by members of the American peace delegation at Paris.

Stnatorxliitchcc.ck chv.rg'-d the sub stitute would not authorize the in vestigation he proposed in his reso lution.
