This wns the motto (f thirteen more
Ki'nihiutcs from the Ucri Cloud High
School lust night.
Like preceding classic many of the
graduates have grown up in t ho com
munity, and the interest was us deep
and intense as ever. A very largo
crowd was present and tho small fee
charged for admittance will net a
handsome sum for the school library.
The class of "07 lias left its own rich
ness' of tradition for the school, tra
dition geuerates loyalty anil loyalty
cm idles the school. Tho good work
of the class just passing out will be a
memory for them and a tradition for
succeeding 'Classes that will weave
another woof for tho Red Cloud High
school and, its patrons.
The subdequLnt avocations of our
graduates we cannot foretell, but in
business or profession, the best wishes
of TheCjub will folfow each of them,
and the community expects to prolit
b.v their education.
Prof. Wilson and his corps of teach
ers deserve Louoruble mention for so
successfully conducting the efforts of
these students to a successful event,
whllo both flUtdcnts and Uachors are
to he congratulated upon the very ap
propriate arrangement and execution
of the program for commencement. .
Dussie Marie Carpenter delivered the
salutatory in very excellent shape and
with good tame. Her oration upon the
question of our present standing was a
a very lair presentation of ideas held
by many luumriers of our community.
Ociiis ScliarTuit guru earnest words to
a subject which Ucsurves the attention
of students and scholars, "The Neces
sity oi Relaxation." Carefully lieetltd
his advice will be of beuetit to very
mauy people aside from his class
and tho school, Lucy .(jurber's
"Whore Wo Are Today," was a good
illustration of the fact that education
does develop power of thought, and'
auks isuroers uunvery was creditable
to herself and her instructors alike.
That MOue Today Is Worth Two To

time, hut it is a lesson tliatcanuot be
impressed too frequently and Miss
Martha Abel very appropriately pre
sented n notably good view of the old
idea. Adaptation jjot less than direct
thought is of use in tho affairs of
life. It i always appropriate that cit
izens appreciate ana understand their
duty to to their country, ami Kobert
Mitchell comprehended and presented
that subject competently and well.

its necessities and possibilities were
very neatly construed and explained
by Miss May Su'iboui. Miss Jessio
kellogg was in every way capable of
explaining the "Powers of Musio" and
didfiudit to her abilities by bur ad
dress on that topic. Miss Ada
Skjciyor was vulcdiutorlun and accom
plished a very dillleult task in a very
creditable way. Communication, and
its effect upon civilization, is n rather

we now Boo tli.it everything is brighter
in anticipation than in reality. Our

means of escape. Wo are all young
and unaccustomed to appear so prom

must leave some kind of an Impression
we hope you will bo I'jnient in forming
your opinion of us. Wo present to you
tonight the largest class which has
ever graduated from the Hod Cloud

your attention we will put forth our

1IT DHN18 SOHAVKNIT.
Man is ft wonderful being. He sets
his goal on the stars. Kire is kindled
with nil and the smoke begins to raise
and the steam is raised and it hisses at,
tho ground, the bell rings nnd the sta
tion in mind the drive wheels begin to
whirl, the road divides, one is n desert
path, tho shorter.tho other Is a journey
fertile nud pleasant, but longer.
Without hesitation tho shorter line is
taken, but In the middle of that plane
the fuel goes out.

may want to increase ills capita! too
soon and the scales may loosen their

thn mind may need relaxation. Climb
steep hills by degrees, make haste
slowly.
The forces of nature require relax
ation from tho toil of producing the
evnrigatcd vegitntion that clothes nnd
beautifies tho mountains, hills and
plains. After tho labor of summer
comes the rest of winter, so that the
exhausted filters of nature will have a
cliance to recuperate themselves in
order to uguiu put forth her great effort
for beautifying the world; thus she
goes on generation after generation
alternately working and resting, quiet
ly taking her regular rest when needed
then willingly and chearfully working.
Tito green herbage appears so slowly
yet continuous; the birds chant their
lovely songs; tho cattle and the shep
fieem to ueak joyfully nnd the streams
ripple gently on. Some times there
comes a storm and it snonis as though
all was ruined, but the storm subsides
and it is pleasant onco again and all is
quiet and calm, And theu the ntitmun
comes and the winter in which nature
finds her re3t nnd the winds rustle the
doad leaves and tho snow falls, O, so
merrily. Let man take a lesson from
nature, tho common mother of us all.
The Jews, Israelites by their ancient
namo, lud out of Kgypt through tho
Red Sen, received the divine law for a
