With their present determination to be leaders expressed in their class motto, "Today We Follow, ToMorrow We Lead," it is probable that taore records of achievement and success will be broken by members of their class in the future. • Members of the class have been outstanding for high averages, musical and athletic ability and their absence will be felt next year in the orchestra, band, glee clubs and athletic organizations of the school. - Only fifty-three graduates were present Friday evening as Kenneth Tonyan, one of the graduates^ was absent because of illness. He was ill with pneumonia. ® The commencement exercises were most interesting, the graduates marching to^ their seats on the stage while Hazel Howard played the "Coronation March" by Meyerbeer.

Sextette; "Pale In the Amber West" and "Alex-, ander" by the Boys' Trio. ;j.> Guy Duker, Salutatorian The salutatory address was given by Guy Duker who compared life to the 440-yard dash and voiced the determination of the class to be leaders in the generation of which they are a part. - The address of the evening was delivered by Dr. Silas Evans, president of Ripon .college, who chose for his subject, "The Game of Life/' continuing along the theme .of the salutatory. Dr. Eyans brought. a message rf inspiration and good advice to, the' graduates and also to his audience, admonishing the. ybung people to play the game of life according , to the rules of- the game and to, put their confidence in law, not luck. He illustrated his point by comparing the players in various games making it plain each time that the boy who follows the rules of the game turns out better than the boy who trusts to luck. There are laws of the universe which govern our lives and from which we cannot escape, according to Dr. Evans, among them being the law of persistence and law of development. This is a universe of law and whoever drives against the laws of the universe gets hit.
