Discovered in 1549 by a Portuguese, Mascarenhas, the island bore his name until 1643 when it was claimed for France and re* named Bourbon Island. Colonization began in 1564 at St. Paul bay under the direction of the French East In* dia company. In 1764 the island reverted to the French government. When the Revolutionists came to power in France they called the island "Reunion," an idea that endured only to the rise of Napoleon. "He Bonaparte" then became the fashion. The English seized the island in 1810, and gave it back five years later. "Reunion" again emerged as th®island's official name. Reunion has been administered as | a department of France through a resident governor and consul general. Threfe delegates, one to the French senate, two to the house of deputies, traveled the 7,500 mijes to Paris to represent the island's interests in the French parliament. Their constituents are, for the most part, Frenchmen, British, Indians, Chinese, Africans, and natives of Madagascar. To Reunion, France has sometimes sent political exiles, notably Abd el Krim, famed Rifl leader, in 1926. and Hall June 3 C . B. Hall. June 4 Circle 1, W. S. C. S. Graduation--High School.

Living conditions have been intensified, because of our defense efforts. Many demands are being made upon our citizens for their goodwill, time, energy and money, so that the home front may share in the successful prosecution of the war. There is a nervous tension upon all of us. Most families have sons or daughters in the service, for whose safety and welfare they are praying. Men and women are working unaccustomed and long hours in defense plants to keep munitions and armaments flowing to the front lines. Home-life has been affected and the customary routine has been disturbed; many of our people at home are engeged in Red Cross work and various projects to aid in our gigantic defense emergency. One needs a good set of nerves to keep up under the terrific strain of these aboprmal times. Entering Life's Work ' v You are entering your life's work st a time when the Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of man seem to have been banished from the earth. Christian principles seem to have been flung to the four winds and the pagan principle of "the survival of the fife* test" seems to be the dominant factor* Despite this mass world-upheaval, desp-ite the apparent chaotic conditions existing in the world, we are still a free and independent nation-- guided by Christian principles and the spirit of brotherly love. No nation in the world has ever enjoyed, and is enjoying, the democracy which we are still enjoying. We know what freedom really means and our nation is fighting with air its resources to preserve that freedom for U3--the American way of life--which we hope to pass on to future generations. Our Constitution points out the fact that all men are created equal and that Under God all men have equal rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. What part will you play in the World of tomorrow? Some of you Will, no doubt, continue your studies in higher education; some will (/venture forth to earn their own living in the various occupations open to them. If the war continues for any length of time, many of you will answer the call of your country to join the rapidly growing numbers in our armed forces. Some of you will remain at home'to help supply the much-needed |ood for the world. Each one of you wil be doing something. Each one of you will have his or her work to do--work which only you can do. If you fail to do your part, then your work will be left undone. There is no such thing as someone else doing- it for you, for, that someone else has his own work to do. Do not follow the line of least resis-* tance; if you want to amount to soitie4 thing in life, you must exert your* self and do your ihare of life's work. Life offers you success and happiness; you will have many opportunities, such as other young people the worlct ever will not have. An important point to remember is this, that you will never get any more out of life than you put into it. If you want to enjoy the fullness of life, of success and happiness, then you must give a full measure in return. You must observe obedience and respect for lawful authority; you must give an honest day's work for an honest day's pay. If you expect to enjoy the freedor* and benfits of our democracy, then yoijt must be honest and upright citizens. History proves the old maxim that ^honesty is the best policy." You and upright citizens of tomorrow, then you must prepare yourselves now by leading virtuotls lives. You must be mentally and physically fit to assume your responsibilities when the time comes. You must have a high regard for the dignity of fatherhood and motherhood. The high type of girl will not waste the best year* of her life on every Tom, Dick and Harry that she meets; she will save heir affections and love for the man of her choice, whom she really loves and with whom she intends to share her life. The high type of girl will never degrade that sacred trust which God will place upon her. She will not be second-handed when that time comes, but she will keep herself unsullied so that when she shoulders the responsibility of motherhood she may do so fairly and squarely. Then she will be giving her children an unblemished birthright to which they are entitled by the law of God, and which she received from her mother. The same holds true of the high type boy. If he has a high regard for his own mother and sisters, he will respect this dignity in the young ladies of his acquaintance. He will respect them as he would expect every other young man to respect his own sister. The-days of knighthood are not over, for the honor and integrity of womanhood is at stake as much' today as it was in the days of old. ^ ( Moral Principles* ........ It will be almost impossible to acquire a good character without strong moral principles. Besides the traditional three "it's"--"reading, 'riting and 'rithmetic" necessary for a secular education, there is a fourth "R" necessary for good citizenship, and that fourth "R" stands for Religion. George Washington, the Father or Our Country, was aware of this fact. In his farewell address, he admonished his fellow countrymen as follows: "Of all the dispositions and habits,< which lead to political prosperity, Religion and Morality are indispensable supports: In vain would that man claim tribute of Patriotism, who should labor to subvert these great pillars of human happiness, these firmest props of the duties of Men and Citizens. Let us with caution indulge the supposition, that morality can be maintained without religion. Whatever may be conceded to the influence of refined education on minds of peculiar structure--reason and experience both forbid us to expect, that national morality can prevail in exclusion of religious principles. Whatever religion you profess, be faithful to it. Carry out faithfully your duties to God, to your fellow man, to yourself, to your church and to your country. Every human being owes love, respect and obedience to his parents, teachers and superiors, to God and his country. Hie Ten Commandments are as binding upon us today as they were when given by God to Moses. That positive law is identical with the nitural law which God ifiscribed in the heart of every human being. As Christians, we believe in eternity and salvation; every thought, word and action of our whole life should be directed toward that end.

And if a prospective customer ^who calls for a cab cancels the request after the cab is dispatched, he is charged a fee anyway. The new taxicab ordinance also limits rates--25 cents for the first half-mile and 10 cents for each halfmile thereafter. A passenger must pay 10 cents for keeping a driver waiting three minutes and 10 cents apiece for extra passengers. Cabs from now on will be *rationed in Walla Walla--one to every 2,000 inhabitants.
