It was I.'the largest graduating class in the * kistory of the school, including 22 girl;; and 16 boys. The address, to the class was delivered by Dr. E. H. ; Lindley, president of the University »[ Idaho. The program opened with < a piano solo, "War March of the Priests," by Miss Bernice Met/., and the Rev. John G. Law of the Metho j dist church pronounced the Invoca > tion. The girls' chorus sang Edward Elsar's "Fly Singing Bird," with % Margaret Jones and Clarence Nash accompanying on violins.

Curtis of the Federated churches delivered the baccalaureate sermon to. the graduates in the Methodist church. The Rev. H. J. Reynolds of the Christian church presided. A. A. Eustis sang a solo which was followed by a prayer by IW. E. ' Monbeck of the Baptist ■'■ church. The high school chorus 1 sang "Aye Maria" and the bacca laureate sermon followed. - In introduction Mr. Curtis con 's gratulated the members of the graduating class on their achieve ment and assured them that they had just begun. They had tasted of the fountains of learning—the fires of vision had but been kindled: "Follow the Gleam." In substance his address was as follows: I am thinking of your life as a building. Have our lives not been called "The temples of the living God"? We shall find some helpful suggestions if we note what is occur ring in the new college buildings. The girls are waiting the completion of the new building, ready to leave the old. You will find life a con stant process of reconstruction. Do not tear down the old. Grow out of the old Into the new—be fearless to . . build. How are you to build? I noted three things in the construction of fice. (1) There was a completed building already on paper. (2) There were plans showing the de tails of the structure. (3) The con tractor constantly referred to the plans. Two things are necessary if the completed building is to correspond Jto the complete picture: (1) First there must be competent' workmen; (2) a perfect plan. There are two reasons why mer fail in the building of this temple ol We: (1) There is a lack of the per sonal qualities of faithfulness; (2) the absence of a perfect pattern oi the presence of a wrong one. I take it for granted that you have acquired skill and that you mean tc •add to it faithfulness. But if yoi have not a perfect plan you will nol • succeed. I wish therefore to speak to yoi concerning the blueprint of life, ose as a text Hebrews 8:5, "For see I said God, that thou make all thingi according to the. pattern showed t< thee on the mount." Moses was given a plan. He was to make the ark according to tha Plan. He was to realize in that arl God's idea. Universalize thl thought and it gives us the lot ties conception of human life. I In th wearing of this temple of life ou task is to realize Gods plan, so tha Ms wondrous purpose may b achieved. Have you gone alone witl God and gotten the pattern for you (Continued on page five) mm EIGHTEEN PAGES The Pullman Herald Devote, to the best interests of Pullman and the greatest farming community in the Northwest surrounding it.

Accord ing to Officer Henry Mr. Erb plead ed guilty to the charge at Colfax and was assessed a fine of $5 and costs, upon the alleged recommenda tion of the prosecuting attorney. 'The fine is a travesty," said Mr. Henry. "A score of drivers have been fined $15 and costs for speed ing, and they had it coming. The intent of the traffic laws is to af ford safety to law-abiding drivers, and a drunken driver is a far greater menace to public safety, I believe,. than a sober speeder, and the fine should be in proportion to the seri ousness of the offense, without favoritism." ■"■!I>"'» ■'■■'" v"'' -■•—'=" " ~ ■ ''"«—-——■■ — — —-"HM■ ji Stores to Close Monday ji ]» iIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII <!
