AGE TWO t?F ART70NA REPUBLICAN. FRTPAY MORNING, MAY 28, 1920 iM BID GOODBYE TO HIGH SCHOOL EMTIO Fifteen Hundred Phoeni cians Attend Commence ment Exercises Distin guished Speakers Ad dress Class More than one throat in the audi ence of 1,500 at the commencement exercises at Phoenix Union high school last night was constricted with emo tion at the sight of the 154 members of the graduating class marching to their positions on the platform to the solemn cadence of music by the school orchestra, to be together for the last time before receiving their passports into, the realms of new activity. The stadium back of the auditorium was filled with friends and relatives of the class, anxious and proud to be present at the ceremony which would crown , the four years of work at high school : done by the young men and women who were this night to put be hind them the happiest days of their lives. ; Profj Lee Ellison Bassett of Stan ford university, in his address to and lrr behalf of the class, happily termed last night's event as the hilltop in te lives of the young people on the plat form with him. In making this simile Professor Bassett effectively used a ' letter written by the poet. Lowell, to one of his friends while etill a young man. 1 The Material and Higher Things He declared that in using the knowl edge gained at school in later life it is a prime necessity that the graduates live and make their living honorably. Kverybody in this world lives a double life, he continued, explaining that the one involved the striving for material things; and the other ' consisted of the higher, moral and spiritual thfngs. In his address the professor spoke at length on the subject of poetry, and justified its existence by explaining what and why it is. The general con demnation of many people of this form of art he attributed to lack of under standing of the reason and purpose of poetry,: which he then v.-ent on to ex plain, illustrating his points with ex amples from the pen of great Ameri can poets. Professor Bassett, who is high in the public speaking department at Stan ford, is himself an accomplished elo cutionist, and in giving a few demon strations of his art, won the complete admiration of the audience. By clever ly Inserted witticisms the speaker kept the audience in good humor, adding greatly to the interest of the address. Urges More Reading In closing. Professor Bassett urged that more reading be done at home. The reading of good books, prose and poetry he declared would do more to ward the binding of families closer to gether than any other form of enter tainment. He also pointed out the value of memorising poetry, which he said would always be a source of strength. The salutatory was delivered by Mary Tice, who in a well constructed and easily delivered address, made a distinct impression oa her hearers. Ferguson Burton, who by his excel lent school record earned the privilege of delivering the valedictory address, spoke in a distinct manner that car ried to the farthest corner of the large stadium. Compliment Students On Work Principal Daniel F. Jantzen, in pre senting the class to the board of edu cation, headed by B. P. McFall, touched on the: splendid achievements of the students during their four years at Phoenix high. He called the attention of the audience to the fact that the class this year is unique in thai it con tains two sons of Gov. Thomas E. Campbell. He also pointed out that the first native American Indian girl in the history of the school was to re ceive her diploma with the class. B. F. McFall, in his acceptance speech on behalf of the board of edu cation. In turn presented the class to Governor Campbell, who was a guest of honor of the evening. The governor, on rising to accept the honor, declared that only the fact that his arms were inadequate to sc tremendous a task prevented him from carrying out his wish to embrace tht entire class. He expressed himself as- being proud to have two sons mem bers of such a distinguished body of students, which he said represented a cross section of the entire valley. All he stated, were leveled to one plane by the democracy of education, which is the element that makes the United States the only country of Its kind on the earth. Diplomas Are Presented Before taking his seat, the governor sursrested that the class motto. "In dustry. ; Intelligence, Intellect," be In creased bv one more "1", namely, in'1 tcgrity. This combination he said would unfailingly spell success. At the conclusion of the governor's speech, the diplomas were presented by Mr. McFall, mid ringing cheers by; the spectators. The benediction was pronounced by Rev. S. J. Rogers, after which the students were congratulated by their many friends before the fir.nl pande monium of departure brought (he eve ning to a close.

PflNKljW VIOLATORS TO FIND FJEW TAGS ON AUTOS Notice: To driver of car No. . You are hereby notified to appear before the city magistrate at the city hall. Phoenix, Arizona, on at m., for violation of city ordinance No. 312. Failure to comply with this notice will cause your arrest upon warrant. Geo. O. Brisbois, chief of police. New tags bearing this notice have just been received by the police de partment and Chief of Police Brisboia promises to introduce them today. Sergeant Duncan will supply all his traffic men with a sufficient number of these notices to tag all motor cars which have not been parked in accord ance with the new traffic ordinance. Attached to these notices is a little memorandum for the officer, which he tears off at the time he tags a car. This will greatly facilitate the work of the traffic officers and enable tbem to keep a closei watch on parked cars. Under the old method the officer was obliged to fill out a tag and then make a tedious copy of the notice in a mem orandum book. Because the traffic ordinance now in effect was only recently passed and the motoring public was - not thoroughly familiar with its provisions, Judge Thcmaa has been lenient with offend ers, but motorists who find the new tag: on their cars may expect to pay a fme for their offense. "We don't want to work a hardship on any one driving a motor car. but double parking and heading Into th curbing must be stopped," Chief Bris boia said when commenting upon the new tags. "Traffic in this city is be coming too heavy to permit any 'Jay' driving and ail the provisions of the ordinance must be observed. If the public would cooperate with the police department we would have a very har monious traffic system.

The communication is as follows: Hon. W. K. Bowen, Chairman, Board ot" Supervisors. Phoenix, Arizona. My Dear Mr. Bowen: A meeting of the board of directors of the Cham ber of Commerce, together with the Good Roads committee of the Cham ber of Commerce, was held at the Wa ter Users' building on Wednesday, May 2(J, at 2 p. m. At this meeting there were present representatives from the board of su pervisors and fro mthe Maricopa County Highway commission. The matter of additional bond issue to complete the program of paved highways prepared by the County Highway commission was discussed. The meeting considered all angles of the situation and concluded with the unanimous opinion of those present, that a petition be immediately insti tuted and presented to the board of supervisors, calling for an election to vote four and one-half million dollars worth of bonds to complete the road system outlined on the highway com mission's map; construction to be not less than a 16 foot roadway, 6 mcnes thick, as provided in the specifications in the contract which the highway commission now has with Twohy Brothers. In addition to completing the sys tem outlined on the commission's map, the amount mentioned will provide for the paving of the Phoenix-Glendale road; the completion of the Tempe Buckeye road, and such other connect ing links which the highway commis sion may deem of advantage to the en tire project. It is understood that while the elec tion will be called at an early date, it will not be necessary to sell bonds for one year at least and probably not for two years. The meeting Instructed the roads committee to prepare a communica tion to be addressed to the supervisors, outlining the result of the meeting, and we now take pleasure in presenting to you this letter as the request of the meeting for action on the part of your honorable body. The commitee desires at this time to offer Its services in any way in fur thering this matter, believing that by the procedure outlined the very best results will be secured to all sections of Maricopa county, and that the con struction of the highway system on permanent basis will bring benefits to the county much greater than the cost of same.
