Dear Service Men:
It seems the graduating class of

the news this week. There were 25 who
received their diplomas on Tuesday
night, May 23. Fellow-s, you should have
seen the auditorium; it has been newly
painted and new curtains were secured
for the stage; the stage was really beau
tiful, the curtains being ivory and
burgandy in color, and the flowers were
arranged in the patriotic scheme red,
white and blue. The salutatory address
was given by Genevieve Via and the
valedictory by Frances Hundley. J. W.
Stone was the speaker for the evening.
The Citizenship Cup was won by Miss
Edith Hall and the American Legion

Well fellows, I don't think I ought
to tell this but you won’t say anything
about it, I mean where Mr. Ripple
might hear about it, will you? Fellows,
he’s been fishing again, but he didn’t
fall in the water a single time. “No
siree.” He just fell in three times, that’s
all. By the way, maybe that’s the
latest discovery for more successful
fishing. Is it Mr. Ripple?
P. S. Boys, Mr. Campbell didn’t tell
on himself, only on Mr. Ripple.
Well after that last bit of news your
reporter may be reporting to you for
the last time, if so, good luck fellows,
and may God bless each of you always.
Sincerely,
FAYE WARREN.

WELCOME, SCHOLARS
(Continued from Page 1)
life and your school life were so close
ly blended that it was difficult to tell
where one started and the other ended.
To those of you who seriously con
template making your careers with us
we would like to say this: You are
making a good choice. But never for
a moment believe that when you have
graduated from high school or college
your schooling is ended. Far from it.
You must study your job each day,
make a sort of text book of it. When
you’ve mastered the “text book” you’ve
mastered your job and can step on to
something better—just as you advance
to a higher grade when you’ve master
ed the lower one.
Our company is looking for boys and
girls like you; ambitious youngsters
who want to learn. There is no limit
to your possibilities. There’s always
plenty of room just ahead, and the
more you devote your time and_ ener
gies to mastering your job the faster
you will advance to the “higher grade.”
We welcome you. Future Leaders of
America, and always keep in mind that
there is always plenty of room at the
top. That’s where you fine, intelligent
youngsters are headed for.
