Gayle 1 ? '?* RALPH DETERMINES TO GRAD UATE FROM COLLEGE Ralph would b? six years old in one month, also in two months his school would begin. It was a hard thing for Ralph to wait. Just three days be fore his birthday Mrs- Martin, who was his mother, received a letter from her mether and father saying they would be there to help celebrate Ralph's birthday. Ralph was over joyed, so many tilings going to hap pen. In September Ralph started to school, he was very bright and soon began to learn rapidly, by Christmas he had finished the first grade, by the end of that year he had completed the second. That summer he had an enjoyable vacation, he went to see his aunt in Florida. School started so Ralph entered with a mind to com plete two grades that year and at the end of that year he had finished the fourth grade. By this time Ralph was growing pale and thin, Mrs. Martin knew he was doing too much work. So the coming school year he finished the fifth grade, he had not worked so hard that winter and he wanted to go to Europe so his mother, father and himself left for Europe. They came back in time for Ralph to start to school. That year he finished the sixth grade. Next year the seventh, then he entered high school. The fol lowing four years he studied hard and did not make anything less than B on his report card. In his second year in College he received a telegram from his home stating his father was dead, and only two weeks after his death, Ralph's mother was taken seriously 1U. Her illness of two months prevented his finishing his second year in college. When five months later his father's estate was settled which left his mother without anything and in one month his home would be sold, Ralph went nearly crazy. He felt as if he never would stand through it all. Next month Ralph's school would start and he knew that he could not go back. He went to work, it was the first time he had ever work ed and it went pretty hard with him, but he knew he had his mother to take care of. He had rented a small house for her. After working one year he had saved enough to send him to college and take care of his moiher the next year. So he went back to college, finished the part of of the year he had left and also fin ished his junior year. At the end of the term he came home ready to go to work. He worked very hard the summer so as to make enough to go dsck 10 scnooi. Kaipn wondered lots of the time why his people never helped him, but he never mentioned it to anyone. He began when school started. Three weeks before the end of his senior year he received a check for 915,000 from his people. This was the best graduating present that was ever given. His uncle wrote him a letter telling him why they had not helped him be fore. It was like this: "Hy dear boy we knew to work a while would make a man of you." Ralph went home, started a busi ness of his own, bought a beautiful home and sat his old mother in the home that she had always been used to. In a short time he was known as] the most prominent man in that city. Some months later he was married to his beautiful childhood mate who had helped him by her love and sym pathy to keep up courage through the years of his sorrows and hard ships. ELSIE HARMON.
