They have been motoring in eastern Oregon and will take in the Panama Exposition before their return. It has been ten years since they were here and they are much impressed with the great improvements that have been brought about in that time. Three men were seen coming into town late Wednesday evening and at first they were taken to be tramps. A close look, however, revealed that it was W. B. McKowan, Morris Fowl and F. K. Hubbard. It appears that F. K. had invited them to take a ride with him in his "Hup-Mobile" over to Kings Valley where he hied himself with a load of berries. On the return trip something went wrong with the "Hup's" pulmonary aparatus and it refused to even cough. There was only one thing to do, and they proceeded to do it. Blithely humming the old familiar tune, "Tramp, tramp, tramp, the boys are marching" the trio headed for town where they arrived hot, dusty and thirsty. Falls City is blest with an abundance of cool, delicious and envigorating water that was used both internally and externally with very gratifying results both in outward appearance and inward feelings. The remains of "Hup" was towed into town Thursday afternoon by another automobile and taken to the hospital where Dr. Brown will perform a surgical operation.

Overture-High School Orchestra Invocation-Rev. M. A. Marcy Address-M. S. Pittman of Oregon Violin Solo "Simple Confession"-Leona Hanson Class Prophecy-Conrad Cockerline Piano Solo "Alpine Glow"-Helen Treat Valedictory-Edith Johnson Presentation of Diplomas-Supt. H. C. Seymour Benediction-Elder B. L. Hicks The graduates are as follows: Elvin Snider Winfield Johnson Mae Hanson Hanvey Deal Mildred Chapin Conrad Cockerline Edith Johnson Helen Treat Fay Wells Katie Barnhart Loraine Hailey George Otte Lester Bowman Geneva Sayre The faculty and students are justly proud of their work during the past year and the receiving of diplomas is the reward worth the price. An education is as Treasures laid up "where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break thro nor steal." Fortune may frown upon you and deprive you of all worldly goods, but an education is with you always. Work for the coming year is being planned and it is the aim of the faculty to profit by the experiences of the past year and, if possible, make a better record this year. While we may be divided on the subject of politics, religion and many social questions, we should all be as one on the question of education. Give a girl or boy a practical education and he can take his or her place in this hustling, bustling world with a feeling that they will be able to meet any emergency. BIG EATS

The Bible account tells of Mother Eve's thirst for knowledge, and of Satan's taking advantage of this, beguiling her into disobedience. We need not suppose that the serpent spoke audibly; rather, as we say, "Actions speak louder than words." It is probable that the serpent spoke in this manner. God had authorized our first parents to freely eat of all the fruits of Paradise except of the species called "The Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil." It was forbidden for a time as a test of their loyality. The eating of the fruit of this tree, they were forewarned, would bring upon them the curse-the Death Sentence. The serpent ate of various fruits, and seemed especially fond of the forbidden fruit. Observation proved that the fruit did not kill the serpent, and the inference drawn by Mother Eve was that God had forbidden the use of the very best tree in Eden. Her conclusion was that God had a selfish motive in forbidding the use of that fruit; that He feared His creatures would become as wise as Himself. Mother Eve did not broach these suspicions to her husband. She would eat, acquire the knowledge God was withholding, and then assist Adam to it-Genesis 3:6. Adam realized the seriousness of Eve's disobedience. He thought of the long days before he had her companionship. Now, he would be lonely again. In desperation Adam determined to join Eve in the sin and its penalty. Adam's death was a slow suicide! His dying lasted 930 years.  |
