COMMENCEMENT.
As a child It "was hard 'to understand why they called
the closing of a school term commencement. It was a
long time before the real meaning could bo grasped. Com-
mencement -vyhat a funny word to use In'closlng1 anything.
But as years Past the Idea got hold of us and wo begnn
to understand what U meant: To many this word will i88 as tho beBt town ln ontr61 Ye8t TXa8 and wIU b6

-young men and young ladles will have their commence-
ment during this time and will go out' to battle with life's
problems. It should be an hour of great pleasure to
wery manly young lellow and each sweet girl graduate.
It should also bo on hour of serious thought. Young peo-
iJo you face the world from the hour of your graduation
in a new relationship. Responsibilities are yours which
have not rested on you before. In facing them you should
have a fixed purpose plan your luturo course and drive
to it regardless of obstacles. One thing that is cursing
tho young people of today and has cursed moro than
anything else is aimless drifting. At firBt it will seem
o bo a reckless assertion hut It Is true ninety fiva per
(pnt of oUr young people never plan anything but are cop-
tent to drift along" and let circumstances bring to them
vliat it may. .
