On Monday evening, May 31, at
8:00 p. m. there assembled in the
district court room of the New
Court House at Canton a capacity
crowd to witness the graduation of
170 pupils from the 47 rural
schools of the county that had tak-
en the county wide tests and who
had made the required score for
graduation. This represents a good
standard of achievement, and thus
it is counted a distinct honor to be
a member of the County Wide
Class. Teachers, parents and
friends come to witness these grad-
uation exercises and thus it comes
to be one of the most unique school
exercises of the year. Monday Ev-
ening’s program was as follows:
Invocation: Rev. I. O. Dent, Col-
fax.
Address, Rev. W. E. D. Lock-
ridge, Terrell.
Awarding of Diplomas: County
Superintendent A. O. Loughmiller.
Benediction, Rev. Henry King,
Myrtle Springs.
Rev. Lockridge, the speaker of
the evening, brought an inspira-
tional message which was appreci-
ated by all groups represented.
Speaking particularly to the Class
of 170 pupils he pointed out that
each one of them could reasonably
expect to live for 40 years. He then
brougrt the challenging question:
“"What will you do with this 40
years of life?" He pointed out that
education and life do not stop, that
progress is continuous, that life is
subject to change and that new
conditions bring about new inven-
tions which in turn influence our
life habits.
He brought about an indictment
of the present generation in that
it had failed to prevent the World
War of 1914 and the disturbed eco-
nomic conditions and the financial
panic which have resulted since.
His final thought to the class was
this: “It is not what you have that
counts, but rather what do you do
with the talent, ability and wealth
that you do have.”
Following is a list of the pupils
from the various schools who have
received diplomas of graduation in
to the high school:

Washington, June 5.—As a re-
sult of the efforts of Representa-
tive Morgan Sanders of the Third
District of Texas, Representative
Lyndon Johnson, successor to
Representative James P. Buchan-
an, 10th District, Texas, has been
appointed to serve on the very im-
portant Military and Naval Affairs
Committees of the House of Rep-
resentatives.
Appointment of a new congress-
man to key committee such as this
is extremely rare, new men usually
being placed on some minor com-
mittee until their work finds favor
with the party leaders.
However, the influence of Rep-
resentative Sanders, himself a
member of the powerful Ways and
Means Committee, proved outstand-
ing enough to gain this “plum” for
his new colleague.
