PAGE FOUR GLOV1S, NEW MEXICO, VEftiNG MONDAY, MAY 10, REV. MX ADDRESSES 84 SENIORS LAST NIGHT Baccalaureate if tn Brotig.ht By First Baptist Pastor Eighty-four seniors of the Clovts High school, who Will receive their diplomas next' Thursday night, heard F. Nix, First Baptist a stirring talk, "The Way To A Throne," when he brought to them their baccalaureate sermon at (he junior high school gymnasium last night. The large auditorium was packed to capacity for the service which is preliminary to the final graduation ceremonies for the seniors, with members of the class of '37, their parents and friends. After the seniors had marched impressively into the hall to the strains of a march, Rev.

R. E. Dickenson gave the Invocation. The high school chorus, under the direction of Prof. Harry E.

Barton, then sang "When All Thy Mercies, Oh God." Rev. A. Lorts then read the scripture. The chorus then sang "The Christian Prayer" and Rev. Nix' splendid sermon followed.

"Four Ways To Throne" "There are four ways to reach the throne," said the speaker, using the word "throne" to signify "success." He then launched into a detailed discussion of the various ways to "reach the top," discussing the difficulties which besaij every young man and woman entering on to the road of life. "This is not the end of a period of your life," Nix said, "but the beginning of the greatest phase of your existence, and the most complicated one to meet." "Choice and Exclusion" The first of the four ways to reach the throne which the speak: er discussed was "the wisdom of choice and the grace of exclusion." "It is not always so hard to choose the right thing as it is to exclude the wrong he told his listening audience, "and nothing can be chosen without the exclusion of something." Secondly, "the power to see" was discussed as another way to travel life's "high road." Rev. Nix pointed out to the seniors that all their success will be measured by their "seeing capacity," the ability to look above and beyond the thing directly confronting one. "Meeting Obstacles" "Meeting and overcoming obstacles along the way" was the third division of Rev. Nix' talk, who spoke at length 'on the problems their nature which befall boys and girls going out into the world to make their way in life.

The last topic discussed was the fourth and final "way to the throne." It was the "power of individual conviction," and the influence which a person's convictions would have upon moulding his life. The doxology followed the fine sermon, and Rev. Clyde Barton pronounced the benediction. 84 Seniors Present Members of the senior class, graduates of the Clovis High School this year, who were present for the baccalaureate services, were the following.

JUNIORS HONOR SENIORS WITH BANQUET SATURDAY NIGHT AT HARVEY HOUSE FRENCH Germaine Aussey may be another Century hopes. Members of the junior and senior classes at the Clovis High School mot at the Harvey House Saturday night for a lovely banquet, Which marks the last event of the social whirl which precedes the closing of school and for the seniors' graduation. A committee from the junior class had made all the arrangements and decorated the tables beautifully in a most unusual fashion, carrying out the Indian motif. Programs and menus were miniature chief heads and the centerpieces were small tepees in sand, surrounded by cacti and Indian dolls. The programs were written in Indian language, to further the novel effect.

Place cards were, fittingly, thunder birds, made of tin, Throughout the evening, Cecil Elder, president of the junior class and president-elect of next year's seniors, acted as toastmaster. Mrs. R. K. Staubus sang "Indian Love Call" and Elder spoke on "The Departing Warrior." Richard Hlldweln, president of this year's senior class, spoke on "Embers of the Last Campfire." Miss Lucy Shannon gave an Indian reading and Superintendent James M.
