The high school lod is a domltable one, it is hill top, with other hintops ahead, think of yon as young men and women who have reached this hilltop with best of training received In this Institution.

Tour school doaa not only give yon an education, but It trains you to go out into the world and be able to think well "You will do wel Ito seek and weigh the experiences of those who have gone along the road ahead. As I look ahead on that road I see two pitfalls, So full are they of humans that ona thinks no more can fai to, but It Is so easily done. What are these pitfalls? The first ona la the feverish pursuit of pleasure and tho second tho bate and distaste few- work. Pleasure is assenUiU to our lives, but cannot let It master ua. Work la service, both to body and to heart.

There Is a common tendency te the world today to look upon pleasure as an end to life, work only as a motive to attain thJa pleasure. Dear graduates, I warn you of this danger. hope that you will be faithful to these ideals you have kept during your school days to the years to come. I hope that It is never said of you that you took pleasure before work." Father Conley presented to the graduates the following arts of llv.ng: first, the art of behavior before God; second. art of behavior among men; and third, the art of using leisure time.

He continued: "The atmosphere of the Divine Teacher has pervaded your school rooms and may the days to come not find you any less In the art of religion. Be an honorable citizen in your community and among men. There times ta all of our lives when are at leisure, to do what we wish. These momenta are tha ones which are the Important ones. They are the ones that either break or mako us, the ones to decide whether are to DO the chaff or the wheat." In closing Father Conley aald.

"God. may I never IMS ashamed of you, God speed, end may you come home at last to your Father's house." The essays of the two graduates appear to another column of The Gasette.
