gift of the class of 1917 to the high
reception of it.
.Charles Arthur Murphy, class presi-
dent. made the presentation address.
in which he noted that after last
night. the class of 1917 would no
longer exist and asked that it be re-
ceived in the same spirit that it was
offered, that of love, and not remem-
brance. He would rather have the
class remembered by its works, than
its gift.
The class gift, itself, Was a magni-
ficient seal of the Norwalk High
school, which will be useful, as well
as ornamental. ,
The reception of the gift was made'
by Harry W. Blake. master of thei
senior high school, with a few appro;
priate words. He urged the class to'
remember the vast responsibility fol,
which they were y'et"fto come, and:
urged them to do their best as they!
had been taught to do at the higli‘
school. He‘ ended by thanking them;

or class that had graduatctl at such
a momentous day, with the condition
of the countryin a shadow. He spoke.
of the ['nitcd States being in actual
participation of the great world war
and the unrealization of that fact by,
the people. L
Turning back. he said that he had‘

mates at Yale University. and he. colit-

The General referred to the real

sake of humanity, and the will of
God.
He closed his address by urging the
members of the graduating class to
bé brave, to be. ready to sacrifice
their lives, pleasures and earthly
.goods for the good of the United
States. He urged them to remember
their obligations as citizens, and to
sustain the reputation and credit of

Members of the Graduating Class,
Parents and Friends:
The beginning on the end of things.
events and periods have a peculiar
attraction to the human mind‘vthey
are the milestones along tilt, high-
ways of life to which the mind and
memory reverts and from which we
take new bearings for the. future—‘-
birthdays, wedding days. the first
born, the baby of the family, the‘tlrst ‘
love. the old‘year out, and the new
year in. the graduation day. the start-
ing out of a journey is celebrated and
the return home is a festive day.
The birthday, while it is always a
special day in the family for the.
child and for the parents, there are
special birthdays that have marked
'attention— the. fifth, twelfth, eigh-
teenth, twenty-first, for they mark
the beginning of new periods in the
life of the child, the baby becomes
9?. little boy or a little girl. the boy
passes into young manhood and the
girl into young womanhood, but there
lie even a new‘Slgniflcance on the
twenty-first birthday of her boy now.
lfar differently than at any other
time in our history, for she knows
that he, may or must take his place
in the blast furnace of war. which is
turning out and determining the true
metal for the building of a greater
and sublime» civilization.
But there ls‘no day more marked
by joy before the wedding day than
the, first graduation day, because it is
{in first positive evidence to parents
and the public that the boy or girl
possesses sufficient lnbolleetual pow~
er in play an even part with. his or
her follows. It marks the end' oLa
period, but it likewise marks the be»
