On Sunday afternoon Grantsville was greeted by an immense throng of people who had come from far and near to witness the laying of the cor- ner stone on the foundation of the | new Lutheran Church. Many automobile loads from near- by towns as well as carriages loaaed with people were driven in soon after dinner until 2:30, when the ceremonies began. A temporary floor was placed on | one corner of the foundation on which | the church organ, the choir and the visiting ministers were comfortably seated. The services were opened with a selection by the choir and a prayer by Rev. W. W. Morris. The choir then ably rendered a beautiful anthem en- titled, ‘‘Rest From Your Labors’’ fol- lowed with a reading by Rev. E. S. Hassler, of St. Paul. After another selection by the choir, Rev. McCart- ney, of Friedens, Pa. delivered an in- spiring address based on Rev. 1:8 Af- ter another hymn was sung, the cer- emonies pertaining to the laying of the corner stone were performed by the paster, Rev. Young, after which the audience was favored with a Male Quartette; at this point a free will of- fering was taken while the choir sang a few familiar hyms.. Rev. Ed. Miller, of Springs, offered the closing prayer and pronounced the benediction. The day was ideal with the excep- tion of the hot sun, making it uncom- fortabie for an open air meeting. No doubt this service will be long remembered by all who were present. The beautiful marble corner stone is the gift of Geo. Grose, the popular tombstone man of Cumberland, Md. FIREMEN’S MEMORIAL DAY. While the Firemen had planned to hold a short memorial service in the cemetery immediately after the G. A. R’s. had finished their work, their laudable purpose had to be abandoned through the inclemency of the weath- er. The Firemen gathered in the bandstand after the G. A. R. memor- ial service was concluded when A. M. Schaffner, editor of The Commercial, delivered a short address. A detail was sent to ;the cemetery to strew the grave with flowers of the one Fireman who had been visited by the angel of death. JOINT MEMORIAL SERVICES.

GRADUATING EXERCISES (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1) Am mm ~ a'symbolical conception of the cos- mic can be imprisoned in books and institutions of learning, owed appre- ciation and slight understanding of it are the attributes of culture, not cul- ture itself. Education and these are, respectively, means and end. But to attain this poise, balance, faculty for seeing beauty, you must bring some- thing to education, for the benefits derived from it are proportional to the strength of character of the per- son taught. Strong minds and char- acters, like healthy bodies, are often portions of an inheritance. All strong characters must have been fundamen- tally, so from the beginning, for no education, whether physical, or men- tal. can make complete reparation for a defect in nature although much may be done to remedy it. As gold may be extracted from quartz and diamonds taken from clay so may strong minds and characters be built on foundations that, seemingly, are weak, and of material that, to all ap pearances is worthless. All our fu- ture experiences should serve to this end, namely,—of erecting worthy temples of Intellect and Character. Each one of us must be able to say with Ulysses: ‘‘I am a part of all that I have met, yet all experience is an arch, where- thru gleams that untravelled world, whose margins fade, forever and for- ever, when I move.” In order that we may the more wish to make our experiences part of ourselves, we should choose those walks of life whose environment ap- peals to us and where we are the more likely to meet experiences worthy of becoming a portion of our egos. The environment should be congenial, for nothing so stimulates or stupefies action as agreeable or disagreeable surroundings. Besides it is inevitable that, in course of time, we also shall take the impress of that which encircles, encloses us. We, the Class of ’13, have finished the first step towards our appren- ticeships to our future tasks and now must say farewell to the M. H. S., where we have studied four years, and to the faculty who have started us on our journey up the thorney steeps of knowledge. More has been learned from them personally than from all our textbooks: For living | knowledge must be imparted by a gifted master, or mistress, who has a | complete mastery of the subject and who is able to breathe life into the dry dust of facts. There is an in- finite difference between the spoken and the written work. A tone of the voice, an expression of the counte- nance are far more illuminatipg than whole volumes of notes and commen- taries. So whatever of advantage we have gained in the four years spent in the H. S. we owe almost entirely to our helpful and inspiring teachers who have instructed us, moulded us. And we, the Class of ’13, assert with all our hearts, that the names of Miss Goldsmith, Miss Hanford, Miss Lau- ver, Miss Anderson, Mr. Crunkleton, and Prof. Kretchman should be in- scribed in letters of gold on pedago- gue’s roll of honor. Tonight we are bidding farewell, not only to these our friends and ad- visers but also to each other. It seems inconceivable that we, who have been so intimately associated for years, must separate and each tread his separate path. And yet, tonight marks our dissolution and dispersion as a class. Tonight are cut those bonds which held our class together as am organization, but let us hope that those which bind our hearts have not been severed. We are now leaving the shelter of those four protecting walls of the school and are going forth intc the world either to stand upon our own feet or to totter and finally fall. We have however received the best the M. H. S. affords, and now our success or failure depends upon ourselves. But whatever our fates, let us, at least, endeavor to be what Confucius terms educated—that is—‘‘earnest, encour- aging and kind, earnest toward friends, encouraging and kind with our brothers.” Let us bear this in mind, if, in the course of our strug- gle, we chance among those who have had fewer opportunities than ourselves. Let us not bury our talents for fear lest they be stolen. nor yet, conscious of a self-suffciency, hold aloof in contempt, but let us be en- couraging and kind,” let us add our mites to the great cause of general ante anc, let us multiply our talents until, as a reward, we exert a | regal influence for the better, in hu- | man hearts and enter upon a King- i ship, or a Queenship in the best and ‘ truest sense of the word. ALUMNI BANQUET. Anime The banquet, held in the basement of the Brethren church, after com- mencement, was one of the most suc- cessful affairs of the year and thor- oughly enjoyed by the seventy-four | present. Mr. Fred Rowe acted as toastmaster. The toast by Dr. Truxal was cleverly written in poetry and | brought forth much laughter and applause. The following . menu was RESOLVED, ~ served: ? Pickles Celery Olives THAT WE ARE ENGAG- Chicken Salad ED IN FURNISHING HOMES. WE WANT OUR HOMES To LOOK FINE, DON'T You ? Saratogo Flakes Peas - Sandwiches Orange Cream Ice Cream Cake | Cheese Balls Coffee The following program was then carried out: Address of Welcome—James B. Hostetler, Pres. of the Association. Response—Lee Austin, Pres. of Class of ’13. Addresses by Rev. A. E. Truxal, D. D., Prof. W. H. Kretchman, Miss Sarah Goldsmith, and Prof. L. D. Crunkleton. Reports of Secretary and Treasurer. Election of Officers. Business Discussion. LEANS WIN OVER FATS. The memorable base ball duel took : place in Slicer’s Park on Tuesday, starting in the afternoon and ending [ at sunset. It was surely a hotly con- tested game between the fat and lean men of Meyersdale. No one could tell how the game would terminate until the last man was out in the ninth inning when the result was 16 to 17 in faver of the leans. : The game was immensely enjoyed by those who were present, although many had a late supper on account of the streneous game that had beeu played- Altogether the game afford- ed much amusement, even if the play ground fund has not been helped very materially.
