Miss Pen- hale is fit present attending Normal School in London’ it is my extreme privilege to he before you this afternoon as the Valedictorian for tlm graduating jdass of 1OL I certainly consider it an honour and it is therefore with great pleasure that I come to make a formal farewell for the Mass which J represent. Evely sincere iarewell must carry along with it .■& note of sadness as> well as a feel­ ing of joy. The sort of farewell Which we must say suggests to me Something in addition. ' We are like a young nation stirred for the first time in our lives by a feeling .of seif-cotisciousness, Under that impetus OUr vision is beginning to stretch beyond the confines of a ■school and' a community home. A new and greater adventure opens befpre us, Much of the history of the world is but the history Of in- .dividuals who said farewells to the things they had learned to cherish tand love and went out, not knowing whither they went-^—“to strive, to •seek, to find and not to yield." We say farewell to the school -which has provided us with the equipment for our*first great self# -.appointed undertaking. If we have worked conscientiously and played with enthusiasm, we have .prepared ■our minds and bodies adequately for the risks and difficulties and Jiazards which will beset us in the future. The adventure will be like ■a. great marathon race which will occupy our whole lives. There will lie many dropping off but the goal Will be high and as lionie as w® wish to make it. The entries for the race will be many and varied; -ithere will be doctors and lawyers, teachers and nurses, clerks and stenographers, carpenters, and en­ gineers, orators and ministers. 'There will be scholarships to win, goals to achieve, operations to per­ form, mountains to tunnel, rivers to span, and .audiences to thrill with •silver-tongued oratory, but each will have in mind the ultimate goal, •a way of life. We graduates who have left the Exeter High iSchooli return' warm thanks to our tdachers who have striven to prepare us foi* our fu- welfare. Our principal, Mr. _ Wethey, also deserves great credit for the way in which lie nas carried out his duties (both in regard to •.academic work and sports. « ■When we graduates or this year think of this world in which -we live with all its modern conveniences, we cannot help but look uacK on those 'graduates of past years and think I ter besides his wife of the dark world m which they] two brothers and one sister.

Cannot this present generation take a lesson from as we look forward to the years are to come and to what we hope to accomplish?

We are sadi because the days have gone when the four walls of the school re-echoed with our shouts, but we are happy because we have had the opportunity of at­ tending such a school and because we found such worthy friends there. And most of all we are happy be­ cause it is oui' privilege toffee young men and women in a period of his­ tory 'beset with difficulties. The opportunity is ours, to prove that youth in spite of modern criticisms does not shrink from, but is anxious to face show its strength and over-coming them.

To neglect doing so is to invite loss. Big dealers observe this rule, Why should consumers be expected to do otherwise? ■Qur local merchants practically believe in this sound financial doctrine. They are not so contracted in their views as to expect the people of Exeter and its surrounding country tn do otherwise. Yet these same merchants rightly expect Exeter buyers to give them the preference when they have money to spend for mer­ chandise. Now what is meant by this preference? It simply means that when anyone in Exeter or vicinity has pennies to spend for an article that lie’ll consult the Exeter mer­ chant before the intended purchase is made, compare wliat the Exeter merchant lias to offer with offerings of other merchants and when he finds that the Exeter man will do as well by him as any other merchant that the- deal will be -made in Exeter. The Exeter merchants have no desire to see anyone penalized by deal­ ing with them. Justice and common sense impel them to so tliin,k of their fellow-citizens. Local patriotism on the part of the mer­ chants asks no more, Sound sense on the part of the customer will do no less. Merchant and -customer must hang Otherwise they will hang separately. * * * * * * « • together WHY HE LOST HIS JOB Just the other day the boss in a good store was coming^down stairs when he- saw one of his clerks indulging in. the laziest and most comfortable and expansive yawn you ever saw1 in all. your life. This is what followed. ' • "Young man’.Lsaid the,, boss/.'"If you can’t get enough sleep between the time this store closes and the time you get down to work, I’ve no use for you. No one workis for me with yawns like that,under his skin. Take a day off at my expense and find an­ other job.’’ Tire young fellow is in' the ranks of the unemployed. The young fellow, or any other fellow who is not “up" on his toes soon finds himself “out" of a job. Here is another case: A hired man rather than walk three miles to his job bought a ramshackle car. His cash was low and he "helped" himself to the gasoline from his. boss's tank. The boss caught him and fired him even though the poor dupe whined "I meant to pay it all back," The hired man who “helps” himself usually finds that the King has provided a .highway where the walking is good, The man is working now for the ancient firm of Street and Walker. Still a third instance: A local farmer came upon his hired boy having the best sort of cigarette smoke while handling straw in the straw barn. The boy was taken -by the neck, carefully helped to the, house, paid his Avages and sent to join the ranks of the unemployed1. The boy or youth who thinks more of a cigarette- than he does of the safety of his employer’s property is a mighty poor asset to anybody. These are a few cold facts worth cudding on.
