Commencement
Exercises
Of the Cochran High School.
The graduation exercises of the
Cochran High School at the opera
house closed one of the most suc
cessful records in the history of our
school. The graduates were: Har
vey Asliell, Jeff Morgan, Tom Bai
ley, Misses Pearle Taylor, Dollie
Peacock and Edna Maylor.
This fortunate sextette is entitled
to enter, without examination, any
of the higher institutions of learn
ing in the state, as our school is on
the accredited list.
Prof. Browning has done wonder
ful work in the short time he has
been here, building the school from
an enrollment of 137 to something
over 200, and this was done under
1 great disadvantages. By efficiency,
force of character and intelligent
management, our school h:is been
kept on the accredited list, sis it was
not really entitled to it when based
upon equipment and number of tea
chers.
Back up Prof. Browning with
sufficient funds and he will give us
the best school in the third congres
sional district. Provide him with
teachers and boarding places and
next term be will have 250 to 300
pupils.
We can and must have a school
second to none in this part of the
country. A good school is, no
doubt the very best investment we
could make. Education means pros
perity. Lay the foundation well
and strong, and there wiil be no
doubt as to our future welfare.
Education is the great primal
force behind everything that goes to
make up a staunch, progressive and
enlightened citizenship. A citizen
ship that invariably looks well to the
moral,spiritual and material welfare
of any community. Give us educ
ation and the other good things will
naturally follow.
Electric lights, water works,indus
trial institutions sink into insignif
iceance, when compared with prop
er educational training for the
youths of our land. Money may
take wings and fly off; industrial
'mentions sink beneath the crash
of rjieriodical panics; your doors
closed by the sheriff, and
during a year olhTTsToWAft* 1 ntWA
reverses the accumulations of years
may be swept away; put into your
fluids head all the education he will
take or that you can possibly give
him, and you have bestowed upon
him treasures that moths and rust
cannot corrupt; panics cannot
sweep away, and thieves slip in and
steal. Fill his head instead of his
pocket, and you will transmit to
posterity a stronger, better and
broader heritage. One able to cope
with the great possibilities of the
future, and take their rightful pe
tition in the front rank of civiliz
ation.
Money ig all right, it helps us to
get all these good things. It re
wards genius for its long hours of
toil and sacrifice. It make possible
the accomplishment of great efforts.
Dense ignorance and poverty go
hand in hand fomenting strife, prej
udice and discord.
Show me the man whose educa-
tional advantages have liven poor
and is broad enough and has sense
enough to realize that his opportun
ities have been decreased a hundred
fold, and we will show you the man
who will put forth every effort to
give bis child something that he
has felt the need of every day of his
life.
With all the force of our nature
and with hearts full of tender solic
itude for the welfare of our com
munity, we implore the class of
1910 to set their minds and hearts
strong and unalterable upon the
completion of the work so nobly be
gun, and let no obstacle stand in the
way. “Man is ever in search of
strength. It is the strong man
with power that scales the heights.
To l>e strong is to be great; and it
is the privelege of greatness to sat
isfy every desire, every aspiration.
But strength is not for the few a
lone; it is for all and the way to
strength is simple. Proceed this
very moment to the mountain top
of the strength you possess, and
whatever may happen do not come
down. I)o not weaken under ad
versity. Resolve to remain as
strong, and as highly enthused dur
ing the darkest night of adversity
as you are during the sunniest day
of prosperity. Do not feel disap
pointed when things seem disap
pointing. Keep your eye single
upon the same brilliant future re
gardless of circumstances, condit
ions or events. Do not lose henrt
when things go wrong. Continue
undisturbed in your original re
solve to make all things go right.
To be overcome by adversity and
threatning failure is to lose
strength; to always remain in the
same lofty determined mood is to
constantly grow in strength. Be
true to the power that is in you: be
always strong as you are. The
man who never weakens when
things are against him will grow
stronger and stronger untill all
things will delight to be for him.
He will finally have all the strength
he may desire or need. Be always
strong and you will always be
stronger” The above quotation
was taken from one of the leading
scientists of the country, and should
be an inspiration to every one
of this class. It matters not how
difficult the obstacles seem, if
your desire is strong enough, it will
remove every diffaculty and you
can reach the very mountain top of
of your aspirations. Bear in mind
the splendid, inspirational address
made by Prof. R. E. Parks of the
University at Athens, practical,
logical convincing, scintillating,
with truth aptly put. Remember
what education did for Denmark
and what it will do for you as an
individual and as a component part
of our community.

troubled with my kidneys and blad

came alarmed at my condition. I
suffered also with dull heavy head
aches and the action of my bladder
