use, have separated this week, each
launching out to pursue his individ
ual 'course.
It is gratifying that so many of
the high school graduates enter im
mediately upon college work. It is
an easy matter for a few parents to
give their young 3ons and daughters
the privilege of a college course, but
to a larger number it is at the cost
of sacrifice, hot 'he sacrifice is of
little consequence if those for whom
it is made appreciate the fact suffi
ciently to make them put forth their
best effort to reap a lasting benefit.
The people of Thomson have made
an effort to have a school from which
its graduates may enter any college
fully qualified to cope with the young
sters from any school, and it is with
keen interest that they watch the
splendid young girls and boys as
they match their intellectual capaci
ty with those of other places.
Thomson is proud of her contribu
tion to the world of letters and is
looking with confidence to the pres
ent college contingent to uphold and
add to her literary honors, but it will
be no easy task. It is well they
hoarded pleasure, for their work
time has begun.
Those leaving Tuesday were Misses
Helen Farmer, Willie White Smith,
and Pearl Kunnes, who entered Agnes
