VOL. XXX.. . NO. 4492, LASKA EMPIRE “ALL THE NEWS ALL THE TIME” JUNEAU, ALASKA, SATURDAY MAY 28, l‘)27. MEMBER OF ASSOCIATED PRESS ———— e PRICE TEN CENTS LlNDBERGH FLIES, PARIS TO BRUSSELS LARGE CLASS IS GRADUATED AT. JUNEAU HI Final Commencemenl Exer-j cises Held—Able Address | by U. S. Atty. Harding. | The largest group of boys and girls ever to be graduated from the Juneau High School, 19 in number, received their diplomas last night at the exercises in the High school auditorium. The hall was crowded and many were forced to stand. Justin W. Hard- ing, who gave the principle address, ppoke interestingly and convincingly, and the remainder of the program | went off smoothly and creditably.| The platform, upon which the class to be graduated sat, as well as the speakers, was decorated charmingly with flowers, ferns and potted plants, and presented a fitting background for the girls in their white frocks and their bouquets of flowers. The Junior Orchestra did splendid-| ly, as people have grown to onn-u[ it to from past performances, The invocation, which was given by the! Rev. C. E. Rice, was simple and appropriate. Arthur Burke and Ben Stewart did very croditably in their flute duet and the plaintive strains of the Melody in F seemed appro- priate to the mood of the evening. Dorothy Jessop sang “A Day” charmingly, and the trio given by Brian Harland, W Herriman, and Dana De Vighne, w greatly enjoyed. “Whither Goest Thou?"” Mr. Harding took for the main | topic of his address the old greeting of tho cross roads, “Whither Goest Thou?” The fascination of the tide- waters and ships coming into and; leaving ports was mentioned by him and the class to be graduated was aptly compared to a great vessel put- ting out to sea, with a cargo, un-} known to the by-stander, unknown adventures ahead, to enter unknown ports. “The class is outward bound and goes iito a new world. The world’s progress from primitive days was traced and the vast improve- ments in transportation, amusements, and communication brought out clear-| ly, also the fact that the class was outward bound into a new and amaz- ing world, and into an old world new only to them,” said Mr. Harding. “Youth itself is not new, nor is flaming youth. The fathers of mem- bers of this class, no doubt put on their derby hats, climbed into the| old buggy and thought they were the last word in flaming youth. Fash- ions change but human nature re mains much the same.” Man Product of Evolution “Mankind is a product of evolution, the processes of which are old and; the records dim, was the beginning| of a short explanation of the devel-| opment of mankind,” Mr. Harding #aid, “Man has no memory of his past, and some men, when they view-| ed some of their supposed ancestors, ! hated to admit their decendance,| even, in Tennesse, and tried to elimi- nate their distant past by legislative| enactment. But in spite of this legis- lation the past remains, not only in archeological records, but in man himself. The old Neanderthal Man sleeps in us all, physically, mentally, spiritually, and morally. In view of some of the acts of mankind, the| idea that occasionally our deeds are | influenced by the remnants of the Neanderthal, instead of being done| deliberately after long reasoning, is| more just to Divine Providence than planning them on it.”~ Mr. Harding mentioned the great struggle of mankind, as something of which to be proud. The floods,| famines, volcano eruptions, pestil-| ence, and other forces which have| attempted, in vain, to impede the) onward march can only, now, be! imagined, and the heroes have vanish- -ed into oblivion. The great drama of lita continues, unto its ultimate goal, he said, even though the actors of the drama pass like the snows of yesterday. Man now feels a sense of responsibility to the world, his country, state and his family, instead of just to himself as formerly. Old Standards Serve Purpose In the struggle of mankind up- ward, certain codes have developed, Mr. Harding said, and though they may seem imperfect and outworn, to the young people about the step into the world as masters of their own destiny and captains of their own souls, they still serve the demands of the well being and happineau, of the whole people better than any | rules which the individual can build | in a day. He urged the voung m=°n and women to start out into the world with the accumulated . know!- edge and wisdom of centuries, in- stoad f owaiting to learn everything| from hard experience. p Cannot Beat Lif Game Life must be played according to the rules, and one cannot, beat the game, went on Mr. Hnrdlng, it- solf cannot be cheated, the only one who can be cheated is the person | | | | | | | | | | |dead Wants to Stay > Gloria de anrcs, who has been mllcd the ‘‘Bootleg Queen,” wants to stay in !

Six men are dead and one seriously in- jured as the result of an explosion in No. 3 mine of the Victor American Fuel Company at Delagua, 18 miles northwest of here. One hundred and fifty-two men were in the mine at the time of the blast. All, with the exception of the and injured, reached the sur- face safely through the air shafts, Dust from an explosion is believed to have caused the Dblast. GRADUATES OF JUN AI, TO CONTINUE Higher education is the goal of |the majority of the members of the 1927 graduating class of the Juneau High School.
