9 GRADUATE INTO HIGHER LIFE'S WORK - "The commencement exercises of the Chandler
High school began Sunday evening when services were held on the school house
lawn.  Prayer was offered by R. C. Hakes, while Bishop Henry L. Peterson
delivered the innvocation.  Several songs were given.  Rev. W. C. Miller
delivered the sermon of the evening to the class, 'The Quest for Wisdom.'  In
lucid and eloquent language he pointed the way to the young people for a useful
life and gave them many pointers that were as helpful to the older folks as
well.  About 1,000 attended the services....
The principal address was delivered by J. L. Felton of the Tempe Normal, who
took for his theme the class motto, 'Impossible, is un-American.'  Prof. Felton
dwelt on the miracle of America, of the Arizona desert, of Chandler, and told
how the impossible had been achieved.  He gave an interesting sketch of European
history.  He also admonished the graduates on the value of wisdom vs.
popularity, and told how one could be popular, and then be forgotten, or give
the world real genius and live forever.
In the absence of President Peterson, of the school board, Prof. Keeley
presented the diplomas, while Rev. W. C. Miller delivered the invocation and
benediction.  Those graduating were:  PAULINE E. APPLEBY, ALMA CLARA BEYE, MABEL
CHITWOOD, DOROTHY GRAY, DANIEL GRUWELL, RUTH JOHNSON, WINONA MARSH, CHLEO
THRAILKILL and CHAS. WILLIAMS."
