Commencement Exercises
Mark End of High School
For Graduating Class
“Opportunity is Yours” was the
keynote of the Commencement
address by John McNees last eve
ning at the Nome School auditor
ium where four high school grad
uates and 18 grade school stud
ents received their diplomas.
With his usual ease and elo
quence John McNees stressed
more education for the graduates,
calling on them to learn all they
ccoild in their chosen fields, and
admonishing them to return to
their homeland when they have
finished, as this last frontier is a
land of golden opportunity. He
pressed the fact that the resources
are here and that the young people
must have faith in the area and
learn to see the possibilities that
surround them in this fast grow
ing ncrrthland, which is theirs by
birthright.
He closed his address with the
well known poem “If” by Kipling.

ferred effectiveness of six tariffs
containing the increases until
