The Lima Springs High School graduation was held at Nash's Star Opera Hall last Thursday evening. A male quartet opened the program, and Andrew E. Anderberg delivered the oration on the cyclical nature of history and the expanding circles of human progress, with references to Crete Greece and other nations in a broad comparative view.
The speaker draws parallels among Greece, the United States, and Cuba, arguing Greece shaped American independence while Cuba mirrors Crete under Turkish rule. He cites Spain's oppression of Cubans, U S protection of Hawaii, and Poland’s fate, then extols Greek language’s influence on the New Testament, literature, and history.
