the salutatory, read by Miss Hettie
The honor essay was read
by Miss Annie Bordeaux, and then
followed piano solo by Miss l.. .Jen-
kins. The orator, Nr. Sanderlin, was
next introduced.
He-chose as his subject 1.-The I'm
portance and Dignity of Teaching as
a Vocation. -

the editor who comes by proxy IN his
paper md SAYS "howdy" and tells
you about the county and State; and

He discussed teaching under two
heads. L. The scop, of teaching and
i2) the past, present and future tense
of teaching. He illustrated the past
by the way they used to spell out of

ture.
He drew a glorious picture of the
future of North Carolina
and said that the time will soon
come when teaching will be the best
paid profession. In the next fifty
years the teacher is destined to be
great moral power in the South, be-
cause people will recognize mind rs
the standard The best savings
bank in the world is money laid
away in the educated brain OF your
We are sorry we attempted to
give even this brief outline of Mr..
address. 1t is impOssi-
BILE to put on paper his wit, his
many apt illustrations, the flash of
his eye, the magnetism of his pres
ence and the music Of his voice. We
had as well attempt to chain the
flash.
We had intended printing his adj
dress in full, but, unfortunately, he
speaks only from brief notes, never
writing out his address. In present
ing the outlines we hive done him an
knhey>do not give an idea
of the grafton. 1t was beautiful. 1t
was. eloquent. 1t was most thor
oughly enjoyed by everyone present.

diplomas were presented to the grad
uating class and the degree of A. B.
