of that class better men and women, the
kind that this world needs
Last Monday afternoon the Seniors Of
the high school held their class day eX.
ercises in the high school room A large
and appreciative audience listened to
the farewell thoughts of the graduates.
After music by the school and a piano
solo by Miss Edith Henson, Miss Blanche
Ida Pugsley read her essay on "Wo-
mans Duty TO the Future" She stated
in well chosen words the position wo-
man had held for the past few centuries
and made a strong plea for her to take a
more active part in solving the problems
of the future.
Miss Aria Gates Holiday followed
with, "A Southern View of the Slavery
Question" She showed the total de-
pendence of the black man upon his
more enlightened white brother, proved
his inferiority as an Independent citizen
and concluded that his only true station
was on the plantation of the white plan
ter.
Mr.. Chas Pringle spoke on "Expan.
sion" He showed how we had become
great by enlarging our territorial posses
sions and that our only hope for future
prosperity, was to allow the calamity
howler to howl and to acquire more ter
ritory.
Misses Bagley and Sober played a
piano duet which was followed by Mr..
Marble Slingluff on, "America and the
open Door" He spoke of the dissolu-
tion Of the Chinese Empire and Amer.
ica's duty as a national factor in the
east.
Miss Charlotte l.. McCloskey brought

Miss Edna Schwartz's essay on, THE
Mission of Literature" was very elo-
quent production. She said that the
masterpieces of artists had played a
most wonderful part in shaping the
minds Of a nation and developing a
more complete and enlight civili-
zation.
After music by the school, Miss Leora
Martha Morton concluded by giving her
essay, Has God plan for every Mans
Life" She showed the constancy Of
Gods laws. His determining the work Of
each individual whether of plant or Of
animal origin and of mans great duty
to perform the work that God has made
him particularly adapted to do.
The girls chorus rendered a very
pretty selection entitled, My Old Ken

afternoon exercises.
