Kearse teams. This being the midway

On last Monday morning, June 2, l902
our school after being IN session nine
months, was duly brought to close tol
the summer vacation. Many of the stu
dents have made rapid advancement
during the past session under the strictest
rules of accuracy and intellectual train
ing. During the past two sessions oul
school has been enjoying the fruitful ano
abiding labor of Mr. G. F. Wertz, OF New
berry, S. C. The first year that he came
in our midst he took charge of the primary
department of our school, which he man
aged with skill and success, but on account
of his intellectual ability and training be
was destined not to remain in the rear
but come to the front. Consequently he
was elected principal of our school for the
past session. 1t is without the slightest
hesitation that we are duty bound to speak
highly of the manner in which he has
successfully and highly creditably man
aged his school duties for the past session
