| The first number on the program for
| Commencement week was the sermon to
the graduates Sunday evening, Nav Is.
| given by Rev. John Hood of Greensboro
| Mr.. Hood took his text from Titus 2: 10:
mot purloining, but showing all good
| fidelity; that we may adorn the doctrine of
| God our Saviour in all things" In
his sermon he showed how different per-
| sons adorn the doctrines of Christ, and how
| Jesus himself adorned them. He then
gave some very excellent advice to the
+ graduating class. Mr.. Hood has an excep-
tionally rich and beautiful style and his
sermon was greatly enjoyed by large
crowd. A new feature of Commencement
week for the academy is the Senior Howl.
! The seniors were planning on a straw ride
with refreshments later in the evening,
but a heavy rain proven ted this. They
were invited in company with the teachers
to spend the evening at Mary Roots. The
yening passed very pleasantly with games,
music and stories. After the teachers had
been escorted safely home the seniors sere-
naded them and several Others The Glass
Day exercises were given Tuesday night in
the academy hall. The hall was beautifully
decorated with long ropes of evergreens
festooned from the center of the ceiling to
the coE1ers and sides and around the walls.

winter, was in attendance for the prone
nades, and the exercises were very good.
