COMMENCEMENT
WEEK OVER
The Closing Exercises We're a
Marked Success

The senior class, assisted by several |
members of the high school, gave their
class day exercises Thursday evening |
in the Alexander hall. The hall had
been tastefully decorated for the occa-
sion in the class colors, green and
white, and the class motto "Truth,'
done in large green letters on white
back ground was placed above the
stage.
The main feature of the evening was
the essays read by the members of the
graduating class. The papers were
exceptionally we'll written and showed
preparation and pains on the part the of
senior girls. Olyve Frances Marcyes
read paper on 1.-The Effects of Books
on Character;" Laura Fern Clark,
"The Power of Kindness Maggie
Shook, "The Isthmian Canal.''
The high school chorus, trained by
Miss Jessie Frances Smith, gave two
selections, and in consideration of the
fact that this was their maiden at
tempt at chorus work, did remarkably
we'll. The trio given by the three
senior girls was we'll received by the
audience. Perhaps the most attractive
part of the program was the Ladies
of Cranford," little three act farce,
based on the novel Crawford. The
high school girls, dressed in quaint
costumes to represent the members of
old-fashioned Crawford society, played
their parts in a pleasing manner.
Solos were sung by Miss Millie Smith
and Miss Ida Marcyes. The Marcyes
orchestra played several selections.
Those who had the class day exercises
in charge can congratulate themselves
on it's success. A large crowd was in
attendance and a general satisfaction
was expressed at the manner in which
the parts were given.
The regular commencement exercises
were held on Friday evening. Super
intendent Blair, together with the
school board and the members of the
graduating class occupied seats on the
stage.
The commencement address was
given by DR.. Bagley of Dillon. "Chas-
ing Ideals" was the subject and was
handled i'm a most able manner by Mr..
Ragley. Superintendent Blair pre-
sented the diplomas to the class and
expressed to them his appreciation of
the manner in which they had acquit-
ted themselves as students. He also
spoke to the board words of thanks for
their interest shown in school matters
during the past year.
The Forsyth high school for
a school of it's size is exceptionally
we'll equipped and it is to be hoped
that every pupil who enters will make
strong effort to complete his course.
: What the high school needs is more
pupils, more emulation and more en-
thusiasm.

How many yards does it take fer a

give we sixty cents yard-cash.
What dye say, Mr.. Farusworth? Is
it a bargain?"
"All right groaned the merchant.
1T leaves me nothing, but III do it
as a favor. OF course you want some
black lace for trimmings?"
Sure" replied Sam.
Something about twenty-five cents
a yard" suggested Mrs. Rounds. She
felt like one who, having fallen from
grace, decides to go to perdition with
flying colors. No one in Rehoboth
ever had possessed black silk gown
with lace trimmings.
Here is something at thirty cents

inspecting cheaper qualities, on which
Mr. Farnsworth fixed higher prices,
Mrs. Rounds consented to the pur-
chase of eight yards, though Mr..
Farnsworth advised ten.
Sans browning triumph was the
purchase of a black lace shawl, listed
at one hundred and fifty dollars. After
