A fitting climax to the joyous
occasion was the exercises OF
the graduating class last evening.
The class consisted Of Hollie Lee
Harmap, Charley Webster Cromer,
Miss Beulah Lee George, Miss Eula
May CLARK, Miss Luvie Catherine
Craps, Miss Minnie Della Harmau,
Miss Harriet Mae Belle Hook, Miss
Ernestine Grsichen, Mics Patsy
Henrietta George, Miss Emma Es'
tel!e Koon. These exercises were
beyond the average of those of SINH
lar occasions. The young ladies and
gentlemen were in their happiest
mood and sheir delivery was almost
perfect. The subjects were timely
and appropriate, dealing with ques'
tions of the day that they in the
60 ming years will have to face and
solve for themselves.
The music was of an unusually
high order and the songs would have
done credit to professionals. The
teachers and scholars are deserving
of much credit for the manner in
which the exercises were brought of.
It was splendid advertisement for
the school and doubtless will draw
many pupils from the adjacent coun-
try. This school is doing a good
work for our town end county and
our people are more united now than
ever before in their purpose to give
it more liberal support and more
hearty encouragement.
In few choice and appropriate
words of advice to the young people
Congressman A. F. Lever presented
the diplomas to the graduating class.
One of. the pleasing incidents of
the evening was the presentation of
the beautiful bouquets to each OF the
class, and to Mrs. Fannie Roof and
Mrs. Emma Grsiehen as teachers.

discovered sitting In front Of hut and
crying I'm hungry. Won't papa bring

an extensive repertoire, She played with
Junius Brutus Booth John Wilkes
Booth, and Edwin Booth with James

with John Drew and Miss Adams. She
has played walking ladies', ingenues and
