Chincoteague High School Commence
menf,

menI.
The closing exercises of the Ohinco
teague High School began last Sun
day morning with an eloquent Bac
calaureate sermon in the Methodist
Protestant church by the pastor, Rev
j. ID. Smith, before a very large au
dience.
On Monday evening the Commence
ment was held in the same building,
before a much larger audience. Pro-
lessor Swimley and his efficient as
sistants have cause to feel proud oil
the excellent showing of the year OF
1908. The position of principal of a
school is not bed of roses, but
scholars and patrons by their CO
operation can greatly encourage
those in the work. Prof. Swimley's
efforts are untiring and unceasing, to
promote and benefit the school, and
the year just closed is one of the best
in its history.
To the school this year was added
the department of music and Miss
George Tracy appointed teacher.
During the year 9s pupils were en-
rolled. and at the close of school Is
received certificates of distinction for
the rapid progress they had made. The
success of this department was very
evident from the excellent manner in
which the musical part of the pro-
gram was rendered, the selections be-
ing in charge, almost entirely, of the
pupils of this department. The pro-
gram was a delightful one, each
part being well rendered and vigor-
ously applauded. We feel that is but
justice to say, it was one of the best
programs ever rendered by the Chin
colleague High School. All parts of
the program alike were deserving,
but special mention is to be made of
the beautiful piano duets 80 nicely
rendered by the Misses Watsons,
which showed the excellent training
they had received from their most
efficient teacher, the reading by Miss
Burton, the choruses rendered by the
pupils of the seventh, eighth and
ninth grades, the quartette and the
drill, the participants in which were
trained by Misses Luella Burton and
Matthews.
The class Grafton by the graduate,
Mr.. Marvin Davis, was of high char
acter and we'll delivered. Mr.. Davis
is an exceptionally bright and inter-
esting young man who has won the
esteem of all who know him. We
bespeak for him great success in the
future as a scholar. AS reward of
honor he received from Supt. G.. G.
Joynes a scholarship to the Washing
ton and Lee University, and as a
token of love from his parents beau
tiful gold watch.
The address by Rev. j. A. Edge
which was full of good advice to the
young people was ably delivered and
we'll received.
The first and second honors in each
grade, the grade in order given,
were as follows:
First-Mildred Groves, Elizabeth
Russell, Vivala Conner, Josephine
Clark, Halle Lewis, Emmett Fed
deman, Karl Redden, Imojeen Hill,
John Wheaton, Marvin Davis.
Second-Lillian White, Oliver Jes-
ter, Lelith Baker and Chas. Jones,
Robert Marshall, Anna Lynch, Fan
ME Lingo, LYDIA Lynch, Pansy Stef-
fins, Daniel Conant.
