VACATION OF
WILLIS SCHOOL
CLOSING EXERCISES LAST
WEDNESDAY, EVENING
Election on June 5th for Estab-
fishing a High School-The
Program.

On laSI w cuneSday evening the
Willis school gavea closing con-
cert. Fully a half hour before the
exercises began the large school
room a filled. 1t was an excell-
ent audience, and perfect order
prevailed.
In the pantomine, Tit for Tat"
the small girls acted with remark
able grace and ease, to the accom-
panient Of the song and music.
The small boys dressed as Teddy
Bears gave a drill which was al
most as real as a bear show.
In the play "Dinah's Quilting
Party" there was splendid acting,
and the crowd enjoyed richly the
peculiar characters which were
pcrsonatcd.
Miss Essie Bethea as principal,
Miss Rosa Galloway as assistant,
and Mss Dele Roper, music
teacher have closed very success
full years work in this one of the
best rural schools in Marlboro.
The recent high school law as
amended, provides for the election
for a high school for state aid
where a rural school has as many
as fifteen pupils over the seventh
grade work, with one teacher for
that work. The trustees and pat
rons have signed a petition and
been granted an election to vote
upon a high school for the Willis
district. These trustees and pat
rons have always meant business,
when they talk education, and are
willing to work to make theirs a
still better school. We hope to see
several of our rural schools take
up high school work in the near
future. The fact is if educated in
a city school a bov is, educated
away from country lite. There is
abundant material for good school
both IN rural district and town.
Already our town schools are over
crowded. Those interested in high

are TO be commended for their
