Highland recorder. (Monterey, Highland County, Va.) 1877-1972, 1911-05-19
CFABBGTT0M HIGH SCHOOL

The 1901 session of Crabbot
tom High School closed on tn
evening of May 9th with simpl
but we'll given exercises. A yer.
interesting and impressive address
to the graduates was made by th'
Hon. B. H. Hiner, of Franklin, W
Va. The remainder of the com
mencement program is printed be-
low.
Blue Grass District has reason tc
be proud of the first graduating
class, while small in number it has
made record in scholastic attain
ments that sets high standard for
succeeding classes. There was lit
tie difference in the abilities of the
two members, but on account of
much unavoidable absence from
school, Miss Salie Brown Chew was
given second honors. and Mr.. Rob
ert Eagle Mauzy first place. The
many friends of this young lady
and gentlemen predict brilliant
future for them. 1t is expected
that the former will fit herself for
a teacher at the Harrisonburg Nor
NAL School, and that Mr.. Mauzy
will enter one of the State Colleges.
The work of the other classes in
the school was also very satlsfac-
tory this year There is no ques-
ton that the Crabbottom High
School is of great advantage to the
community. The patrons can, and
are,, getting at q slight expense an
education for their children which
would cost many times that amount
in a schoal at some distance.
Another thing worthy of mention
is the govd attendance; with an
average enrolment of about twenty
eight, the report shows an average
attendance of nearly %. A most
creditable showing when the bad
weather of our Highland winters is
considered; no child can make good
progress unless he is in regular at
tendacne. On an average for this
year fhows a most praisewothy in
terest on the part of the parents in
getting the most possible good from
the school.
Taken all together the 1910-1911
session of Crabbottom High School
has been an unqualified success.
