SCHOOL YEAR ENDED LAST WEEK
Nine Graduated From LacIede High School and
Twelve From Grammar Department

, full years work last week, and the
occasion was celebrated with ap'
propriate exercises and ceremonies,
q part of which were mentioned in
the BLADE last week.
The grammar school commence
ment was held Thursday evening,
when an excellent program was
rendered by members of all the
grades and diplomas were awarded
to twelve pupils who had completed
eighth grade work. The graduates
from this department were Robert
Calvin Sweem, who won first
honors; Buel Tracy Eccles, second,
and Daisy May Ash, Claras Folsom
Barbee, Mary Ellen Estes, Ellen
May Garside, Alvena Marie Good
wine, Lee Harry Maybee, Willard
A. Maple, Harold Griffin Standby,
Amy Belle Stuff1ebean and Stella
Marie Watson. The grade pupils
have done excellent work the past
year and their work has been a
credit to them and to all the teachers
under whose charge they were.
Friday night the high school
commencement program was de-
livered and was different this year
in that instead Of the usual essays
and orations, the patrons of the
school had the pleasure of listening
to Q most interesting and inspiring
address by Prof. E. M. Sipple of
Monroe City, a former superin-
tendent of the Laclede schools.
The subject of Prof. Sipple's ad-
dress was Buds and Bubbles, "
and he impressed upon the minds
Df ms hearers the TacT CnaC Chlngs
are not always what they seem,
and that the things that appear
most alluring are often the things
that are least practical and of no
value, while other things that ap-
parently are least interesting often
develop into something OF lasting
beauty and worth. 1t was one OF
the best addresses ever heard IN
Laclede. The class song and class
auartette showed careful training
and were well received.
Hon. c. G. Bigger, in behalf OF
the Laclede board of education,
presented diplomas to the nine
graduates: Dora Coins, Ethel Kent,
Helga M. johnson, Maud Marie
Matsell, Victor w. Lomax, Leroy
G. Welsh, AIva F. Englehart, Fred
L. Clinefelter and M. Orville
Sweem. First honors went to
Fred L. Clinefelter and M. OrVllle
Sweem won second place. AS the
BLADE has said before, this is
probably the strongest class ever
graduated from Laclede high school
and their teachers through the four
wears of the course deserve all
possible credit, while the class is
to be congratulated on the ability
they have shown.
Since the first class was graduted
from Laclede high school fifteen
years ago, there have been many
changes in the work. Much has
been added and some subjects that
were of no practical benefit to any
BODY have been cut out of the
course. It takes a great deal more
work.to earn diploma now than
at the beginning of the present
high school system. Through all
these years the gentlemen who have
had charge of the schools have
Iabored to make the work as
practical as possible and to give
me boys and girls of girls Of La
elede the best training possible.

JOCKEY DAY
Held the Last Saturday in
Each Month Hereafter.

Tracy City is to have regular
Jockey Day on the last Saturday
of each month hereafter This
is a suggestion that has been ad~
vanced and supported by every
business man SO far approached
on the subject.
Tracy City is geologlcally the
meeting point between Pelham
and Sequatchie valley. The great
stocK.raising couatrv west of us
and the important eastern stock
users find this their natural
meeting point. Tracy City,
Coalmont, Mouteagle II n d al
jacent territory buy annually
hundreds of horses ani mules,
and there is no reason why Tracy
City should not afford the stock
raisers an opportunity to offer
their producer IN open marxet
We buy horses, mules, cows,
beefs, hogs, sheep and every
thing in The stock line, pairing
highest market prices as u rule.
1t has been suggested that the
last Saturday in each month here
after be designated Jockey Day
and that all producers and trad.
ers in stock of any kind be invit-
ed to bring their stock here on
those days to offer them for sale
in open market or trade for other
desirable stock. Our business
men are sufficiently interested to
provide suitable h'tchlng racks
and necessary enclosures, and
will do everything in their power
to make Jockey Day permanent
and profitable day to all visitors
by special offerings for that oc-
casion.
