COMMENCEMENT EXERCISES
Held at Court House Marked Closing
 of Successful School Year.

the Forrest City High School, ex- tending through two nights, last Thursday and Friday, were truly de- | lightful and marked a fitting close to profitable years work, in many re- spects, as should be the case, the most profitable in the history of the school.
 The first night was Recital night, Mrs. Horney's pupils entertaining the audience with evidence of their musical ability. The rendering of every selection was marked by self contidehce and composure that can come only from careful and sympa- thetic training. We trust that we may have the pleasure of hearing recitals by Mrs. Horney's pupils for many years.
 In addition to the regular musical numbers Thursday night, there, was reading contest between Misses Jennie Warshavsky and Elouise Bu- ford. Miss Warshavsky gave "A Boat Race" and Miss Buford, "How Ruby Played Both contestants are unusually gifted and received long and repeated applause.
 The program Friday night called forth universal admiration in every feature. Rev George II. kirker, pre- sided in his delightfully."- characteristic manner, and made every one feel that 1t was good to be there. The invoca- tion was offered by Dr. Gee. Mrs. Horney had charge of the music for this program also, and the first musical number was piano duet by Mrs. Horney and Miss Edna Aldridge one of her most Charming and talented pupils. This was followed by a beauti- ful solo by Miss Tipton, one of the two members of the graduating class. The graduating essays were both ex- cellent, giving evidence of careful preparation. MT. Ruford, whose sub- ject was "The Good Citizen" deliver ed his first, in a masterly oratorical manner, that delighted the audience and made him the recipient of many expressions of admiration. Miss Tip ton then read her paper, "The Value of an Ideal" in distinct and charm ing tone, captivating her hearers.
 Following beautiful vocal solo by Miss Bessie Mae Williams, the address of the evening was delivered by the Rev Edward T. Mabley, Rector of the Church of the Good Shepherd The major part of the address he de- livered to the audience as whole; but the latter part he addressed es- pecialy to the graduating class, who arose, as he turned to them, and re- ceived his words of wisdom and ad- monition in a truly pleasing manner. We hope that they will long remem- Der them and profit by them.
 After the presentation of the diplo- mas and medals, Miss Buford render. ed beautiful piano solo "Last Hope, 7 which was followed by the benedic- tion.
