place at the Woodmen Hall on the even
ing of Thursday, May %, 1912.
The spacious hall was filled with
large audience of refinement and cul-
ture long before the appointed hour of

the overture of the program, the ten
graduates, five young ladies and five
young gentlemen, marched in from the

stood aside in line and formed an aisle
through which the graduates passed and
assembled the stage over stairway that

tion and took the seats on the left side.
On the other side of the stage were
seated the county superintendent, mem
bers of the city board of school trustees,
the mayor, members of the board of

The Glass Of 1912 will go down in
history of the Bay Saint Louis High
School as one of the most notable for
success in study, aptability and in
telligence-a body of diligent workers
who have applied themselves to that de-
gree of a "consummation devoutly to
be wished for" Such class exempli-
fies much to be emulated by the coming
seniors, and this success is inspiring,
hopeful and prophetic of the future. If
education in its true meaning is the bull
wark of our civilization, liberties and
citizenship, then in this class we can
feel secure in the protection and securi-
ty of the future to that extent, at least,
within the province and sphere of this
number of boys and girls-men and wo-
men of the future.
