M'ountville School Closes.

Mountyille, June 1.-THE commence
ment exercises of the Mountville schol
was begun last Thursday night in the
new school auditorium. A large crowd
| witnessed the exercises which con-
| sisted of few recitations by the pri-
mary grades, "rhe Babes in the
Woods by the primary grades, a drill
containing sixteen Of the largest girls
In the school. and play, "The Best
Man" by students from the high school
department. There were several
beautiful piano duets which were play
Jayne Boyd Hudgens. The others that
added to the attractivcncss of the ev-
cning by furnishing music were Miss
cs Ida May Crisp and Vashti Fuller.
The crowd assembled again on Fri
| day morning at ten o'clock, and was
entertained for about an hour by six
girls from the Wilson literary society.
This society offered two mcdals-one
for the best essay and one for the best
defamation. The following was the
program Of the contests that decided
the medal winners:
Essays: THE South o. Today" by
Ethel Smith; Union" by Josephine
Thornton; "philanthropy" by Dolly
Fuller.
Dcclamations The Roman Scnti-
nell by Marguerite Fuller; "Old Ace"
by Zclanc Sullivan; "a Soldiers De-
tense" by Marie league.
Immediately after this contest, the
Rev. Frank p. Jones, pastor Of the first
Presbyterian church of Clinton, de-
livcrcd an excellent address on the
subject of High Mindcdncss". He
was optimistic in his views concern
ing the present day conditions, and he
held up High Mindedness as being the
Iall-important essential to success. Fol
lowing Mr.. Jones' address the differ
cnt medals were very attractively de-
livercd by DR.. George Dclano. There
were several prizes offered to the pu-
pills of the grammar grades, and sew
cral medals offered to the high school
pupils. Inc meual gwen 1Or the nigh
est average in the eighth grades was
won by Marie league, who also won
the defamation medal and prize for
perfect attendance. The essay medal
was won by Ethel Smith. While there
were only two in the graduating class
to receive diplomas, Misses Dolly Full
Ter and Fay Nelson. there were seven
teen to receive perfect attendance but
tons, and nineteen to receive library
certificates. Edna Warlick deserves
special mention, as she has not miss
CD day from school for five years
and q half.
| The crowd went from the school
house to the park and enjoyed a de-
licious picnic dinner. In the afternoon
the people were entertained by a very
interesting game Of ball between
Mountville and Waterloo, and as a
Mountville boy would say, Waterloo
beat u.s."
