The county record. [volume] (Kingstree, S.C.) 1885-1975, 1914-05-28

school closed its 1914 session with
appropriate exercises at the school
auditorium Monday night before a
capacity audience.
So far as actual class work was
concerned, faculty and pupils laid
aside textbooks Friday morning,
when the final examinations were
brought to a finish, and Immediately
launched into the exercises that
were to mark the closing of another
successful session.
An interesting and instructive
programme had been arranged and
each teacher and pupil who had been
selected to contribute to the enter
tainment of the public was ready
for the work and seemed to 90 into
it with a whole-heartedness that
must commend every one of them
most heartily to the large audiences
that attended their finals. Appar-
emily there was not a hitch in the
programme of exercises from start
to finish, and to say that every re-
cital song or piano selection was not
heartily enjoyed and appreciated
would be to call down upon ourselves
the just and severest criticism of
all who took part or attended and
listened with such profound interest
that at the close it elected an ex-
preston of appreciative thanks from
the superintendent. Prof Switten-
berg. We believe that the patrons
of the school. the board of trustees
and the community at large have
just experienced another occasion in
the history of their school wherein
they have the right to feel keener
sense of interest and pride than ever
before. And, judging from the great
throng that filled the auditorium
Monday night and witnessed the
graduation of eight charming young
ladies and two splendid young men.
we fully believe they do, and that
this interest will be answering.
WEE NEE LITERARY SOCIETY.
There can be no more useful or
beneficial factor in a school than its
literary society. The Wee Nee Lit
erary society of the Kingstree High
school was organized during the fall
term in 1906 and ever since has
largely contributed to the high moral
and intellectual status of the school.
The officers of the society during the
session just closed were: Miss Rubie
Thorn, president; Mcbride McFad-
den, vice president; Miss Leora Gam
BILE, treasurer; Miss Fannie Vause,
secretary; Miss Emma Brockinton,
literary editor; Hayward Brockin-
ton, critic. Throughout the session
the society has been in fourishing
condition, as is we'll evidenced by the
excellent papers read and the able
arguments in debate at its eighth
annual public meeting last Friday
evening. 1t has provided the men,
bers with wider scope of useful in
formation and given them a valua-
BILE insight into many important
problems as they arose from time to
time during the past nine months.
The following is the programme of
the exercises as carried out at the
society's public meeting in the school
auditorium Friday night:

The music, the papers read and the
debate were all we'll rendered. There
was some difficulty experienced by
the judges in reaching decision as
to whether the honor belonged to
the affirmative or the negative side,
and perhaps, only for the almost fix
ed conviction of one of the judges
