Every number on the program show

acting. The diplomas were presented

He made a very inspiring and appro-
pirate address. Tuesday evening the
Juniors rendered their program, which
was the best ever presented by our
school. The decorations were class
colors and the flowers beautiful. The
exercises opened with q song, "Wel-
Gomez after which was the invoca-

to give the full program but will men,
ton a few numbers. The Rose Drill

defamation, ACKNOWLEDGMENT" was
very funny and received much APP
plause. Howard Stamps declama-

which the school joined in the chorus,
SWAY Down South in Dixie" made
our hearts thrill with patriotism. The

lola Howard. Claude Morris won first
prize for best display of school work.
His work, with that of others,all done
with the pen, is now on display at
the school. We have fine talent in
