BLUE RIDGE GRADED SCHOOL.
commencement Exercises Largely At
observation-disclosures.

Walhalla, r. F. D. No. /, April H..
Special: Blue Ridge school closed
April 11th. This session just over
has been one Of phenomenal success.
and much regret has been expressed
over the fact that the term could not
be extended to nine months.
Monday night the school building
was crowded for the first night exer-
cises. Guy Mearcs, senior classmau
OF the University OF South Carolina,
and brother of Principal r. L.
Meares, addressed one of the most at
tentive Of audiences, using for his
theme "nhe Destiny Of America. His
pleasant manner and admirable way
in which he handled this timely sub
ject won much praise from his hear
erS.
Following Mr.. Meares' address
were recitations, dialogues and short
plays OF the brightest and most hum
orous nature, interspersed with mu-
steal numbers by the pupils Of Miss
Clyde Smiths music class. The pro-
gram was one Of the very best Blue
Ridge has ever given, and the crowd
was openly disappointed that 1t was
so short.
On Tuesday morning at ii o'clock
Dr.. j. l.. Stokes. of Warhalla, talked
to the members of the graduating
class. A large number OF visitors
were present on this interesting Oc-
casion. and they were richly repaid
for the efforts they made to attend on
this occasion. DR.. Stokes is well
known to be the best OF thinkers and
speakers.
tuesday evening" when the final
graduation exercises were held, the
house could not accommodate the
large crowd that was eager to wit
ness this closing feature OF the school
term. Following are the names Of
the graduates, with their places on
the evenings program: Jesse Adds,
salutatory; Clara Lee Ballenger, es-
say; Esta Arve, class history; Min
ME Vaughn, essay; Blake Gambrell,
class oration; Jessie Barker, class
will; Minnie Lee, class poem; Ollie
Abbott, class prophecy; Ora Arve,
valedictory. All the numbers on this
program were "the best" The class
of '1G is the largest ever graduated
from Blue Ridge, and the entire COM
munity Is pardonably proud of these
bright young women and young men
jn whose school progress they have
been So interested. If the wishes o.
their many friends are fulfilled the
members Of this class will realize a
measure Of success that far exceeds
their highest hopes.
On the evening of Wednesday, the
18th, Principal r. l.. Meares enter
tanned the pupils OF his room at the
residence Of Mrs. NJ. j. Keil. This
occasion proved to be the most enjoy
able social event Of the school year.
The patrons Of Blue Ridge school
wish to thank the teachers for their
untirints work for the school in pre-.
pairing for Field Day. The enviahle
place won by Blue Ridge was due
solely to the unwearied, well-directed
efforts of these most excellent young
teachers, who In their zeal for the
success of orr school, were absolute
ly regardless of their personal con,-
forts and rights. Too much cannot
be said in their praise, and the nest
friends o. our school could not wish
lis any better thing than to have
these same noble. energetic, lovable
teachers for our next term
