OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

Bloomingvale, March 2S:- Our
school came within a hairs breadth
of getting a fine lecture this month.
Profs W D Magginnis of Rock Hill
and ] W Swittenberg of Kingstree
came down Saturday night. March a,
accompanied by Mr. P S Courtney
and Misses Heape and James of
Kingstree. Prof Swittenberg made
a very interesting opening talk. in
which he introduced the speaker,
Prof Magginnis. That gentleman.
however, had only made the prelimi-
nary remarks to what everyone pres
ent felt was going to be splendid
address when the home of one of the
patrons, Mr. Thos Barrineau, was dis
covered in flames. The house was
only a few steps from the school
building, and of course the lecture
had to be abandoned and lecturer
and audience went to the rescue to
try to save what they could from the
burning building. Everyone present.
however, was very much interested
in MIR Maginnis' few remarks and
disappointed when he could not fin
ish his address. We hope to be able
to have him visit us again.
We observed health night at
the school house Monday. March l3.
The programme was interesting and
beneficial and was we'll attended by
the patrons and pupils.
We are now preparing for our
commencement exercises. which will
take place in about two weeks. The
date will be announced in the COL
umns of The Record later, and we
hope to have large number of our
friends present.
