bar High School Tuesday nigl t
was a signal su cess from eve y
view point and it clearly shove d
that Principal Masterson and his
corps OF teachers had striven hard
to give to the patrons and pupi's
of said school their best service
from the remarkable record made
and interest shown. General sat
isfaction seemed to prevail.
There was only one student,
Miss Anna Heron, to complete
the course this year but she was
credit to the school and an honor
to her race and parents, and is
destined 10 take her place among
the successful ones.
The singing and music under
the leadership of Mrs. .Mable
Burke, who had trained a class OF
young boys and girls for the oc-
casion were fitting especially at
the Commencement proper at the
Odd Fellows Hall.
The commencement address was
delivered by Prof. c. w. Merri-
weather, Atty. OF Hopkinsville,
Ky, which was rich in rhetoric
bsistled with common sense truths
which were driven home with
words that are destined to create
a new desire and a greater thirst
for knowledge, in fact the address
was par excellent and above the
average way OF thinking and pres
entatlon. He recounted step by
step the advancement and ache
ivenlents of the Race in the last
fifty years. as we'll as delving into
Ancient and MEDIEVAL history OF
of the worlds nations and Races.
He delivered lecture Wednes-
day night at First Baptist churnh
on the arrest and trial OF Jesus
which was without the finest we
ever listened to. 1t will pay any
community or church to have him
deliver this lecture.
After the lecture at the church
the choir of said church served
cream and cake at the residence OF
Prof. and Mrs. g. L. Masterson,
in honor OF Prof. Merriwcather and
a few invited guests.
Wednesday at 10 90 "a m. the
graduating class OF the Sth grade
of Dunbar school rendered a splen-
did program in Room 3 OF said
building There were nine me m
bers OF the class and every one OF
them was a credit TO the school
and reflected credit upon Mrs.
Irene Haynes, who is the assist
ant to the principal. The music
was fine, Mrs. Burke was at the
instrument. The certificates were
awarded to.tlle class by Professor
Masterson after a brief address.
AS 1 so p. m, the parents re-
turned to Room 1 to witness the
the program of the primary de-
partment and there was not stand
ing room and many stood on the
outside OF the building at windows
witness the closing of this room.
The little tots were just eager
to satisfy those who had come to
listen to them as were advanced
grades, and Miss Mae Roberts has
developed into fine primary
teacher.
AT ? 80 p. m. the visitors and
parents repaired to Room where
Miss Love Phillips, was found with
her pupils ready to give closing
program OF the very rare musical
and literary treat held in store for
those present. Miss Margie Tan
dy was the musical conductor for
rooms and and she was equal
TO the occasion.

Could This be True?

There seems to be an unofficial
rumor among railroad circles that the
Rock Island division headquarters,
now located at Dalhart, will he
moved TO Liberal in the near future.
This will include the superintendent,
chief dispatcher, master mechanic,
master carpenter, and a number of
other officials who will make Liberal
their headquarters If the move is
made, besides making Liberal pass
enger division point. Nothing def
nate or official regarding the move is
known among the local force, or if
there is they are keeping mighty
mum about it, but if there are any
grounds on which the contemplated
project could be verified the business
men OF Liberal ought to get busy and
hurry 1t along as much as possible.
1t would be tine thing for the town
in more ways than one, not the least
of which would be the addition TO
the monthly payroll of the company
at this point.
