-S1AVVAnl
Last Friday the Lincoln County

mer vacation after having completed
the most successful years work in
the history of the school.
Commencement exercises we're held !.

evening Superintendent Jno. f. Bray |
and State High School Inspector |
y. r. Young, were present. The
state superintendent came especially |
to give the address to the graduates
and DR.. Young came to inspect the
school The patrons generally listened
with great interest in the addresses
given by these able educators They
were also delighted with the pro-
gram as rendered by the graduating
class and to the excellent musical
numbers given by the Girls Glee
club, under the direction of Mrs.
! Gertrude p. Smith, and the orchestra
under the direction of Mr.. Karl
Banks ..-
The graduating class3 was one of
the largest ever graduated from the
high school, They ranked very high
in character and scholarship. When
the faculty chose Georgia Englisl. TO
be valedictorian of the class, because
of her high standard of work, il
was found that five other members
were within two to five per cent of
her record. In fact, all the class but
two averaged in their work from
IS to SO. These young people will
be successful where ere they go for
they have proved themselves in their
excellent records.
