 mencement

last Friday. Each and every de- partment did excellent work as was shown by the exercises at the High School auditorium dur. ing the past week.
 The teachers deserve much credit for the manner in which they did their work ana the good results derived from it, and are receiving many compliments from the patrons of the school fer the energies put forth.
 The following report is from a representative of the Independ- ent, of the eighth grade and the commencement exercises:
 On Wednesday evening May 9th, 1917. the Senior class of Carlisle High School, bid good bye to their school days of the past and started in life, anew, with fresh hopes, a high school diploma, and fond expectations from their friends.
 Miss Crawford's part of the program for the evening was rendered with grace and ease, enough so, as to cause some ard | dent admlrer to present her with a beautiful boeuet, she was not the only one to receive flow CTS though, as others of the class shared in, receiving flowers.
 The only boy of the class was, as you well know, Jennings Stau- OCT who finished school as a member of the Honor roll, rank ing one of the highest in class.
 Miss Savage prophesied great things of her class, and may more than her prophecy come true.
 Miss Wilson gave an excellent delivery of her part of the pro- gram.
 Miss Proctor creditably prov ed herself an able representative of her class and Miss Shell, in sweet tones, told of the happiness of her class, in the selection she sang.
 pr, Reynolds. President of Hendrix College. delivered the address of the evening.
 In clear and concise words he delivered message to the class of 1917. It sank deep into the hearts of his audience, which shall be felt far in the future.
 He tried to instill in the minds of the class the importance that they owe to the world the duty to theirselves, the result of ed ucation and their chance for a brilliant future.
 His desire for this class was expressed in such a way that they will be unable to prevent at least part of it's fulfillment.
 How could young people fail to heed such noble plea for their future, for out of life comes only what you make it.
 After pr. Reynolds address Prof Hightiill gave a few statis, tics of his class and gave part ing message to his graduates.
 May time only, tell the story, that faithful and diligent work overcoming obstacles of life and discouragements which this class of 1917 have had to consid CT. and only prove of each and every one of them being in the foremost ranks of American Git iZenship.
 May they go on with the same dogged persistence they have learned so we'll in school and go on through life setting an exam pie for the ones who are now in their younger years and who will later take their places in life.
 Never was graduating class like the class of 1917 and never will Carlisle know the efforts that they put forth to be the class of 1917.
 School work for the eighth grade has ended and for remem- brance of their labor a diploma was given to those who passed out of the realm of ignorance and onto the first step of the ladder that leads them upward through life. on Morday evening the 7th of May.
 Prof Knight was proud of his class and glad to be able to pre- sent Hon. D. l.. Savage to the public as the honored to speak to and in behalf of the class. His address on the responsi bilities of American citizens was a tittinU and apppiSn S,1l1iaf.t
