EVENTS AT PEARL HIGH
SCHOOL.

Upon the unanimous request of
the graduating class, presented to
the faculty of the high school in a
well-worded petition, an annual ser
mon will be preached to them in the
auditorium of the school on Sunday,
June 2, at II o'clock. In past years,
it was the custom to have an annual
sermon at one of the local churches
for the benefit Of the class. These
sermons became very popular and
were largely attended but for rea-
sons satisfactory to the principal
they were discontinued. Now that
we have a new high school building
containing a beautiful auditorium, it
is the wish Of the class of 1918 to
be the first class to have an annual
sermon in the new building. Rev.
NJ. E. Jackson, who is a graduate OF
the high school, who also holds the
degree of B, A. from Fisk University
and d. d. from the theological de-
partment at Wilberforce University,
Xenia, O., has consented to preach
the sermon. Special music is being
prepared for the occasion. The pub
lie is cordially invited.
The Alumni Banquet.
The effort of the president and the
Executive Committee of the Pearl
High School Alumni Association is
meeting with success in their ar
rangements to entertain the gradual
ing class with a banquet at the end
of the school year. Preparations
are being made to make it one of
the big events among the colored
people of Nashville. After consulta-
ton with the principal, it was decid-
ed to give the entertainment on
Thursday night, June 9th, the night
before the annual commencement eX-
ercises, rather than on the same
night of the exercises. This Will give
more time for the festivities. Several
prominent citizens will be asked to
make ten minute addresses.

Mabel McGavock.
Last Friday night the regular an
nual senior social was given at the
home of Miss Mabel Annetta Nc
Gavock. This event had been looked

pations by every member, especially
by the social stars of the class. By
vote it was decided that each men,
Der should have a right to invite
two friends. BY this means repre-
sentatives of Fisk University and Me-
harry Medical College were present
The home was beautifully decorated
with palms and ferns, while along
the walls hung Pearl High School
pennants and the national colors. A
three course menu was served, fol
lowed by ices. Dancing and different

The High School Voice.
The last number of the High
School Voice for this scholastic year
is just out, 1t is the opinion of The
student-body that this is the best edi-
ton in the entire history of the Voice.
The paper is illustrated with the cuts
of the apparatus in many Of the voca-
tional rooms. These cuts will give
the public an idea of the splendid
equipment furnished this school by
the Board of Education. Too much
credit cannot be given to George w.
Gore, Leslie Howell and their asso-
ciates for the creditable paper that
they have gotten out each month
since they assumed its responsibility
That the paper has made itself felt
and has been an active agent in
creating a good school spirit is the
opinion of all
