1.-THE Blue Grass High School closed
saturday evening, May 81. The
commencement exercises were strict
ly high class and classical. 1t was
said that these exercises were the
best ever held in the High School
auditorium. We believe it because
every night the auditorium was pack
ed to the last inch. This shows
that people appreciate the exercising
of their social instinct, which finds
comfort in the seeing of the beauti-
full.
Friday night presented one of the
prettiest scenes on the stage when
seven young ladies and gentlemen
formed their line to await the pre-
sentation of their diplomas. They
were promising young people and we
congratulate them for their attain
ments. In the future only, when
our citizenship is blended into high
er average so far as training is con-
cerned, will the people of Highland
county appreciate what a High
School graduate means to her as a
citizen.

Young ladies and gentlemen Of this
graduating class, I am nearing one
end of the road and you are at the
other. There are more grey hairs in
my head than any other. II you full
I'LL your duty the future will place

Never, before in our midst was bet
ter advice given to young people than
the general address Of Mr.. Calhoun.
He said, IT care not what vocation or
profession you may choose. But the
one you choose, be the very best in it.
If you intend to be blacksmith or a
carpenter be the best one. If you in
