queen. Rebecca Harmon, who won
this distinction by having attained
the highest grade in her class. She
!. was a miniature queen to all ap-
pearances, from her golden sceptre
to her long shimmering train and
right, royal in her manner and ac-
tions. Her maid of honor, Ethel
Shealy, all smiling in gauzy chif-
fons, followed close in her wake.
The other girls of the seventh grade,
a live symphony in white organdy,
acted as maids. The sixth grade
! then surrounded the queen after she
was seated upon the throne with a
daisy chain. DR.. J. S. Wheeler,
chairman of the board of trustees,
was accorded the honor of placing
the crown upon the queens brow.
After this was done all the crea-
lures from dale and hill, overseas
and everywhere, joined in joyous,
ringing chorus Cali Hail Her. AS
the music died away, their May day
duties having been well done, the
merrymakers wended their way
home amid the handclappings of the
assembled crowd and the congratu-
lations of their friends.
Z After witnessing so well trained
and interesting spectacle it is quite
natural to inquire to whom the
honor is due for the finished result.
Too much. can not be said of Mrs.
Browne and Mrs. Quattlebaum, the
untiring members of the music fac
ulty. They toiled early and late,
and theirs is a crown of grateful
praise from pupils and parents.
On Sunday the baccalaureate ser
mon was delivered by DR.. H. A. Nc!
; CCuHough, pastor of st. Paul's, Co.
lumbia. His text was from Daniel
1913: I'sThou shalt stand in thy lot
at the end of the days." His sermon
was well thought out, well deliver
ed and well received.
His admonitions to the gradual
ing class were full of good advice,
advice that would enable them to
stand more worthily at the end Of
their days.
Grace church was full and over
flowing. DIR. Mccullough is One of
Prosperity's sons whom she delights
to honor whenever she has the privi-
lege Of hearing him.
