GRADUATION EXERCISES

The graduation exercises of the
class of 1919, held at the Temple
theater last night, brought to a sue
cessful close the commencement ex-
ercises of this term. A good house
greeted the speakers, notwithstand-
ing the torrential downpour of rain
which unfortunately occurred shortly
before time for the exercises to be-
gin.
The stage of the theater was at
tractively decorated for the occasion
with potted ferns and cut flowers, car
rying out the class colors and above
at the front of the stage was the class
motto "La diligence yainc taut."
The graduates came on the stage
led by their bright little mascot, Bob
bic Cox, wearing his cap and gown,
as did the whole class, and carrying
lovely bouquets of sweet peas, the
class flower. Besides the graduates,
seated on the stage were speaker of
the evening, Prof. Trusler, dean of
the law department of the University
of Florida, Mr.. j. H. Brinson, Rev.
Smith Hardin, Rev. John Herndon
and the faculty of the high school.
The welcome address of the eve
ming was delivered by Leonard Wes-
son, president of the senior class,
who in behalf of the class greeted the
audience and welcomed them to their
exercises. Miss Sara Herndon, vale
dictorian of the class, delivered her
farewell in behalf of the graduating
class, to the teachers, school and
community at large, upon their en-
trance into a larger field of service.
Dean Trusler very wisely chose as
his subject, "The Quest of the Golden
Fleece by JASON" which in the pres
ent time is the seal of success as view
ed by the majority of mankind. He
very ably held the attention of his
audience for the better part of an
hour.
The literary program was inter
spersed with instrumental and vocal
music, which was greatly enjoyed.
The folk dances as presented in cos
tune during the evening were clever
ly interpreted and executed. The di-
plomas, tied with black and gold, the
colors of the high school, were pre-
sented by Rev. Smith Hardin, after a
brief Introductory and a few we'll
chosen words to the graduates, the
diplomas being the visible insignia of
their mental efforts during their
school years. The program was con-
cluded with the benediction by Rev.
Smith Hardin
To the class of 1919 we wish a
bon voyage on their journey into the
unknown future.

AMERICAN LEGION
TO BE ORGANIZED

With the state convention of the
American Legion little less than a
fortnight away, local returned army,
navy and marine corps men are for
mulating plans for local post, hav-
ing In view a representation at the
state convention. which will be held
in Jacksonville June 10 to IL.
According to the tables of organi-
Zation that were adopted at the ST.
Louis convention, held early this
month, it is necessary to organize
locally before delegates can be ap-
pointed to the state convention.
To organize a post, mass meet
ing of all returned soldiers and sail
ors must be called to elect officers
which are: Post commander, vice COM
mander, adjutant, finance officer and
sergeant-at-arms.
After the officers are elected it is
necessary to send in to Gen. A. II.
Blanding at Barlow, who was ap..
Louis convention, petition with at
least fifteen signatures and list of
the officers elected, requesting char
ter from the national organization of
the American Legion.
In the meantime, every soldier,
sailor and marine in town can be en-
rolled in the post and the organiza-
tion completed as far as possible
without a charter.
A particular feature of the legion
is that officers and men are taken in
on exactly the same footing. The
organization is non-partisan as was
shown by the attitude of the st. Louis
delegates when a newspaper passed
cut cards asking that the delegates
give an expression as to their politi-
cal views-whom they voted for at
the last election, whom they intended
voting for at the next election, ETC.
The action was branded as an at
tempt to affiliate politics with a
military organization"
All details as to post administra-
tion will be explained at the state
convention in jacksonville, where
every post is expected to send az
many delegates as it desires. Special
rates will be provided by the railroad
administration, it is planned, and citi-
zens of Jacksonville will entertain the
men so that the expense of attending
the convention will be small.
AS the time is short before the
convention, the organizing of local
posts at once is urged by the state
officials. Information as to details of
post organization can be obtained by
writing to General Albert H. Bland
ing, Barlow, Florida.
