CLASS OF ! GRADUATE
 FROM HIGH SCHOOL
Elaborate Program Marked Final commencement Exercises Friday
 Evening at Auditorium.

o" Il iIiSH ocHool ffludy evening was one of the most beautiful and inn pressive. It was the occasion of the graduation class of seven, four young men and three young ladies. One re- markable and pleasing fact was that the boys outnumbered the girls of the class. It is usually the other way about. The members of the class to graduate were: Willie Bishop. Eve lena Martin, Carol Davis, Horace Hun ter, Jack Davis, Smith Garrett, Mill ton Belk. The auditorium was crowd ed to it's capacity and overflowed into the halls. The school interest is far from dead in Ashdown. The class came up the long isle each led by little flower girl to the stage, decorat- ed with the class colors Rev. c. s. Wales led the invocation. The saluta- tory was read by Miss Evelena Martin. It was fine paper. Miss Willie Bish- op gave musical selection very beau- tifully on the piano. Miss Carol Davis gave a humorous reading very charm ingly. The class prophecy was read by Horace Hunter. It was different and good. Milton Beck, the orator of the class, sustained his reputation with an oration. Smith Garrett read the class will and entertained the au- dience with the numrous bequests of the class. Then came a very pretty number, chorous by a flock of pretty high school girls. Jack Davis read a very interesting history of the mem- bers of the class. Miss Willie Bishop the valedictorian of the class, read paper which amply justified her posi- tion as the honor student of the school
 Dr. J. D. HammOnds of Texarkana delivered the address to the class. He made a fine talk along the lines of education and emphasized the very great importance of Christianity in education. He marked out briefly the great clements and fundamentals of all success in life. No life could be a success whatever the vocation unless it was based on service as it's underly- ing principle.
 After this followed the presentation of the diplomas by Superintendent w. N Pittman. While this was going on flower girls were delivering veritable carloads of flowers at the feet of the class.
