THE ID. n. II. SCHOOL CLOSED.
vacation Time Spirit Held Sway for
tho Students and Teachers,

weeks just recently past were glad
| weeks at Tamassee--yet withal sad
ones for those who had spcnt seven
! months there. The vacation time
! spirit had long been ringing in the
| lives Of The students. This was partly
! due to practicing Of our commence
ment music, for some Of the pieces
were vacation songs. Yet time passed
| in a hurry despite the fact that exam
nations were on.
The first day Of the last week of
school at The d. AR. brought 10 us
several cases Of "nu." This, of
course, was not a welcome visitor.
This one is quite different from our
other visitors at Tamassce. Well one
might imagine gloom over our
school at the time, but still they are
mistaken. The sick ones would smile
and say, 81 think will be all right
by Thursday" while the others went
about the duties with a broad smile.
Tnun very often tho smiles would
Il.
On Wednesday We were all so dis
appointed to know that the board
ladies could not be with us for the
commencement. But as we still had
four sick ones they decided 1t best
not to come up from Walhalla. Now,
we must also say that we were not
the only ones disappointed, for the
ladies of the board were equally as
sorry.
With tho help Of two young men
Of the community, we decorated the
stage very beautifully. The mountain
laurel being in bloom, this served as
a very pretty decoration. using a
white background. The laurel was
banked at the edge along the entire
length Of the porch. The decorations
or the stage changed with the differ
cnt scenes. We used the porch for
cur stage and seated the people Just
IN front Of the building. The place
where they sat was marked off with
white and blue crepe paper. These
were brought from each corner post
just as far down in the campus as
we could go without getting into the
tees. We had three gates, one at
each end and one at the center. At
these gates stood the ushers-Lucian
Whitmire, Charlie Cowan, Clyde
Ccwan, Arthur Cowan and Floyd
NiX-who wore big bows OF white
and blue ribbon Oil their arms. These
young men furnished The people with
programs. The entire program was
a great success, which was proven to
The teachers at the close by the hand
shakes and congratulations they re-
ccivcd.
The time has now come when we
must go to our different homes-a
fact that brings both pleasure and
feeling OF sorrow, for has not each
teacher and pupil come to regard the
d. A. Il. School as her second home?
Every girl at the school applied for
place for next session. The New
York cottage will go up this summer,
we understand. This will allow us to
take in more girls, so any who desire
a place should write or see Mrs. II.
G. Jones, Walhalla, S. C.
We will long remember the We'd
nesday night song service and the
Sunday school we have had at the
D. A. r. School this past session and
hope for just such interest next year.
We wish to thank the community for
everything you have done for our
school. and wish for your success
and happiness during the vacation
months.
