CLOSING EXERCISES LITTLE
MOUNTAIN HIGH SCHOOL

Little Mountain, Way oil He
graduating exercises last Monday
evening closed one of the most sue
cessful sessions in the history Of the
Little Mountain high school. The ex-
erciscs which have been held during
the entire commencement could
scarcely be surpassed.
On Friday evening the recital was
held, together with the exercises by
.he primary and grammar grades,
cons,.sting of an operetta, Cinderella.
The rainbow color scheme used for
the ball room scenes was very etfec-
tive. One of the prettiest features
Of the play was the Cinderella
march by twenty primary children.
! The girls and boys were dressed in
yellow, white and green, typifying
the daisy. Each couple carried a
long rope strung with daisies, the
whole forming one continuous chain
Of daisies. Another pretty feature
was the m;nuet by Mildred Long,
Vernon Epting, Annie Belle Cuma-
lander and Elmer Epting, repre-
senting the prince, the queen, and the
courtier. When near tie closing
scene the rose fairies entered dressed
in pink and green and each carrying
pink roses. 1t left the audience with
the feeling that they had gi;mpsed
fairyland.
On Sunday morning DR.. J. D. Kin
ard of Johnston preached the bacca-
laureate sermon. The subject Of his
them ewas ':Servicc,' and was very
ably handled.
On Monday night ten girls and
four boys received their diplomas.
The stage was very tastefully and
prettily decorated. Along the front
of the stage was a narrow trellis en-
twined with sweetpea vines and
flowers. The class w seated in a
semicircle around tn stage, and ov-
or their heads arranged in semi
circle were hung baskets Of sweet
peas and lace ferns. Above the
door was hungn a beautiful banner
of the class colors, purple and gold.
The address to the graduating
class was delivered by Senator Alan
Johnstone of Newberry. AS if by de-
sign, the subject of Mr.. Johnstone's
theme was the same as DR.. Kinard's
on Sunday-"Service." The force
full words of advice and truth spoken
by Mr.. Johnstone will long be remem-
bered and cherished by the members
Of the graduating class and others
present.
