Last Monday morning the school was
entertained at chapel by Rev. J. P.

loved pastor Of the Ringgold Baptist

terestlng and helpful. Rev. Durham

for the benefit Of tn school sometime in
the not distant future.
Last Tuesday morning chapel period
was devoted to program under the
able direction of Miss Joe Thomas, by
her pupils, which proved to be full of
inspiration and encouragement for the
entire school. 1t consisted of class
prophecy, piano solo, jokes, imper-
sonatlons, and paper by the class edi-
tor. We are always anxious for Miss
Joe's pupils to entertain, as we are al
ways sure of something exceptionally
interesting.
Another program which ranked with
the best given this year during chapel
was given Thursday morning under the
able direction of Miss Leslie Brewton.
Among the numbers was Welcome Ad-
aress" by G. S. Study, Jr., "The Shave
Store" by Phillip Cook, IF you knew
how funny you look by a Telephone
by Rosa Lee Whitten, and a very in
teresting piece by little Hester TONNE.
Following these recitatiOns by pupils
Miss Brewton sang in her inimitable
the songs, "A Rose in Bud"
and II Used to Love You But It's All
Over Now The entire program was
marked success and greatly enjoyed
Dy all present.
