P. H. S. PREPARING
FOR COMMENCEMENT
Interesting Exercises Will Be Held
This Year And Many Graduates
Are On The List.

The final examinations at the Po-
comoke High School will begin on
Wednesday morning, May "a. The
exhibits of the Manual Training and
Domestic Science departments will be
held in their respective departments
on Thursday and Friday May rs and
26. Excellent work has been done
this year in both of these depart
ments and it is hoped that many of
the people of the town and commu-
nifty will come to see the exhibits.
On Sunday night May 28th the SER
mon to the graduates will be preach
ed by Rev. ]. w. Lacey. This service
will be held in the Salem M. E.
Church.
The Junior-Senior Reception will be
held on Monday evening May 20. The
Juniors are working hard in prepara-
ton for the occasion and from all in
dications it is going to be an evening
of real enjoyment.
Somewhat of an innovation has
been worked out this year by the
Senior class. Instead of having Class
Night the class decided to substitute
for it formal banquet. This baa-
quet is to be given by the class to all
memebers of the school who have won
the school letter in athletics. 1t will
include members from practically all
of the classes and will, therefore be
really school affair. 1t is believed
that such an evening will create more
enthusiasm in athletics.
The final and of course the most
important of all the exercises will be
Commencement Night on Wednesday
May 81. The Empire Theater has
been engaged for this occasion, and,
while it will therefore be necessary
to charge the public a small admis-
sion, the theater will be packed on
that night. Among those whom we
hope to have present on this occasion
are, Supt. E. w. McMaster, Super
vison E. Clarke Fontaine and a men,
Der of the Faculty of the University
of Maryland.
The list of those in the gradual
ing class is as follows:
Margaret Chesser, Josephine Cos
ton, Nellie Cottman, Valley Cowgers
Ada Gusts, Roxey GUSTS, Louise Glib
bons, Esther Mcdowell, Myrtle Mock,
Essie Pilchard, Emily Stevenson,
Sydney Tull. Elizabeth Venable, Olga
Wulff. Walter Atkinson, Maurice
Birmingham, James Ennis, John En-
mis-, William Evans, Charles Han
cock, John Lang, Alton Mason, Nal
colin Matthews, Duvall Sherwood.
William Veasey, Laurence Vessels,
Lister Norquest, Orville Mason.

Remember, boys, the full moon for
May 1922, occurred on Thursday of
last week, the 11th instant. Old and
experienced fishermen have always
stated that red drum begin to bite di-
rectly after the full moon in May, and
this being the case it behooves those
of us who enjoy this sport to be get
ting our tackle in readiness and bt
making our way to the beach in quest
of his drumship-one of the sportiest
of the fnny tribe.
For some years a number of ou1
young people used to take in this
sport and they found much pleasure
in it. In fact it grew to be one OF
the most popular sports with oul
people and sometimes it>Was hard tC
get accommodations to take care of al
who desired to go on the various
trips. And the trips were generally
successful ones. Rarely did the Grove
return without some game and Otter
they have landed and brought to this
city in one afternoons catch as many
as eighteen red drum, weighing from
35 to 49 pounds each.

STRAWBERRY SEASON
NOW ON IN EARNEST
This Will Probably Be Heaviest
Week OF Season. Berries Plen-
tiful; Prices Fair.

The strawberry season in this sec
lion is now on in earnest and the far.
mers, from one end of the shore to
the other, are busy in this crop. To be
sure there were some berries going
in on the market last week and some
of our farmers got off a good many
crates, but this is the week of all
weeks and is likely to be record
breaker for several years passed. The
weather has been favorable and they
have carried nicely. Of course the
prices have not been as high as our
people would like to have seen them,
but notwithstanding this fact they are
going right at it and intend to get
every cent out of the crop possible.
This is the first real money our farlh-
ers have had this year and they are
right after it with a will.
This reminds us that the straw
berry business is again taking hold
upon the Eastern Shore. For num-
ber of years there was drop off in
the planting of this crop so far as the
Shore was concerned, but it is now
coming to it's own again. This is true
not only of Maryland but of the Eas-
tern Shore of Virginia as well. The
Peninsula Enterprise in writing of the
strawberry crop in that county last
week, and especially of the operations
at Onley, said in part:
g.. shipment of Wednesday equ-
allied the best days shipment evel
made from Onley of 80 cars. The
shipments will continue heavy during
next week, (meaning this week now
but Mondays shipment from Onley is
expected to surpass any previous
shipment of past years. The rusf
will probably be over next week. Tn
shipments from other stations on the
railroad combined this week will bt
about half the shipment made at On
ley, with prices prevailing equal tx
those at Onley."
They also state that "The berr!
crop is much later this year than i
was last spring. The first carload
shipped last year was on April 28th
as against May the 18th this year
This season has differed from an!
previous ones in that the rush begai
at one time instead of the shipments
growing larger each day until tn
climax came"

REV. |. |. WILLIAMS
QUITS ST. MARY'S PARISH
After Twelve Years As Rector Here,
Popular Clergyman Moves To
Delmar, Del.

Rev. L. L. Williams, who for twelve
years had been rector Of st. Mary's
Parish, this city, severed his connec-
ton with that congregation on Sun
day last Some months ago Mr.. Will
Jams rendered his resignation to take
effect May 18th, and it was accepted
by the vestry. On Sunday last he
held his last service and his rectorship
was brought to an. end. He leaves
this city to accept the rectorship of
the church at Delmar, Del.
Mr.. Williams came to our town
twelve years ago and during that time
had been rector of st. Mary's Parish.
Few men have ever resided in our
town who were more highly respected
or more generally beloved. There
may have been bigger and greater
preachers in his church, but there
never was a better pastor or truer
type of Christian. He was firm
believer in the rites of his own
church but this did not deter him
from looking after and caring for
those who were sick or in trouble, no
matter to what church faith they be-
longed. If you were sick, it mattered
not whether you were an Episcopal
ian, Methodist, Baptist. Presbyterian.
or Catholic, the Rev. L. L. Williams
was sure to visit you daily and as far
as was in his power to minister to
your wants. He was generally known

atractively decorated with pottet
plants and cut flowers in season.
The bride was attired in a travelling
suit of midnight blue poiret twill with

TO OPEN CLARKE AVE.
TO LINDEN STREET
Popular ThOroughfare Will Be Ex-
tended Two Squares Opening
Up New Territory.

Since the great fire of the 18th Of
April there has been considerable
speculation as to just what would be
done in the way of improving the
street conditions in the burned dis
trict of our town. Everyone was a
greed that Market street should be
widened and it seemed that this was
decided by general consent. There
We're other matters of vital interest
to the town and in order that they
might be looked into thoroughly and
the proper conclusions reached, a
committee was appointed to act in
conjunction with the Mayor and
Council of the City, to the end that
the best interests of the town and
the property owners generally might
be conserved This committee has
gone into the work with much interest
and while their labors have not yet
been concluded, still it is known that
the committee and the town authori-
ties jointly favor and recommend the
extension of Clarke avenue from
Market street, through to Linden ave-
nue., a distance of two extra squares,
thus opening up some very valuable
sites in that section.
That this will be done there seems
to be no doubt at the present time.
The new plan will place the New
Big Store House of Mr.. M. L. Veasey
on the corner of Market street and
Clarke avenue, giving him excellent
position for his large department
store with an abundance Of space for
show windows on both the popular
streets. The same will be true of the
lot of Mr.. F. M. Wilson, the old site
of the Pocomoke City oostoffice. This
too will now be corner lot, with
frontage on both Market street and
Clarke avenue. The plan is not only i
great benefit to these two properties
but to all the other properties along
the new street, to say nothing of the
advantage it will be to the town in
general.
There are still other street i'm
provements that are anticipated but
they have not as yet come to light
There is some talk of opening Vine
street through to the river. This is
an improvement that should be made
but of course we are not on the Com
mission and it is not exactly up to US
to have much to say. There are some
things about which we may have
something to say, however, at late
date.

Damaged Buildings
To Be Repaired

The frame buildings at the foot of
Market street which were damaged by
the recent fire are soon to be re-
paired. In fact we understand that
the storehouse of D. Wiltbank, Jr.,
and that uilding occupied by John
T. Smulli Jr., will be fixed up at
once and ,at workmen will begin on
them the coming week. The fronts will
be finished with some composition
entirely new in Pocomoke City and it
is said will add much to the appear
ance of the buildings and the town as
well. Let the good work go on.
