The commencement exercises of
the Waterproof High School were
held in the school auditorium on
Wednesday evening, when certificates
of graduation were presented, to
Misses Adele Hunter, Re1a Masseny,
and Emily Miller, and Messrs. Crosby
Durham. Charles Ehlert, John Greaves
and Willie White, Jr. This was the
largest graduation class any school
in this parish has had in years, and
this year eclipsing st. Joseph and
Newellton combined, and Waterproof
is to be congratulated on this mag
nificient showing. Each of the seven
graduates read most interesting
papers, each We might say being bet
ter than the other, and all deserving
greatest praise. We hope we will not
be deemed guilty of showing par

is due Miss Adele Hunter, the val
edictorian. This little lady, decidedly
the youngest of the class, enjoys the
unbroken and certainly enviable
record of having led her class con-
tinuously from the first grade to the
graduation year, inclusive. Few
children can boast this achievement
and it is record to be proud o..
