PROF. S. S. HANDY MAKES
ADDRESS TO GRADUATES

The Pocomoke City High school
commencement proper, was held last
Thursday evening in the Empire
Theatre building, and, as usual the
crowd overflowed the house.
The opening chorus by the class,
entitled, "'Sing of the Sea-" was well
rendered and showed excellent train
ing.
After this Rev. J. w. Lacey offered
prayer. Then Miss Margaret Bowen
rad the "Old Home Prize Essay"
This essay was pronounced the best
from an English standpoint and won
the medal offered by John S. McMas-
ter, ESQ.,, of Jersey City.
Prof. S. S. Handy, of St. Johns

graduating class. Prof. Handy is one
Of Pocomoke City's products, he hav-
ing spent his younger days here, when
his father was principal of the High
school, and also pastor of the Baptist
church. His speech was much enjoyed.
Rev. j. R. Bicking awarded thsp
medals in very acceptable manner.
These medals were given to julius
Fisher and Ada Howard for the best
speeches at the Oratorical contest,
and to Miss Margaret Bowen for the
Old Home essay.
Miss Wilson awarded the health
certificates and this feature showed
much improvement along the line of
living, thereby producing a finer
physical product from the county stu

--Supt. A. C. Humphreys presented
the diplomas. These represent what

The Eastern Shore Base Ball
League started off with flying colol,s
Friday of last week-Pocomoke City,
Salisbury, Cambridge, and Dover
acting as hosts to the other four
clubs. Two of these home teams, Po-
comoke City and Salisbury, turning
in victories against Parksley and
Crisfeld, respectively; the other two
going down before the onslaughts of
the Laurel and Milford sluggers.
Good attendance prevailed at all
the towns, and the enthusiasm for the
game throughout the baby league
seems unbounded.
At this early date it is impossible
to draw line on the comparative
strength of the various aggregations.
Preseason dope has apparently gone
wrong in certain directions. The wise
ones belittled the strength Of the local
team because of the very limited pub
lieity given the efforts of the manage
ment to get the players who should
represent Pocomoke City for the sea-
sor Of 1923. They concluded that as
there was not much said, there was
not much good to be said. But when
the champions Of last year clashed
with the Salamanders in, the initial
contests of the season, two brilliant
victories were chalked up by the lat
ter-and then the wiseacres said

Grand Visitation OF
Eastern Star Officers

The members of the Eastern Star
Chapter of this city have received Of
fetal notice that the Grand officers of
TIE order Of Eastern Star Of Maryland
will make their annual visit here
Tuesday, June 5th.
The grand visitation is for the pur-
pose of witnessing the work Of the
various chapters in the State of Mary
land and already plans are being made
to entertain these distinguished visi-
tors. These Grand officers will be en-
tertained by the Chesapeake Chapter
in Crisfield Monday, June 4, and Hol-

burg team to Wicomico county, but
concluded there were some he didn't
want, and combed the country for bet
ter. Such formidable array of tai
ent was mustered that the cocky
White Clouds almost said, "It's all
over boys, you fellows run along and
fight it out for second place." And
they started out to show us, too,
downing the crabbers in two straight
games. Dover, however, got next to
them last Monday, and now they have
made up their mind that if they want
the pennant they will have to see the
other boys about it.
The crabbers, true to their name,
are going in every direction except
ahead-sidewise, backwards, slanten-
.|icular, or any other old way; they
have yet to see what the big end of
a score looks like after their name,
and they are wondering if there is
anything in name.
The two newcomers, Milford and
Dover, are unknown quantities as yet.
Milford threw scare into the rest
of the Shore camp, by importing the
entire team from Wilmington, Del,
the defunct member of the Atlantic
League.
President Thawley should take a
look into that rat hole and if he should
see anything looking like vermin, he
should drown it out. However, the

WELL KNOWN WOMAN
DIES IN HOSPITAL
Mrs. Levenia S. Taylor Succumbs
Following Operation.-Local
Pastors Conduct Funeral

Mrs. Levenia S. Taylor, aged a.
years, died at the Salisbury Hospital
Sunday morning at o'clock, May 27
after very serious operation. Hel
illness though painful one was borne
with Christian fortitude.
Her health had been failing for
several months but the end came with
distinct shock even to those who
were ever near ministering to her
needs.
She was almost a lifelong Chris
tian; devoted, home loving, and of
kindly disposition. The esteem with
which she was held found eloquent
testimony in the large number of
friends and neighbors who followed
her to her lat earthly resting place.
| All was done that could be done, to
save her, but God saw fit to call her
home.
She will be missed not only in her
home but by the entire community, as
she was always ready to lend will
ling hand and loved by all who knew
her.
Funeral services were held at Bea-
yer Dam Presbyterian Church, con-
Quoted by Rev. ]. w. Lacey, assisted
by Rev. E. L. Bunce of this city and
laid to rest in the family lot at Nelson
cemetery.
The beautiful floral tributes that
covered the grave are fragrant wit
nesses to her friends knowledge of
her passionate fondness for flowers.
She is survived by her husband,
Fletcher Taylor; her mother, Mrs.
Virginia Taylor; and her niece, Mrs.
Lottie Taylor Howard, whom she rails
ed from babyhood; one brother, Jos.
C. Taylor, of Beaver Dam; a sister,
Mrs. Charles Hall, of Washington, D.
c.; and number of neices and neph-
ews to mourn her loss.
The pail bearers were: Frank Rus
sell, of Parksley, Va; Joseph B.
Lanlford, Thompson Pusey, John JUS
tice, Calvin B. Tull and Edward Spar
row.
The heartfelt sympathy of those
who loved her mourn with those that
are left grief stricken and saddened
by the death angel.

CENTRAL CLOSING
EXERCISES A SUCCESS
Splendid Attendance AT Each OF
Three Towns.-l72 Pupils
Receive Certificates

The firse Central Closing exercises
for elementary grade pupils of Wor-
cester county held at Berlin, POGO
moke City, and Snow Hill last week
were a success if we may judge from
the splendid attendance at each place
as well as the words of congratula-
tion heard on all sides for the youth
full graduates who contributed to the
programs. One hundred and seventy.
two pupils received certificates which
entitle teh holders to enter any High
school in the State without further
examination. Of this numberaonly six
were absent from the closing exercises
to which they had been assigned. As
the High schools will graduate one
hundred and two students this week
the enrolment in these schools in Sep
tember will be greatly in excess OF
the present enrolment.
The Board of Education and Super
intendnt greatly appreciate the fact
that the State Department of Educa.
tion sent to Worcester county three OF
it's members to assist in these exer.
cises. Prof. Thomas L. Gibson, State
Supervisor of Music, directed the sing
ing at each place, Walter huntington
Of the State Department delivered the
address at Berlin and William J. Hol.
loway, Assistant State Superintend.
ent of Schools, delivered the address
at Pocomoke City and Snow Hill.
The County Board of Education also
greatly appreciate the cooperation OF
the pupils, teachers, and patrons who
assisted in making these exercises 9
success. Every other county of Mary
land, with one exception, has held
similar exercises and the teachers anc
other persons who assisted in the
preparation and presentation of the
programs were very much gratifieo
to hear from the visiting gentlemen
that they compared quite favorably
with any yet given in the State.

SENIORS AND FACULTY
ENTERTAINED BY JUNIORS
Banquet And Dance Features OF
Tuesday Evenings Festivities
In Municipal Building

On Tuesday evening, May Goth the
Municipal Hall presented most
charming picture, when the Junior
class of P. H. S. entertained the
Seniors and faculty at a BEAUTIFULLY
appointed banquet.
The windows and orchestra trellis
were banked with. laurel, the Senior
class flower, and pennants Of the class
of '23 were seen on the walls. The
tables, which were grouped about a
central toast table, were decorated
in blue and gold, the Junior class col
ors, and big bowls Of roses were on
each of them.
The menu had been arranged by a
committee from the Junior class with
the assistance of Mrs. J. Paul Young,
who served dinner with the follow
ing menu:
Fruit cocktail, potato nests, roast
turkey, asparagus tips on toast, hot
rolls, butter, pickles iced tomatoes,
jelly, pineapple and cheese salad,
crackers, strawberry shortcake with
whipped cream.
She party showed enthusiastic
scnool spirit, singing between courses
their own school songs and popular
and folk songs.
Wilson Barnes in the capacity Of
toast master entertained the company
with his amusing remarks on "How
to Behave at a Banquet" after which
members of both classes responded tt
toasts.

After the speaking, the floor wa
cleared Of the banquet tables, an.
dancing was the feature until abou
11.3O. The Kelley Orchestra of Sails
bury furnished lively music thruou
the dinner, and for the dancing.
The success Of this affair, the frs
of it's kind to be given as farewell
party to the Seniors in p. H. S., will
probably establish precedent for fu
ture classes.
