SCHOOL ACTIVITIES
Graduating Exercises of Various
Units in the County Held
During Last Week.

The Oakland Supervisory Unit is
. unusually happy this spring in the
large graduating class receiving GER
tificates from the elementary schools
of this and nearby territory. With
1913 boys and girls prepared for high
schools one may naturally look for
a large freshman class in September
and may with pleasure anticipate the
continuance of preparation for good
citizenship.
The Central Closing Exercises held
in Mountain Lake Park in the amphi-
theatre were attended by over 1000
interested school patrons on last
Thursday night.
The program opened with a process
sional, "God of Our Fathers" sung by
the school children as they marched
to their seats in the center of the
theatre. The invocation was offered
by Rev. Aspinall, of Mountain Lake
Park.
A pageant, "Three Centuries of
American Democracy" was then pre-
sented by Oakland, Crellin, Mountain
Lake Park, Loeb Lynn, Hutton and
kempton, with the principals of the
different schools in charge. The cpl
sodes were interspersed with patri-
otto songs suited to the periods of his
tory being portrayed and the last act,
rendered by Kempton, was concluded
by spirited rendering Of the Star
Spangled Banner. Much credit is to
be given both teachers and pupils for
the excellent rendering of their parts
and for the production of the cos
tunes which added so much to the
pictorial view of history of the six
periods. Following the pageant also
Miss Stewart announced from the
platform that the work Of the COM
mittee had been most commendable
and that all should appreciate their
management Of the entire exercises.
The committee consisted of the three
principals, Misses Mary Calls, Alma
Blandford and Marion ieary.
A short commencement address was
made by Mr. John Dunkle, principal
Of the State Normal School at Frost
burg, after which Mr. Loraditch,
president of the County Board of Ed
ucatlon, presented the certificates to
the large class of graduates as fol-
lows:
