Seventh Grade Closing
Exercises

Seventh Grade Closing
Exercises
These are busy closing days
] in both our High and Elemen-
tary schools, with final exam
nations for the pupils, the
marking of papers, making OUT
reports, etc., for every member
of the faculty.
In addition, preparation for
the various closing exercises
has required much time, SO
that every available minute
has been occupied.
Thursday evening the High
School exhibit was held in the
auditorium, and was attended
by an unusually large number
of friends and patrons of Our
school.
The exhibits of the various
departments were Of high or
der, showing excellent work
our students have done the past
school year.
The Home Economic Depart
ment presented a Fashion
Show, that in addition to being
of great interest, showed Dress
es made by the class in their
actual school work. This de-
partment served refreshments
at the conclusion of the eXhib-
| it.
On Sunday evening the grad
uating class attended services
at James M. E. Church, in this
town, when the pastor, Rev. A
B. Frye, delivered the bacca-
laureate sermon.
Tuesday evening the Class
Night exercises were presented
in the auditorium of the High
School building, and the pat
rons and friends of the school
filled every available seating
and standing space. Never
have we had such crowd at
any of our exercises.
Over five hundred chairs had
been crowded into the large
auditorium, and these were not
sufficient to provide seats for
all, standing room in the rear
of the room, at the wide double
doorways in the corridor, and
at all the windows, being at a
premium, and even then a
large number of people turned
away, as it was not possible for
them to hear or see the exer-
cises.
The Class Night exercises
were under the direction of
Miss Dorothy Bonner. This
was Miss Bonner's first exper-
fence in this type of work and
the results speak very we'll OF
her work. A one act play en-
titled Frank Glynn's Wife"
was very well received by the
audience.
