Rev. L. P. Johnson, pastor Of
Christ Temple Church brought a
beautiful inspirational and informa-
tional message to the group and we
think this class of las or more
young women should be especially
grateful to school that it not only
concerned with their mental we'll
being, but is also vitality interested
in their spiritual well-being. the Sc

full cooperation. Too, It would be
a fine thing if you will remember
that when you take a job, you are

and friends in welcoming home the
young Jacksonians who are return

out of the state. We wish for them
pleasant vacation.

ONE OF the incest affairs of the
Commencement season was the
Private Dance given for the Lanier
High Seniors, Wednesday evening

The patriotic colors were used both
in decoration and refreshments and
the soft lights and sweet music
made a very pleasing background
for the beautifully dressed young
ladies who were all very lovely in
evening gowns, the correctly attir-
ed young men and the special guests
in khaki. Throughout the evening
all the young folk gave themselves
up to having jolly good time and

Jacksonians turned out by the
thousands, Tuesday evening to wit
