ued project. The May flower

community project.

mans Civic Club has been present
ing a gift of appreciation to the
valedictorian of each senior class
of Douglass High School. Owing to
the inclemency of the weather, the
presentation could not be made on
class night as scheduled, but that
made but little difference as the
community knows ere this, that
the Woman's Club is composed of
women of integrity and principle
who would not under any circum-
stance fail to make a presentation.
Therefore, it was a very great
pleasure to present to Alfred L.
Saunders, Jr., the gift for this
year as valedictorian of the class
of So.
Congratulations were also extend
ed to Miss Pauline Edwards, saIu-
tatorian and the entire class. The

pectations of the community.

gained respect for humanity, the
great and the less great. We have
learned to appreciate the family
more as social institution and to
conserve family ideals. We surely
need our families sympathy and
admiration. Also we have become
somewhat skilled in many of the
arts of homemaking. Through our
awakening by education we shall
safely preserve the high ideals Of
the American Democracy"
