LARGE CLASS GRADUATES
It 5?eems that the Colleg'e campus
a favorable location for the graduating
of 27 found it so. On Friday morn
ing at 9:45 A. M., ninety seniors
formed the letter "S," while the ju
niors formed the letter “J.” The class
exercise of senior classes. The group
song marked the beginning of the pro
gram. A few introductory words were
given by the president, Festus Welch.
The clasa poem, history, and prophecy
followed by Misses DeBruhl, Carter,
and Holland respectively. Little Jane
Lee^ the mascot, passed along the for
mation as each senior broke a leaf
from the wreath that hung around
hei neck. The Laurel Chain, as cus,
tomary, was presented to the Junior
Class by R. Paul Caudill; it was to
remain on the campus until every se
nior had taken leave of the College.
The singing of the Alma Mater by
CAeryone made a unique closing for
the exercise.
NONS MAKE ADDRESSES OF
ADIEU
At the final gathering of the Non
pareil Literary Society after a short
program, a type of meeting that
comes but once a year was held. It
was at that time that a number of
seniors said goodbye. Gage Morrow
asked the privilege of playing her
speech instead of attempting to say
it. With her usual grace she played,
"I’ll Be Loving You, Always.” The
intense devotion of the audience
showed that each member had the
spirit of the song, and there is no
doubt to their keeping it “Always.”
The Nonpareils among the Senior
Class' are Edna Jluckner, Mary A.
and Mary E. Carter, Rosalie Esitredge,
Bertie Leigh Holland, Annie Jones,
Sarah Lacy, Elizabeth Lewis, Gage
Morrow, Leila Nicoll, Bessie Snyder,
Velna Teague, Mozelle Wall, Vonnie
Whitaker, and Mamie Lee Wynne.
Duty calls thena away, and in like
manner it calls new ones to take
their places.

REPORT TO PRESIDENT
Continued from Page One
On the whole the standard of class
work has been good. Prom the rec
ords that have come in it has been a
year filled with successes. Many stu
dents have settled the question of
their life’s work and others have
steadied their positions. The College
is minutely organized but no teacher
loses sight of the individual. I be
lieve the idea of the individual touch
is ever growing with us as surely it
must. ’The spirit on the campus has
been almost ideal, with the exception
of a ruffle here and there to mar the*
beauty.
It is the aim of those who have to
do with discipline to remove the cause
for bad conduct and to so direct the
affairs of students that incentives to
right thinking and proper living will
become a part of all those who regis
ter with us. Perhaps this has been
as nearly true this year as ever in
the history of the College.
In the light of the records made in
other institutions, our record appears
to be very satisfactory since we nevej
fail to get several students who are
sent here for us to reform. A few
have come to us with a mania for
wrong doing. Some overcome and will
make their marks in the world.
During the past year there has been
too much breaking of the study
periods. The monitors in the young
men’s homes have not always k.ipt a
close check on the boys and I would
therefore recommend that the teach
ers in he dormitories, together with
Mrs. Stapleton, be charged with the
duty of checking the rooms as often
as necessary and that the said teach
ers in the dormitories, together with
such other duties as to make living
ill the dormitories the best possible
Further recommendation would be
to the effect that the laws controlling
the "motor bus companies” be investi
gated and if found desirable that any
company transporting our students be
placed under penalty of law or under
a bond which will be sufficient to
protect us from a few such occur
rences as have been reported during
the past year.

MANY CLIOS SAD AS
YEAR COMES TO AN END
The last meeting of the Clio Liter
ary Society witnessed the shedding of
many tears. It was at this meeting
that the Senior members were allowed
to make brief farewell talks. Perhaps
the most sentimental numbers were
the poem, “Good-bye, Good Luck, and
God Bless You,” by Irene Willis; the
Prophecy, by Miss Ruth Barrs; a trio.
“Farewell to Thee,” by Misses Pauline
Sitton, Nell Bowles, Euzelia Smart.
In all there were twenty-four mem
bers of the society who are not re
turning, among them were: Ruth
Barrs, Euzelia Smart, Hazel Smith,
Edwina Dalrymple, Mamie Lee, Paul
ine Sitton, Lois McCracken, Sallie
Warren, Bessie Tysinger, Alice Glaz-
ener. Nina DeBruhl, Blanche Clarke,
Bessie Sams, Myrtle Barnette, Bever
ly Anders, Agnes Edwards, Viva
Parker, Myrtle Blevins, Victoria Jer
vis, Lena Elmore, Ina Cockrell, Agnes
Harrel, Carie Lee Lambert, and Alma

The readings, declamation, original

tiainlng combined with admirable
talent The program was enjoyed ag-
well as appreciated.
The fine average of work done by
the students is due in no little degree
to the fact that some form of physi
cal training has been provided for al:
students unless excused by a doctor’s
certificate. The year has been one
with the least number of cases in the
Infirmary since Miss Kelley has been
employed as College nurse.

PHILOMATHIANS CLOSE
SUCCESSFUL YEAR
The Philomathian Literary Society
had its last regular meeting of the
1926-27 school year Friday night. May
20, 1927. The SPIRIT that charac
terizes Philomathian endeavor was
very much in evidence as we looked
back over the past year’s work with
all of its difficulties and mistakes, its
Joys and pleasures; and too, as we
looked forward with keen anticipation
and genuine delight to the coming
year laden with opportunities and
privileges. The year has truly been
a banner year for the society, per
haps the greatest in its history, but
the purpose of the society is to always
better its best. We are proud of our
record to be sure, but we are not will
ing to accept it as a goal already
reached. The newly elected officer.^
have closed the old year’s work and
are carefully piapning for the new
year, not for a spasmodic or spectacu
lar beginning, but for a conservative,
well-balanced program for the entire
year. We should look on the entire
year as a unit for which each member
is directly responsible; therefore, how
ever good is your past year’s record,
it is for YOU to better it during the
coming year and thereby- help YOUR
society accomplish its purpose.
