French II Class Gives
Chapel Program
In order to give the students of
Orange County Training School an
ideal of how colorful and rythmical
the French language is, French II
class presented a program recently in
the school auditorium.
The program was presented as a
class in French with Elizabeth Reges-
(er actitig as teacher, and the members
of the class as her pupils. She quizzed
the class in the thingsS of daily life,
the weather, their daily habits, and
the seasons.
After the quiz, the lesson was of a
socialized nature. Virginia F/dwards
recited "The Rat de Ville et le Rat
de Champ,’’ and Horace Brewer, "Le
Diable et le Paysan.’’ The class sang
additional French songs such ns
"Frere Jacques,’’ "An Clair de la

R'-partment of Homo Economics at
North Carolina Coll(*go for Negroes,
f-nd fTHofli speaker, emphasized the
n(-od of learning how to make
old garments and to use left-over
foods, in view of the growing aoar-
eilv of some foods and the prohabililtv
of a scarcity of clothing in the post
war era when much of the goods of
America will be sent to the devastated
countres of Europe.
The Hillsboro High Rcliool Glee
Club furnished music of a very high
quality for the occasion.

thought into action, and action, into
character."
Now, we wisii to express our thanks
to our parents for their sacrifices, to
the faculty for their earnest work
with us, and to all who have had a
part in promoting our education. We
want all to know that the value of
their guidance during this, the form
ative period of our lives, can never be
truly estimated.
To our parents, to wlinm this day
means the crowning of years of tire
less efforts, we pledge our best en
deavors in proving to yon tliat your
efforts have not been in vain.
To you, CHassmates, commencement
means beginning. On first thought, it
seems strange that the day upon which
we lay down forever onr high school
privileges, and sever many of our
high school associations, should be
called commencement.
However, just as the end of one day
is the beginning of another, so the
end of our high school days marks thi
commencement of a new chapter in
our lives. To some of my classmates
this day means the commencement of
higher education, to some others, the
beginning of business or perhaps
home-making.
Perhaps not many of us will attain
to places of leadership in world
affairs. Ncverthless, the schools of
America give youths training in
critical thinking and in the evaluation
of facts. If we have initiative and
courage to apply this training to life
situations, we can be influential
citizens of our coutiminitics. We have
studied tlie facts. Tomorrow, wo must
be practical. Youths of America, wo
must art in tomoorow’a world.
