WOOD ELEMEJiTAB* SCHOOL
CLOSES SUCCESSFUL TERM
Commencement Exercises Prove Suc
cess ? Leouu Ruynor and Mabel Gup.
ton Win Medals ? All oi Seventh
tirade Receive Diplomas.
The exercises on the c-cning of May
2nd, marked the laBt night of tho com
mencement of the Wood elementary
school and proved to tho committee,
patronB, friends and* visitors of the
school the wonderful progress made
by the pupils under the capable lead,
erehlp of the faculty. A large audience
witnessed tho program rendered on
both Thursday and Friday evenings,
the geeral opinion that the exercises
were the best given In man-' r. year.
To the cooperation and untiring ef
forts on the part of the faculty and
pupils is due the credit for tho suc
cess. Among the features for each
selection was a feature may be mett.->
tloned the fact that overy pupil bad
a part in the exercises and the ease
and grace with which they performed
showed without doubt that they had
received excellent training, such as
only a capable faculty Is accusomed to
give.
On Thursday evening the flvo Jud
ges awarded first place to Leona Ray.
nor, second place to Elizabeth Fuller
and third place to Mable Gupton In the
recitation contest lor medal offered
by the principal. The contest was
extermely close and without doubt all
the recitations were good.
When we review the program for
each evening It is'extremely difficult
to select any particular exercise for
featuring, but tho music department
showed that they were all instructed,
.the seventh grade pupils gave excellent
exercises, the recitations were all that
could be asked.
On Friday evening the same con
dition existed but amog those often
spoken of as outstanding features
were Merry, Maidens Club, Little Help
ers, In Grandmas Days, Clown Drill
and "Dolly You Must Go to Bed."
Friday evening Mabel Gupton was
awarded the Scholarship Medal offer
ed by Mrs. W. D. Fuller.
The seventh grade composed of the
following received diplomas :
K nnith Ayscue, Elizabeth Fuller,
Hattle Bell Gupton, Dell Pearce, Ola
Pearce, Jodie Radford, Herbert Stur
gees.
It is very fitting that the commence,
ment exercises should bring to a close
with a suitable climax the successful
school term which marked the efforts
of the faculty beginning with the
award of the prize of $15.00 for the
best school parade at the county fair
in the fall and the winning of the
prize of $10.00" offered by the county
superintendent and awarded by dis
interested Judges for the best kept
school building and grounds in the
county, and the awarding of diplomas
to each member of the seventh grade
This school term has been one of
shuccess from the beginning to the
close, and all the more so in view of
the fact that the faculty with the ex
ception of one came to the school
for the first time. It is to bo credit
ed to the foresight of the efficient
County Superintendent that he made
such wise selections as these, Ab was
extended during the doing exercises
and afterwards by the school commit
tee to the faculty it 1b sincerely hoped
that they will consent to return and
take up the work where they left off
and as has been spoken, by quite a
number of the citizens, which will be
hard to be carried on by othero.
It should be mentioned that part
of the exercises taken by the music
pupils Bhowed grand Instruction. This
being the first session In wheh music
has been taught speaks well for both
teacher and pupils.

Loulsburg Quartette composed of
Mesdames A. W. Mohn, W. E. White,
Harry H. Johnson and William D.

rendition of which brought forth the
greatest applause. >
Edward L. Best w and to his
questions all who think that North
Carolina music is the best in the world,
all who think North Carolina flowers
are the prettiest in the world, and all
who think that North Carolina women
are the sweetest in the world say yes,
got a most enthusiastic yell at the
conclusion of each. After which he
presented beautiful flowers to each of
the ladles, Including Miss Hall, the
accompanist, in the quartette. The
quartette then sang sweetly "Lay me
Down and Die."
Harry Adam6, Governor of the Car
olinas District Kiwanls, made a most
Inspiring address. In the best of good
fellowship he welcomed Loulsburg
Kiwanls into the Kiwar.la Internation
al. He said Kiwanls did not ask a
man for his check, but to make a sac.
riflce ? it demands service. He spoke
beautifully of the work now being
done by Klwanlans among children,
the under privileged children, through
the orthopaedic work. "The true pur
pose of KlwanlB," said the speaker,
"is to render the good of the whole to
each." It helps to get a higher vis.:
ion. To Illustrate his point he told of;
the bar of iron In the hands of differvl
ent artisans with different conceptions!
of value, when one would make his
ltno horse shoes at $2.00 per pound on
through to one that would make his
into hair springs at one million dol
lars a pound. '"Your success depends
much upon your decision," he said.
Kiwanls builds better men, and better
communities.
Felix Harvey, of Klnston, Lieuten
ant Governor of this District made the
presentation speech. It was a gem
In that it not only told what Kiwanls
is, but of many things that Kiwanis
can and should do for all communl.
ties. He told how Kiwanls got its
strength by building up love between
men. And to illustrate the great need
of united work he pointed out a prob
lem needing Immediate attention and
help, showing that the value of the
two chief cropB of North Carolina was
$260,000,000 and that $220,000,000 of
this was sent out of the State for sup.
plies. He brought greetings from
1200 clubB representing 87,000 mem
bers.
Will H. Yarborough made the speech
of acceptance for the Loulsburg Ki
wanls Club, and did well the part as
signed to him. He Impressed beau,
ttfully, the fact that the Charter Im
poses upon us new obligations and
new responsibilities. "We must build
better communities for those who
cross the streams we fall to bridge and
stoop to move the stones we have fail
ed to clear away."
Much regret was expressed that It
was necessary for Sen. C. C. Dill, to
leave for Washington City In the af
ternoon, thereby making It Impossible
for him to be present and address this
meeting.
The guests of honor were Harry
Adams, of Raleigh, Governor Caroll
nas District; Felix Harvey, of Kln
ston, Lieutenant Governor Carollnas
District; Joe Bowles, Columbia. S. C.,
Field Representative.
Thus one of the most enjoyable of
the Kiwanls occasions passed Into
history, leaving a most pleasant mem.

First because it meets the modem necessity for

Structures built with Atlas protect both the worker
