rThe Appalachian draining
School closed its summer term on
Friday,' July iGth, with appro
priate commencement exercises.
On Thursday evening at 8 o'clock
the four graduates in piano gave
their recital which was of a very
high order, and revealed- talent
and efficiency in teacher aud pu
pil Friday at 11 o'clock the
annual address was delivered by
Dr. C. G. Vardell, president of
Floral MacDonald , College, Red
Springs, N, C. .His subject was
"America and the World Idea,
and he discussed it in a most able
manner, . bringing ,'6ut' the fact
that America's idea was one of
world federation and. peace. At
2 . o'clock in the afternoon the
Seniors gave; their graduating
exercises, which were very highly
enjoyed ' by the large audience
that filled to its utmost capacity
the large auditorium of the
school. The graduates were 17
in. number. ; At 8:30 the Alumni
gave their annual banquet, at
which quite a number of interest
ing speeches were made.
Thus closed the very best sum
mer term the school hasever had,
the nsrnber enrolled, being 301
and the work of the very highest
order.
The large girls' dormitory is
nearing completion, and it is safe
to say that it will be one of the
best equipped school buildings in
the State or anywhere. It will
have all modern improvements
including electric apparatus. The
powerhouse that is to furnish the
electricity is one of the most com
plete, and in some respects the
most complete, anywhere to be
found, the machine being so reg
ulated by a governor that only
a few moments of a man's time
are required each day, the flow
of .the water being regulated au
tomatically, and if anything goes
wrong it gives warning by
gong. ' , .
