can never repay.
The last landmark he named as re
\ ligion, telling the graduates that re
w ligion is one of the fundamentals of
this community and symbolic of im
mortality. He asked the seniors to
ponder of the eight landmarks, not
to destroy them and to keep them un
sullied.
Arpiano solo skillfully rendered by
Miss Jennie Ruth McAlily added to
the enjoyment of the exercises.
In presenting the diplomas John
Holmes deplored the fact that the
class, due to a shorter term, has re
ceived less schooling than any class
■ m 25 years, and that if conditions
maintain the incoming freshman
class will have received eight months
less training when they graduate.
He advised the graduates regarding
the dangerous adage “when in Rome
do as the Romans do,” but urged
them always to do the right thing
regardless of the consequences.

were:
Lillian Ruth Ainsley, Mildred Ger
trude Alexander, Elizabeth Frances

Miss Cates was also the recipient of
the scholarship medal. Vernon Spruill
was presented the athletic medal as

Mr. Holmes also paid tribute to
47 students, who despite one of the
most inclement sessions of school

sickness to be able to attend school
every day without being tardy. In
this connection he paused to compli
ment Dorothy Buffiap who completed

In bringing the program to a close i
Mr. Holmes thanked Mr. Meadows
for his splendid address and express
ed his appreciation for the support
and cooperation tendered the school
during the year. He also expressed
a hope that at the next commence
ment a hall would be available that
would more adequately accommodate
those who attend.
The exercises came to a close with
the senior class singing “The Bells
of St. Mary’s” and benediction by
Rev. George W. Blount.
On Monday evening when the Class
Day exercises were held the inade
quacy of the school auditorium was
again apparent when half hour be
fore the exercises began not a single
seat was available and crowds lined
along the walls of the room. By
the time the program started the
aisles were jammed and the en
trances to the auditorium were so
crowded that many were greatly in
convenienced and unable to enjoy the
program. According to various opin
ions it was the largest crowd ever
to attend any commencement exer
cise, it being estimated that possibly
enough were turned away from the
school to comfortably fill the audi
torium.
The graduating class appeared on
the stage in the form of a garden
party, the decorations and furniture
greatly aiding in the effectiveness of
the scene. Worth Spencer, president
of the Mass, welcomed the friends
present. Margaret Spires presented
the history of the class, followed by
Sarah Elizabeth White, the class
poet.
What furnished the most amusing
part of the program were the pro
phecies made by Margaret Satter
field, wh 3 was dressed as a Gypsy
palm reader. As she predicted tne
future of her classmates, little chil
dren appeared on the stage attrac
tively costumed in the roll their re
presentative was to take in future
years. These little tots added ma
terially to the pleasure of the pro
gram and caused round after round
of applause. Those who participated
were: Delorqne Phthisic, Thelma
Shaw, Jimmy Eamhradt, Syble Cay
ton, Fay Dail, West Byrum, Doris
Layton, Lucy V. Parker, Clarence
Leary, Lillian Byrum, Mary Mac-
Donald Holmes, Teddy Lupton, Nora
Lee White, Lillian Bass, Philip Mc-
Mullan, Betty Byrum, Josephine
Mills, Bobby Byrum, Judy Jones,
Jean Tanner, Sam Holmes Elliott,
Eunice Ann Britton, Peggy White,
Barbara Layton, Milton W. Flynn,
Rebecca Swanner, Patsey Taylor and
Joan Cobb.
Evelyn Brown as giftorian of the
class presented each member a pres
ent which in one way or another re
flected actions or characteristics dur
ing their school life and was reason
for much amusement.
Arelen Jackson read the last will
and testament of the senior calss,
while Edward Wozelka presented the
class superaltives.
Mary Elizabeth Cates, valedicto
jrian of the class, in her address
! commented on the achievement of
I graduation, but said that in com-
I mencement it was only the begin
| ning of a new era in the lives of the
! graduating class.
Though handicapped by the crowd
ed condition of the auditorium, mem
bers of the sophomore class pre
sented the daisy chain to the seniors,
which was also an ‘ impressive fea
ture of the program.
As the exercises came to a close a
beautiful tribute was paid to Essie
Bunch by Rebecca Hollowell. Miss
Bunch was an outstanding student of
the class, who met an untimely
death by drowning at Chowan River
bridge two weeks ago. "To know
her was to love her,” said Miss
Hollowell, “and though she is not
here in body, I am sure her spirit is
with us tonight. She was an out
standing student of our class, loved
and respected by all, and her sudden
passing has brought great sorrow to
the class of 1936.”
Rev. W. Frank Cale, pastor of
Rocky Hock Baptist Church, preach
ed the baccalaureate sermon Sunday
night when the auditorium was filled
to capacity. Mr. Cale delivered a
very forceful sermon on “The Great
est of the Sciences,” using as a text
Phil. 3:8.
“This is an age of inventions and
discoveries,” he began. “Burdens are
lifted and suffering alleviated due
to various discoveries and we should
pay tribute to scientists. We must
have respect for good sciences, but
the knowledge of Christ is the great
est of all sciences.”
He told of the outstanding quali
ties of Paul, who counted all for loss
but for knowledge of Jesus Christ.
“Knowledge of Jesus is spiritual,
which is above material,” he said,
“and when knowledge of material
things are put in the discard, knowl
edge of Christ continues on. God’s
word changes not and will stand the
test of time.”
Mr. Cale did not discount the
knowledge of things in this world,
■but recommended a knowledge of
Christ to help face the perplexing
problems and tribulations of life,
saying that only by this knowledge
can one majestically, heroically and
successfully face conditions in a
world that is rocking, and in the last
hour face the realities of life intelli
gently and gracefully.
“The acceptance of Christ spans
the chasm between an infinite God
and finite man,” continued the
speaker, “and one must know God by
faith for finite man oannote compre
hend an infinite God.”
In closing his sermon, Mr. Cale
recommended to the graduating class
that above all else they should make
it their business to learn of Christ,

adding that if this is done they need
not worry about their success in a
life upon which they were about to

ceeding. Jesus is or should be your
ideal to imitate, He is the perfect
speciman of manhood.
“As you start out in this, the
morning of youth, to make your
day’s run, may you catch a vision of
Him whose spotless character, His
devotion to truth, His uncompromis
ing loyalty to God, and thus to the
human race, furnish you a true ideal
of life.”
Mr. Byrum outlining the thoughts
of his text, Phil. 3:13-14, said for
getting the things that are behind
has much to do with the blessedness
and power of every life. Full atten
jtion cannot be set upon two things,
before and behind, at the same time,
i “Are you satisfied with your present
I ahievements?” asked the speaker.
! “If so, you will remain on the plains
■of the lowlands. Are you as good as
! you want to be ? If so, you have
never caught sight of the lowly
Nazarene. The mark set before us
is perfection. Progress depends up
on a worthy purpose, a dauntless
will and a divine force. You must
honor God and His word with a
vigor and challenge of a noble man
■ hood and womanhood.”
In closing his sermon, Mr. Byrum
told his hearers that the allurements
of the world must be mastered.
There are sc>ie pleasures in sin, and
wealth is deceitful. He urged the
graduate to make a choice like
Moses, choosing rather to suffer af
fliction with the people of God than
to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a
season.
