The Commencement execiacs,
which were helu in the School au
ditorium Thursday and Friday
nights, were well.attended, many
baviug to stand in the aisles and
on the porches. Thursday night
was given to the music class.
This concert as usual showed
splendid practice and training on
the part of the pupils and teacher.
Much credit is due the teacher.
Mrs. .lames Newsome, for the
wonderful progress the students
hsve made in music. The exer
cises Friday night were opened
with the invocation by Rev. S. N.
Watson, after which a quartette
sang "Sweet and Low." Dr.
IluU-.rt McNeill Poleal, the siieak
er of the evening, was introduced
by Prof. R. E. Williams, as tlie
"ida^^f his dreams." Dr. Poleal
held the undivided attention of the
audience for forty minutes. His
subject was "The Profession of
GtMid Citizenship", proving that
being a good citizen is realy a pro
fession. Certificates of promotion
were given to those students who
had made the averuge. There
were six students, three boys and
three girls in the tenth grade,
namely: Hugh Jones, Edward
Kiiox, and Paul Watson; Susie
Brett, Ruby Banks, and Bessie
Lee. We hope that the eleventh
grade will be added before school
oi>cns next year. We only have
three years in the high school, and
we ought to have four. After the
address, the four medals were giv
en, one in each itsan to the punil
making the highest average. Su
sie Brett was the winner of the
U. D.C. medal in the High School.
It will be rememl>ered by many
that Susie won this same medal
hist year. The medal in the inter
mediate grade was won by Earle
Liverman. Earle came second to
this medal last year. This medal
is given each year by the Better
ment Association. Mr. Williams
announce J that there was a
close race f?.r the other two med
als, Estelle Clark leading by a mar
gin of less than one noint over
Laura May Watson, the latter Hav
ing won this same medal last year.
This medal was given this .tear by
Mrs. J. N. Clark, in memory of
her father, the late W. P. Taylor.
In the primary room there were
tlftee who made almost the same
grade, John Davis Shaw, Roaaie
Lee Snivey, and Richard McGlo
lion; but John Davis Shaw had the
highest average. This medal was
given by W. S. Herring. Miss
Maiy Brady won the five dollar
gold piece offered by Prof. Wil
liams, at the beginning of the ses
sion, for the most proficient spel
ler. Mention should be made of
Lawrence Mitchell, the smallest
and youngest child in school, who
completed he first grade in four
months.

Iris Council, teachers in the Win

With u? she was generally known
as Miss Njincy, and wa* the oldest
member of the Harrellsville M.j

church, but her sent was never
vacant when ahe could be
there, often walking the diatauce
of three ntilea from her home to
the church?the House of God ahe
loved and cherished ao many years.
Her pastors were always informed
of her feebleness, and often visit
ed her, which she much appreci
ated. Her present pastor had of
ten visited her, and had left her
home only a short while before
the end came. While her finan
cial means were limited, she never
failed to contribute to the pastor's
salary and Missions.
During liet illness she would of
ten say that she knew when the
Lord look her sway, she would
dwell with Jesus, for she had lov
ed and feared Him all of her many
years. Her only regret was to
leave her aged sister. Their de
yoliou for each other was tender
and true, having lived together
almost forty fears
Her funeral services were con.
ducted by her pastor, Rev. J. A.
Morris, in the Harrellsville M. E.
Church, and her remains were
laid beside those of her mother in
the cemetery. Many friends were
present to attest their remembrance
of her. She can say, "I have
fought a good fight. I have kept
the faith."
