HOME ECONOMICS CLASS
FURNISHING MODEL HOME
One cf the Home Economics classes
of the Cliffside community has been
working on a very interesting home
making problem. This has been a
problem of furnishing a small home
consisting of a living room, dining
room, kitchen and bedroom, for a
family of average means. In order
to carry out their ideas to the best
advantage the girls e : ose a four-room
cottage and decided to actually place
the furniture and furnishings as if
the house was to be occupied by Mr.
and Mrs. Average Family, them
selves.
The class carefully selected fur
nishings, keeping- in mind their pur
pose to provide a comfortable cozy,
pleasant home at a reasonable price.
Practically all of the furniture was
selected from the regular stock of the
CiifTside Mills Furniture Store and it
is largely thru the splendid co-oper
ation of the store that the class has
been able to achieve its purpose.
This cottage, ready for its occu
pants, will be open to the public Fri
day, May 29th afternoon and night
and Saturday afternoon, May 30th at
which time all people who are inter
ested are invited to come and exam
ine the home which the girls have
provided for Mr. and Mrs. Average
Family.
OFFICERS ELECTED
The regular annual meeting of the
stockholders of Cliffside Mills was
held a few days ago when the fol
lowing officers were elected for the
ensuing year:
Chas. H. Haynes, president.
W. H. Haynes, vice-president.
G. C. Shuford, secretary.
Z. O. Jenkins, treasurer.
Immediately after the meeting a
delicious dinner was served at the
Cliffside Hotel to the stockholders
and a few invited guests.
JAMES-MARTIN WEDDING
A beautiful wedding was solemn
ized last Saturday afternoon at the
home of Mr. Robert James when his
eldest daughter, Geneva, became the
bride of Mr. C. B Martin. Their pas
tor, Rev. M. W. Heckard, was wait
ing at the beautiful improvised altar
and officiated in his usual impressive
manner. Only a few friends were
assembled in the living room which
was beautifully decorated with roses
and ferns.
The bride was attractively dressed
in a traveling suit of ashes of roses
georgette and carried a lovely bou
onet of bridal roses and ferns.
following the cere
mony the happy pair left for a two
weeks tour of Western North Caro-
after which they will be at home
in Cliffside.
Mrs. Martin is one of Cliffside's
most attractive young ladies and has
held a position as stenographer for
the Cliffside Mills. Mr. Martin is the
son of Mr. and Mrs. C. B. Martin, Sr.,
of Cowpens, and holds the position
of bookkeeper for the Cliffside Mills
Store. We join their many friends in
wishing for them a bon voyage on the
sea of matrimony.
Quite a number of Cliffsideitos at
tended the memorial service at High
Shoals church Sunday. As a conse
quence Sunday school attendance
was off some.
% •*
There was no preaching service at
either of the churches last Sunday
morning on account of the Baccalau
reate sermon at the school audito
rium, preached by Rev. W. v\. Akers,
pastor of the First Presbyterian
church of Lincolnton. An account of
the entire commencement program
will be found in another column of
this paper.
Misses Jessie James and Annie
Zachary accompanied by Mr. Ald
ridge motored up from Charlotte last
Saturday to be present at the mar
riage of Miss Geneva James and Mr.
C. B. Martin.
HIGH SCHOOL CLOSES
! A SUCCESSFUL TERM
Third Annual Commencement
Held May 22 to 25, Best
Term in History of School
The Commencement exercises of
Cliffside High School came to a close
on last Monday night with the gradu
ating exercises and the Literary ad
dress delivered by Hon. Clyde R.
Hoey, of Shelby, N. C. This pro
k-am marked the close of the most
successful term and commencement
exercises ever held in Cliffside. The
Commencement was opened by the
Alumni Banquet which was held on
last Thursday night in the banquet
hall of the Memorial building. Sev
enty-two plates were served by the'
home economics department and the
banquet was attended by the mem
bers of the Alumni Association, the
Cliffside School faculty, the members
of the local School Board and the
County Superintendent. The spirit
of revelry and good cheer was pres-
ent, toasts were given and respond
ed to by those present and two
dances, a rope dance and balloon
dance by the girls added color to the
event. Prof. Chas. C. Erwin acted
as toast-master and presided in his
usual happy manner.
j Friday night was class night. The
I class of '25 chose to make a depar
j ture from the customary class exer
| cises, and wrote their program in the
j form of a play. This was done under
the direction of Misses Mary Weaver,
| Edith Lindley and Edith Jenkins, who
supervised the writing of the play
and the production of it. This pro
duction made a wonderful hit with
all who saw it and the part contain
ing the prophecy was declared by
many present to have been one of
the best things of its kind ever seen.
Saturday night the annual play by
I the. senior class was given to o:«»» of
the largest audiences ever to witness
a play in the local Auditorium. The
play given was the rural comedy
"Aaron Slick from Punkin Crick,"
and the house was kept in an uproar
of laughter from the raising of the
curtain until the last scene closed
'in a whirlwind of applause.
1 This play was produced under the
direction of the High school princi
pal, Prof. Chas. C. Erwin and it sur
passed any play that has yet been
given by the local high school, both
in the manner in which the parts fit
ted those selected and in their per
fectly natural acting.
The sermon Sunday morning was
preached by Dr. W. W. A«ers, of
'Lincolnton. He chose as his subject,
whole land is Before You."
| Basing his sermon on the thirteenth
| chapter of Genesis. His was a mas
terly effort, teeming with advice to
the members of the class and making
■a profound impression on all who
heard him. Another feature of this
| program was the fine special music
iby the chorus class, under the direc
tion of Miss Beulah Heafner.
The graduating exercises on Mon
day night proved a fitting climax to
| the brillianca of the entire com
•mencement. First was the saluta
tory address of the class President,
Jonas Waters, the valedictory by
Ruby Smith and then a wonderful
and eloquent address by Hon. Clyde
'R. Hoey, truly a silver tongued ora
tor. He spoke on "The Opportunities
America Offers to the Young," and
•with his ready wit and matchless elo
quence, held his audience spell
bound as he poi'trayed the splendor
of the land in which we live and the
equipment necessary to become citi
zens worthy of it. After the address
Supt. Clyde A. Erwin awarded the
diplomas and presented County Supt.
'W. R. Hill, who awarded medals to
the best all-round students in the
/school and also the Alumni Scholar-
