The Spindaletonian CLARENCE GRIFFIN, Ed-Mgr. MRS. G. F. HOVIS, Associate Ed. Local Headquarters Spindale Drug Store THURSDAY, JUNE 11, 1925 SPINDALE SCHOOL CLOSES GOOD YEAR Dr. Little Delivers Baccalau reate Sermon —Declamation and Recitation Contests. Honor Roll. The fifth Annual Commence ment exercises of the Spindale school, held June 4-sth, closed one of the most successful school terms possibly ever held here. During the year Prof. B. L. Smith and an able corps of teachers have labored hard and faithfully to make it a good year. The results of this were seen in the large attendance, co-operation of the parents and the high class of woik done by the students. The commencement exercises open ed Thursday everyng with the play, "An Old-Fashioned Mother," given by students of the high school, be fore a well filled house. The actors acquitted themselves well, showing excellent training. Miss Flora Hill, of the Senior class, took the lead, playing the part of the old-fashioned mother. Supporting her in the lead were Misses Ora Crenshaw, Dora Led better and Bentha Beam. Mack Hill as "Jerry," the country lad, fur nished the comical side. Playing the various other parts were Misses Ruth Ellis and Orrah Lee Hill, Johnny Yelton, Claude Reid, James Griffin, George Grayson, Pink Nanney and members of the choir. Declamation and Recitation Contests. The declamation and recitation contests for the K. S. Tanner medals were held Friday afternoon at 3:00 o'clock before the largest audience ever gathered for this commencement feature. Mr. R. E. Price, Mrs. D. B. Wilson, and Mrs. Fred Mcßrayer, acted as judges. In the declamation contest Adrian Hovis was awarded the Tanner declaimer's medal. He used as his subject, "Lee at Appo matox." Other contestants were Charles Duncan and Reid Jones. One HERE WE COME With more good prices. We are not ashamed of our prices, and want everybody to know how cheap we sell.

That is economy—because wet feet and illness may fol low. Buying a new pair of shoes at such times, however, is not prac ticing economy. Usually it is thoughtless extravagance. Shoe repairing has been developed into an art —made neces sary by the high price of shoes. Many well-to-do folks now have their shoes repaired or rebuilt at the first signs of wear. As a result they get value received for their shoe investments. SPINDALE SHOE SHOP ALL WORK GUARANTEED SPINDALE, N. C. pra A ; Hk aM ■■ .i H deciaimer, Mack Hill, was sick and unable to take part. Marjorie Hill was awarded the re citer's medal for her recitation "Seein' Things." Permelia Northey received honorable mention on her recitation "High Culture in Dixie." Orrah Lee Hill and Foy Pritchard were the other contestants. The out standing feature of the contest was the excellent delivery of the de , clamations and recitations, showing that much time and training had been devoted to each speaker. Since 1921 Mr. K. S. Tanner has | given annually two medals, one to 'the high school boy delivering the best declamation and one to the high school girl delivering a recitation. Winners of these medals during the five years are: 1921 —Irene Fox, Carl Cowan. 1922 —Clyde Huff stickler, Clarence Griffin. 1923 —Flora Hill, M. D. Haney, Jr. 1924 —Bentha Beam, J. U. Grose. 1925—Marjorie Hill, Adrian Ho vis. Class Day Exercises Dr. Luther Little, pastor of the First Baptist church,. Charlotte, de livered the commencement address at the graduating exercises Friday evening in the auditorium of the Bap tist church. Captain B. L. Smith, su perintendent of the school, was in charge of the exercises. The three young ladies who were given diplo mas and certificates of graduation took part as follows: Miss Grace Ellington, class history; Miss Flora Hill, class prophecy; Miss Ora Cren shaw, valedictory. This is Spindale's second graduating class. A feature of the program was a solo by Mr. Earl Rasor, of Charlotte, whom Dr. Little introduced as the South's greatest tenor. Dr. Little's sermon was a master piece. He is a polished, attractive speaker. His message, delivered with great earnestness, will long be re membered and talked of in this town. Taking as his subject "The Three Gardens," Dr. Little said in part: "God's ideal dwelling place is in a garden. The three most strate gic events in all history have taken place in a garden. The world's tragic fall took place in the Garden of Eden. The greatest service ever ren dered to humanity was in Gethse mane where human suffering reached its greatest climax, where sacrifice found its fairest form. In the gar A PAGE, OR SECTION, DEVOTED TO THE UPBUILDING OF SPIND ALE SPINDALE, THE HOME OF FINE ST TEXTILES (den of Joseph's tomb Jesus was rais !ed from the dead, i "Every life passes through these three gardens, if it is lived to any end 'or aim. First, childhood and youth iis the Eden of life. Here we have : a greater degree of innocence than j comes on later in life. This, too, is I the period of implicit trust and con fidence, of freedom from corroding care that breaks the heart. In child hood andi youth there is no conscious ness of real sin. Men and women are j embarrassed by consciousness of their own foibles and faults; children can come boldly and bravely. In child > hood, life's experiences are covered I with a halo. Malice is not borne i longer than a day. Imagination given j full play lays foundations for to i morrow's deeds. "Manhood and womanhood is the Gethsemane of life. All that is out side of Eden is inside of Gethsemane. In that place you are to make sacri fices for the good of the world. You are to serve humanity even to the point of self-sacrifice. "The garden of Joseph's tomb, where Christ overcame his greatest barrier, demonstrates that when bar riers get in the way there is some thing to get them out of the way. 'Where there's a will there's a way.' By solving problems you win the di- 1 ploma of conquest. "There is still a fourth garden, the garden of the future, the garden of the New Jerusalem, the garden of glory. This is the eternal Eden, ' God's heaven, the garden of God." The Spindale Band was present and l played several appropriate selec- j tions during the evening. Excellency In Spelling. Friday afternoon Capt. B. L. Smith awarded certificates of honor to Misses Ora Crenshaw, Gladys Grif fin and Leona Devinney for excel lency in spelling.
