LISTEN! IT IS NOT TOO LATE VOLUME XVII. This, That, <S* the Other By MRS. THEO. B- DAVIS I used to wonder whether Wake lon commencements would seem different when all my own children had graduated and I would have only a community in terest in the proceedfhgs. I am now finding out. It is almost the same. There is the ever-present desire for all concerned to put their best feet forward and make the best ap pearance possible; the nervous anxiety for none to stumble when making that difficult turn from steps to stage; the deep con cern about memorized passages and their delivery. There is the same pride when things go off well. There is also the same continued fear that young di rectors of traffic with energeti cally waving flashlights may turn out to be more of a hazard than an element of safety—l'm al ways afraid we shall run into some of them as they so enthu siastically give information and instructions. There is the sustained surprise that children we have scarcely re alized are other than tots are up there waiting for diplomas—and getting them. Add this to the realization that many of these same children are the offspring of parents we saw graduate at Wakelon, and the sum total is that we are getting old. Which is no cause for grief But we are not yet old enough to prefer staying home to at tending Wakelon’s commence ment; and we expect to go as often as we can for as many years as we are able. Class night, we feel, belongs especially to t he families of the graduates, and we never crowd in then un less we, too, have a son on the stage and unless there is room enough; but the rest of it be longs also to the community and we want our share of the plea sure and pride it brings. . Our regret is that work which must be done prevents us from attend ing every feature. This paragraph is a special plea that every one who can do so visit the flower show at the woman’s clubhouse on May 1.3. The garden club is hard at work with arrangements and entries. Our town is becoming known for its interest in flowers and for its attractiveness, and we want to help those who desire its beau ty. There will be no admission fee Besides flowers on display, there will be flower plants and cut tings for e’ or just plain give-away. -o, if you don’t have one thing to offer, you couldn’t please those women more than by going and asking for some of the surplus from their gardens. It will be the easiest and best way to start a garden or border; you’ll be getting a free gift and at the same time helping the club carry out its aim of aiding all who want a variety of flow ers. You know how it is: if your flowers thrive it will not be long before you have to thin or prune them. And no real gardener can bear to throw away a plant if she can find some one who wants it They mean to take the plants to the flower show as a central point, and ve who want some might at least be willing to gi that far to get them. But you’d better go early. I mean to be on hand before the supply of anything is exhausted. That’s one time when receiving is just as blessed as giving. Commencement • Kenly High School Commence ment begins on May 4 with the ba'f alaureate sermon by Rev. P. F Newton.
