successful year’s work on Friday, May

various departments elicited much
praise from the many visitors who
attended, and reflected much credit
upon teachers and pupils.
The last few days of the school
v/ere devoted to the final examina
tions in the various grades in deter
mining promotions for the following

The regular monthly meeting of the
Brevard Club was held at the Club
rooms Tuesday night, and several
matters of interest were discussed.
The reports of various committees
were received. The committee on
the road to the J. H. Tinsley camp
reported satisfactory progress in the
work, which, it v/as said, would be
completed in a few days.
Considerable discussion was brou
ght out in connection with the report
of the committee on good roads. A
strong sentiment in favor of working
the road from Rosman to Pickens
County Line developed. J^o spec
ial recommendation, however, was
adopted.
The committee on the ball park re
ported that the work there had almost
been completed and that over $200
had already been spent.
The advertising committee has pre
pared a circular letter, which appears
elsewhere in this issue of The News.
The question of providing rest ben.
che on Main Street and at other plac
es was discussed. Serious objection
was urged against the movement so
far as Main Street was concerned, but
a committee was appointed to loot
after the matter of providing l>fen-
ches at the ball park and possibly
elsev/here. This^ommittee consists i
of R. K. Zachary, C. H. Klueppel-
berg, C. P. White and J. A. Miller. •
Two applications for membershipt’
were, acted upon favorably.
Following the business session ice
