The commencement proper
which began on Sunday even
ing at 8 P. M., is one of the
most successful in the history
of the school. On Suhday ev
ening the high school students
rendered one beautiful sacred
selection, ‘'Day is Dying in the
West,” and the Senior class
sang most impressively, "0 It
Is Wonderful.”
Dr. Joseph Rennie of First
Presbyterian Church, High
Point, gave the senior class a
most inspiring sermon; urging
them to cast their hopes and
aspirations in the hands of
God. Rev. O .E. Ward led the
opening prayer and Rev. E. E.
Williamson the benediction.
On Monday evening, a tre
mendous crowd turned out to
witness the very clever and
highly humorous comedy,“She’s
A Good Fellow,” which was pre
sented by twelve members of
the Senior class as follows:
Helen Hanner, Nancy Lee Dow
dy, Annie Belle Mitchell, as
daughters of Mr. Carl Gardner,
a part played by Philip Web
ster. Eleanor Martin and J. II.
Morgan and Janie Gilbert play
ed Mr. and Mrs. Tyler and
their daughter, Corinne. Lena
Sharp and Nellie Ledbetter
were the crooks. Lyle B. Turn
er was Leo Lane and Lerla
Larkin. Pauline Nance was
Miss Prudence Pepper. T. B.
Wilson was Wright Gilmore.
Leo’s rival. Each member play
ed well. Those getting unusual
applause were Lena Sharp as
the crook, and Lyle B. Turner,
both of whom did clever acting.
J. H. Morgan and Eleanor Mar
tin, as serious characters, were
highly commended.
As specialties, Lena Sharp
gave the class Journal, which
was highly applauded, while G.
E. Meteer favored the audience
with a lovely vocal solo, “Moth
er Macree.” Mrs. Watt Daniel
played several beautiful piano
selections at intervals. Miss
Dorothy Ragsdale, president of
the senior class opened the pro
gram with a very clever address
of welcome.
The royalty of this play, ten
dollars, was paid by advertise
ments of business men of Mad
ison. The other expenses such
as programs were paid by the
class from their class fund.
On Tuesday evening, all the
seniors took part on the class
night. A beautiful sight was
the rose chain of red and yel
low roses carried by Miss
Outzs’ sophomores as they
marched down the aisle sing
ing a lovely song composed by
Miss Outzs. The forty-one sen
iors marched in between the
sophomores and roses, the girls
wearing dresses of gay colors,
the boys wearing dark coats
and white trousers. The mas
cots, Donald Hawkins and Gen
eva Anglin came before the cur
tain and bowed. He wore a
suit of red with high-topped red
hat, she an evening dress of yel
low. Dorothy Ragsdale, dress
ed in lovely organdy gave a
most impressive president’s ad
dress. J. P. Carter gave his
tory nicely. Hilda Wall Penn
in class flower perhaps had1 the
loveliest number. When the
curtain opened she was against
a background of honeysuckle
and roses, with red and yellow
flood1 lights pouring on her from
the sides. Six children of pre
school age, representing roses,
and each dressed in an indi
vidual color and carrying love
ly baskets of roses came out
with dainty steps and sang,
“Seniors and Roses Smiling in
The Light,” Hilda recited about
the class rose with musical ac
companiment by Mrs. A. W,
Daniel.
The next number, class poem
which was entirely original-, by
Lyle B. Turner, elicited ripples
of laughter time and again.
Lyle very characteristically re
cited of the idiosyncrasies and
mannerisms of each member of
the class in such a way that no
one could take offense. Eliza
beth Money and Annie Belle
Mitchell as class optimist and
pessimist were highly amusing.
Alvin Angel as class orator was
splendid. Nelle Tucker as class
color was dressed in red. She
recited crimson and gold. Then
twelve seventh grade girls
dressed in colonial costumes of
crimson very beautifully gave
the minuet. The audience great
ly enjoyed this number.
The next number, statistics,
was highly complimented1. Wm.
Wade Gentry gave his introduc
tion with the curtains closed,
then suddenly the curtain open
ed slightly. As he called out
the prettiest girl, Clara Robert
son, stepped forward. The au
dience fairly gasped at the beau
ty, a decided brunette in sweep
ing white organdie. Then came
Janie Gilbert, cutest; Nelle
Tucker, best athlete; Lena
Sharp, biggest flirt; Daisy Mar
tin, best all around; Mozelle
Gibson, laziest; Leonora Wall,
most accomodating; Dorothy
Ragsdale, most popular. Of the
boys, handsomest, Winfred Rob
ertson; Harold Spire, cutest;
Philip Webster, best athlete; J.
H. Morgan, biggest shiek; Wm.
Wade Gentry, best all around;
Melvin Steele, prettiest perma
nent wave and biggest bum;
Bill Glenn,, squattiest; Hubert
Parrish, laziest; Ivy Hand, most
beloved; Lyle B. Turner, most
original. When the curtain
was drawn displaying the en
tire senior class, a spectacle of
rare loveliness, Wm. Wade Gen
try gave a humorious resume of
the character and accomplish
ments of each member.
The French harp selection by
Howard Marshall had the dis
tinction of being the only mem
ber that was encored.
Walter Byerly very cleverly
presented letters to fourteen
athletes as follows:Philip Web
ster, Dorothy Ragsdale, Wm.
Wade Gentry, Eloise Wall, Rob
Cardwell, Nelle Tucker, Grace
Carter, Travis Barham, Melvin
Steele, Frank Reynolds, James
Tucker, Janie Gilbert, Daisy
Martin, Dorothy Hughes.
Philip Webster gave a fine
talk on athletics.
Eight people irom a uuie
booth decorated in roses and
honeysuckle presented humor
ous gifts to each member as
follows: Mary Helen Shelton
Daisy Martin, Leonora Wall,
Pauline Nance, Sallie Fallin,
Winfred Robertson, James Shel
ton, Vinson Wilson. This num
ber was very fine indeed.
Sara Blackwell presented
“dates” to the freshmen—a gift
accepted by Baba Gann. Mary
Ruth Shelton very cleverly pre
sented a big tin loving cup to
the sophomores for having won
championship—William Tatum
Lauten Accepted thisJ Watt
Daniel, Jr., presented the Class
Crook to Ruth Carter, president
of the junior class.
Helen Hanner and Janie Gil
bert read the prophecy, which
was quite humorous. Sara El
eanor Martin presented the
class gift to high school,a hand
some dictionary which was
gracefully accepted by Miss
Rachel Cordle, librarian.
Last the curtain was opened
discovering the class beautiful
ly arranged behind the most
beautiful girl, Clara Robertson.
Very cleverly and well Clara re
cited from memory the humor
ous Will. The class sang to the
air of “Melody in F” their fare
well song. The curtain closed
on one of the best class nights
in the history of the school.
On Wednesday evening a
large audience witnessed the
Senior-Faculty-Board proces
sional come on stage, the sen
iors dressed in the dignified
robes and caps. J. 0. Busick
in a few words told the seniors
to remember their God in the
days of their youth and that
the riches of soul and mind are
the only real riches. He then
presented thirty-seven diplomas
and four certificates.
Miss Outzs and Mrs. Daniel
presented two lovely choruses
by the high school.
Dr. G. I. Humphreys gave an
excellent address on Life’s
Challenges. He said every hu?
man being feels an urge to try
out life—an urge to master the
mysteries Of life. He said ev
ery graduate will feel this urge
to mastery in no matter what
sphere he may be. If the urge
comes to master knowledge, he
plead with/ them to go to the
limit. If in oter fields, he urg
ed them to follow the gleam al
so. ITe told them that it is a
joy “In God’s word to be alive
and ready to meet life’s chal
lenge.” He concluded by tell
ing them to remember, howev

Father-Son Banquet at Mayodan
Gymnasium Building; Address
Thursday evening the hand
some new gymnasium of the
Mayodan school was dedicated,
with a father-son program and
banquet, staged) by the Parent
Teacher association. Covers
were laid for three hundred
and the entire program wSh
greatly enjoyed by the large
throng present. This handsome
building was made possible
by the hearty cooperation of the
Federal Relief Fund, Parent
Teacher association and Wash
ington Mills. It cost approx
imately $7,000, and is modern
in every respect.
Dr. M. L. Webb was toasfc
master and the following is the
program:
Song, America.
Invocation, J. S. Reynolds.
Toast “To Sons,” J. C. John
son.
Response, Charles Bollin.
Vocal solo, “Sonny Boy,” K.
V. Reid.
Vocal solo, “That Silver Hair
ed Daddy,” Mrs^ Allen Hedge
cock.
The speaker, Agnew H. Bahn
son, president of Washington
Mills, was introduced' by Dr. M.
L. Webb. We reproduce Mr.
Bahnson’s address below, feel
ing sure that it will be read
with much interest by the peo
ple of this section:
As a man thinketh in his
heart so is he.
I think it is substantially
true that as a man thinketh in
his heart so is his son.
The relationship of the Fath
er and Son offers one of the
closest and happiest association
of life, but carries with it an ob
ligation and responsibility on
both the Father and Son if this
relation is to be truly and ul
timately successful.
rosiuvtJ eBiauuomutiu suu
recognition of parental author-*,
ity is fundamental and of
importance or else there wiP
not be the honor and respect (hi
the part of the child for the
Father or parent. This, of
course, involves immediately
the matter of discipline which
is the subject of much consid
eration on the part of modern
educators and students on child
life and psychology, but it can
all be boiled down to a common
sense and practical basis even
though volumes have been writ
ten on the subject and hours
halve been spent in lecturing
and discussing various methods
and phrases of discipline.
Unless a child is taught to
recognnize parental authority,
there will certainly be great
difficulty in every phase of its
development and almost with
out exception, results in a spoil
ed and uncontrollable child
who is apt to bring grief and
discredit to its parents.
Some time ago I listened to
a lecture given by a student
and authority on child develop
ment. After the lecture there
wqg an informal discussion
which brought out a number
of pertinent questions. The lec
turer asked what the parents
present would do if a child
should call his father a.blank
fool and he admitted that his
own child had done this. He
did not get much response, but
I for one formed a very definite
and immediate conclusion that
the child needed a new father
and that all his time and effort
in studying Child, Development
was wasted if his own child had
been so poorly trained as to ev
en think of making such a re
mark to his father.
The old adage of “spare the
rod and spoil the child,” is
frequently used as justification
on the part of the parents to
whip their children for numer-.
ous offenses, but I am fully con
vinced that in most cases where
frequent whippings are indulg
ed in, that the parent is at
fault more' than the child. Ij
know from personal experience
tbiat children often act or say
things without thinking, and if
you ask them why they did •
certain thing, they will tell you
in all frankness, that they da
not know. It is equally true
that lots of grown people say
and. do things without thinking,
and I have never thought it waa
fair to a child to punish it se
verely for such things unlOaw
there ivas some maliciousnedgr
or mischief with it.
It is clear that the duty of
the parent is to devote suffici
ent time to the child for its
Eloper development, and it is
natural that the father and son
should spend a great deal of
,time together.
Time does not permit much
of a detail discussion of this
matter, but certainly the devel
opment of a boy should be
along three general lines all of
which are of equal importance,
physical, mental and spiritual.
The most effective time for
training a child is prior to the
age of 12 years, and the most
effective means is by setting
the boy a good example and by
inspiring him to develop his
physical body, his mind and
his spirit, and if his develop
ment properly includes this
combination, the parent may be
sure that the boy will always be
a source of comfort and pleas
ure to him.
As a boy thinketh in his
heart so is he.
Unfortunately there are some
uoys who do not think'and they
simply develop into one of a
mass of men, but it is natura
for a boy to think and the
things he thinks about are the
things'Thal determine the kind
of man he will develop into.
When Franklin D. Roosevelt
was a mere lad, he visited the
President of the U. S. with his
father, who stated to the Pres
ident that Franklin was ambi
tious to become President of
the.U. S. President Cleveland
told th elad' that he hoped he
?rouLd never be unfortunate
enough to become President of
the_U. S., but he is President of
the United States.
A number of years ago there
was a boy who was deeply in
terested in trains. He made
spiodels of trains and tracks and
jcpent his spare time in thinking
about trains. He became pres
ident of the greatest railroad
system in the U. S.
I ave heard Governor Gard
ner say that when he was a
mere boy he made up his mind
that he wanted to be Governor
of North Carolina. He became
Governor of North Carolina and
made an excellent record.
I could give you hundreds of
illustrations of men of all kinds
and descriptions who made up
their minds as boys that they
wanted to do certain things in
life and through determination
and preseverance they suc
ceeded in doing those things.
You boys should realize that
every position of honor and re
sponsibility that is now filed by
some man you may admire oi
look up tot will some day be
vacant and if you are the right
kind of boy and develop into
the right kind of man,you have
in this free country of ours, an
opportunity to fill one of those
positions, and I hope that to
night you boys will remember
that such an opportunity is
yours.
I have indicated already three
fundamental lines of your de
velopment. You should be out
of doors as much as you can
and participate in athletics or
those things which will develop
a strong physical Jjody, which
every one of you will need
when you reach manhood. Your
attitude towards school should
be that it is designed solely for
your development and that you
shopld take advantage of every
opportunity the school offers tc
develop your mind. You cannot
succeed without proper spirit
ual development and every one
of you sho.uld take advantage
of the opportunities which our
good Sunday schools and
churches in Mayodan offer for
your spiritual and religious de
velopment.
The "Combination of these
three fundamental characteris
tics of boyhood and manhood
can be combined into one word
--CHARACTER—which cannot
be measured in dollars and
cents or by any other material
means, but which is the great
est single and most priceless
asset you can possess.
Our American Government
was founded upon the belief in
the genuine worth of each man,
woman and child, the humblest
aa well as the most exalted, in

BE A BOOSTER
If you think your club the best,
Tell ’em so;
If you’d have it lead the rest,
Help it grow!
When there’s anything to do,
Let the others count on you;
You’ll feel good when it is
through
Don’t you know.
If you’re used to giving knocks,
Change your style;
Throw boquets instead of rocks
For a while,
Let the other fellow roast,
Shun him as you would a ghost;
Meet his banter with a boast
And a smile.
When a member from afar
Comes along,
Tell him who and what you are,
Make it strong,
Never flatter, never bluif l
Tell the truth for that’s enough,
Be a booster, that’s the stuff,
Don’t just belong.
Legion To Stage
Indoor Circus
The Vaughn-Benton Post No.
80 of the American Legion of
Madison are planning what
they hope to be one of the most
successful civic events ever at
tempted in Madison or vicinity.
On the nights of June 6. 7, 8,
9 and 10 the local Post is
sponsoring and presenting an
indoor circus in the Price Ware
house. The building will be
beautifully decorated and bril
liantly lighted' for the occasion.
In one end of the mammoth
warehouse a stage will be erect
ed and each night an intermit
tant program of eight or nine
professional circus and vaudi
ville acts will be presented. In
conjunction with the show a
high class ten piece broadcast
ing band will furnish music for
the act and the nightly dances
that will climax each night’s
entertainment.
Representatives of the local
legion post will within a few
days call upon the merchants
and automobile men in regard
to displaying their products
during the big week. It is evi
dent that local dealers will wel
come the opportunity of par
ticipating in the event.
Tickets will be placed in the
hands of dozens of ticket sell
ers within the next few days
and it is expected that several
fraternal, civic and religious or
ganizations will assist materi
ally in the disposal of these
tickets
Dr. C. B. Pratt, local legion
commander, is very optimistic
in the belief that the post is
sponsoring an assured success.
W L Marshall has been ap
pointed and will act through
out as general chairman of the
event. .
Other members of the indoor
circus committee, who will take
an active part in the affair, are
