WAXAH&CHIE HIGH SCHOOL
Excellent Program Rendered by
the Graduates.
The large audience that assembled
in the auditorium of the Park High
School building last night were af
forded an entertainment which, to
many <>f them, was the most enjoya
ble they had ever witnessed. The
daughters, the son, the sisters, the
sweetheart, or tfie friend of some
oBe it) that audience was to receive
his or her diploma from the Waxa
hachie High School, and no previ
ous event in the life of that young
person had drawn so much atten
tion. The class of I'.srJ %a* a good
ly sight last night. The class was
composed of seven young ladies and
on> young man, and the young la
dies looked very dainty in their
handsome dresses of white.
The commencement exercises of
the Waxahachie High School are
never arranged for effect. The sim
ple program is merely the sitting
for the presentation of diplomas,
which marks tkeir readiness for col
ι lege work or f^r entering the vari
I ous a vocation ι and professions of
i life. It does >how, however, some
thing of wJiatis accomplished in the
j high school, >or the young persons
to whom thehonor is given of rep
resenting thiir class, reflects only
distinction pen its teaching.
It was Btdeniably warm in the
' auditoriutrtfast night, but the gen
; >TJll Ι-ΛΙ ΓΙΙ... .. ··. »... . .... . —
kept a cetured audience In their
seats for frarly three hours. The
i house wa filled with the represen
1 tative p«ole of Waxahachie and it
I has been reel y remarked today that
i a better bhaved audience never he
tore » iiihled inside the walls of
this In (tution. All went there ex
pectlngo I"1 given a choice etiter
tainmei atid in this they were not
disappuited. It is characteristic of
these rniiJiencein, nt exercises that
(the pu l* of the Waxahachie High
! SchooVan, and do enter perfectly
! into t)> spirit of the exercises and
not otf acquit themselves in such
■ faeh'o as to please their friend»,
butwlng a sparkle of pride into
th# eys of their instructors.
Thedecoration» around about the
etaff^were pleasingly arranged and
adde< much to the beauty of the
seen . The ptdMtlni class w hs
' arrayed in a semi-circle on the
»ta^· and just to their rear chairs
wer· occupied by Mayor lJickett and
the board of aldermen, the entire
school board, Rev. ('. K. Wright
an* County Superintendent E. D.
Crkidie.
While the audience was assemb
ling several choice selections were
rendered by the Wise Orchestra.
Tiiis company of talented musicians
never fail to please arid delight the
most fastidious and critical audi
ence and that their music was ap
preciated on this occasion was evi
denced by the hearty applause with
which they were greeted.
Before turning the exercises over
to 1'rof. Winn and the class Super
intendent W. L. Acker, of the pub
lic schools, made a short address in
which he took occasion to express
hU gratitude to the patrons, the
trustees and the faculty for the co
operation in the work of educating
the children of the ciiy. In review
ing the work of the year just ending
Prof. Acker eaid the school hat
been steadily attaining- a higher de
gTee of general excellence, and il
took rank with the best schools ο
the state. Prof. Acker, by hie mor<
than ordinary executive ability, hat
proven himself to be one of th<
' most efficient superintendents wh<
i ever presided over the school. Η»
I is a strict disciplinarian and he has
j been untiring in his efforts to placc
the Waxahachie High School in tlx
liront rank of educational institu
j tions. In this noble work he has
ι been ably assisted by a corps of effl
! cient teachers.
At the conclftsinn of Prof. Acker's
address Rev. It. Wright offered
an earnest and fervent invocation.
In delivering the salutatory Miss
Alice Louisa Gibson acquitted her
self charmingly. Her expression
was good and enunciation clear and
distinct. Just here it might be well
to state that in this class the old
stereotyped essays were dispensed
with and each one on the program
recited from memory.
"Neither the Naked Hand nor the
Understanding I>eft to Itself can do
Much," was given by Miss Micca
Ethel Fusion in a thoroughly ac
ceptable manner.
Miss Martha Virginia Anderson
acquitted herself in an admirable
maniier In the recitation, "Two
(•ray Wolves." This was a very
pretty little monologue and the por
trayal of the different characters
was well done. ,
Misses Annetta Lucile Arnold
and Mabel Inez (Smith sang- a vocal
duet in a very sweet and charming
manner.
The next number on the program
was the class noem by Miss Euna
Κ Ht»· Rose. It was as thoroughly
acceptable an effort for this occa
sion as could he desired. It was
just long enough to do herself and
tier subject justice and was interest
ing from the beginning1 to end.
The class prophecy by Robt. Car
roll Totld made' a distinct hit. It
was well worded and contained
enough comedy to ki-ep the audience
in mirthful mood.
The valedictory by Miss Gladys
Elizabeth Tingle was admirably
driven. She acquitted herself chartn
ingly.
The farewell chorus by the entire
class was sung in a most pleasing
manner.
The university scholarship and
dictionary were presented by Hon.
J. L. Gammon in a neat little speech.
Mr. Gammon explained that the
scholarship entitled the bolder to
enter the State University without
standing another examination. It
went to the one making the highest
jreneral average during the school
year and Miss Gladys Tingle was
the fortunate winner. The diction
ary, Mr. Gammon explained, was
given by the superintendent and
the teachers to the one making the
highest average in spelling and
this valuable prize was awarded to
Miss Micea Ethel Fuston.
Before awarding the diplomas,
which was the next and last feature
of the programme, Hon. Γ. J. Cole
made a short address. He said
that the class to graduate this year
contained seven young ladies and
one young man, seven to one; not
sixteen to one. in referring to
this fact Mr. Cole said it was a sad
thought that when boys arrived at
that age where an education was of
so much advantage to them they
would quit school. Somebody is to
blame for this sad state of affairs,
continued the speaker.
Iti the name of the trustees and
faculty Mr. Cole then presented the
graduates with their diplomas.
The graduates were the recipients
of a profusion of fragrant flowers
from their many frirtids.
The credit for the decorations be
longs to Miss Jennie Ward, Mrs.
Emma Fulkerson and the tenth
grade. It was by their deft fingers
that the stage was given such a tas
ty appearance.
