classic W character interpretation and
lmpersonative -comedy.
"The Snuff Stricken Reader" will be
on Mr. Pugh's Chautauqua program
this season, together with other rolllck-
"Borrowed Money." Door receipts
were seventy-six dollars more or less. ;
The program Friday night moved off
without a hitch. Even the curtain
and lights gave no apprehension.
Prof. J. T. Warren, president of
Hall-Moody Normal, ably addressed
the graduates, subject, "Invest
ments." Mr. Warren, in the school
room for years," has a ripe experience
in forward outlook, pleading with
the young people to make their plans !
practically. That education is well
worth while when measured in these
tei.ms. County Superintendent B. A.
Vaughn, previously to distributing
the diplomas and eighth grade cer
tificates, reminiscently spoke of his
former" school days- here when we
were housed in a three-room build-
.: ing, with W. H. Cook as principal.
Mr. r Vaughn also spoke of his pleas
uraoie omciai association with our
present faculty. Only five of the
graduates, Mary Nelle Kitchell, Ma
mie Osborn, Jennie Holloway, Lillian
Barker and Claude Callicott were
present, E. W. Stovall Still being ab
sent and in the hospital in Memphis.
His absence was a poignant sorrow
thruout the social and executive
functions of his class. Both on Sun
day previous and Friday evening he
was filially represented by his ven
erable father, Mr. Lish Stovall, res
ident of the Beventh district. This
class has the honor to have certifi-
i cuie ior a year to teacn in tnis coun
ty. Those of the eighth grade receiv
ing certificates were Virginia Hous
er, Joe Harper, Oliver Coates, Clyde
Usery, Leone Callicott, Eunice Crock
er, Fairy Mai Carter, Delma Reeder
and Edward Smith. Several medals
of excellence were given, Elizabeth
McNeill receiving two for best aver
age, first, in sixth grade, given by
her teacher, Miss Holloway, second
