WINDER HIGH SCHOOL CLOSED MONDAY Splendid Program— Seven Fine Young Men and Seven Charm ing Young Ladies Received Di plomas. Brilliant Occasion Long to be Remembered by the Large Audience. Nothwithstanding the rush of rain and the flickering lights and temporary total darkness, the com meneement exercises of Winder High School passed off with com mingled interest, pleasure, excit ment, artistry, flowers, beauty, mu sic, and thought. The deluge of rain could not dampen the ardor of the smiling graduates and their parents, relatives and friends, crowding the auditorium for the splendid occasion. The platform was full of na ture’s choicest flowers arranged in artistic semi-circle in front, be hind which, appeared the very flower of chivalry and beauty, in the young manhood and young womanhood of the class of 1919, in cap and gown, in the dignity of seniors and graduates. The platform thus ceased for the time to be itself and became to the be holder, a dream, a “thing of beau ty’’ and, as many felt, “a joy for ever. ’ ’ The program was up to the usu al standard and was one of the best ever rendered by Winder graduates, who acquited them selves with credit and honor. From the very first chord of the grand march, the first word of the graduation song, the first sentence of Mr. John G. Maxwell’s elo quent and well spoken salutatory, to the last farewell word of the excellent valedictory by Miss Ma ry Louise Johns, who charmed her audieneeby her grace of manner, clearness of voice, eloquence of thought, and finished rhetoric, yes from first to last, the varied pro gram was full of fine inspiration and sustained interest. And so the speeches , the songs, the music, and the diplomas glad ly received, together with the smiles of joyous youth, all these were elements of a real dream of life, never to he forgotten by par ticipants and those who love them All honor to the graduates of 1919 may they live long and prosper. All honor to their teachers who through the years have guided them to the goal. Hon. W. B. McC’ants, with few, but well chosen words, presented the diplomas; and Superintendent Cash with feeling stepped forward for a few well-spoken words of farewell and advice to the class; after which he presented Rev. R. E. Moss for the literary address of the evening. The program rendered was as follows: Clayton’s Grand March—En trance of Seniors. Graduation Song—Class. Salutatory—John G. Maxwell, Second Honor. History—Mabel Herrin. Solo—Miss Hinton. IWem— Mary Hayes. Sftftisfirs—Edwin Starr. Orchestra. Chorus Song —High School Girls. Presentation of Class Flower— Runette Woodruff. Will—Frances Brooks. Valedictory Mary Louise Johns, First Honor. Delivery of Diplomas—Hon. W. B. MeCants, President Board of Education. • Address—Rev. R. E. Moss. “Three Jewelled Crowns.” Rev. R. E. Moss arose at 11:30 for the literary addres, hart said lie knew' the audience wished him to remember that “multum in parvo” and “brevity is the soul of wit” were two very fine mot toes to be heeded on such occas ions, and at such a late hour. And after a few flashes of humor, said in part as follows : As you sit here in caps and gowns, 1 give you each three jewelled crowns. The crown of life, the crown of light, The crown of love, all beaming bright. 1 mean more than mere physic al life, mere physical light, mere physical love, great and necessa ry as each is. Education lifts these words higher and enriches them with a deeper and fuller meaning. Life is more than mere existence. It is heart-throb and energy and enthusiasm. As phys ical life flourishes best in light, so the soul-life expandes more easily in the light of learning, the light of truth and wisdom. Life is meaningless and light is needless without love, the greatest of the three. I mean the love that enjoys to serve and sacrifice, the love that “envies not,” that “suffer eth long and is kind”; the love of comradeship, that makes a friend “stick closer than a broth er”, and enriches the literature of life with such stories as “Da mon and Pythias”, Jonathan and David.” Life is a crown of richest rubies. Light is a crown of purest pearl. Love is a crown of choicest diamonds. Wear worthily these crowns.” (Continued to last page. HEAR HON. J. J. BROWN AT JEFFERSON Hon. A. G. Lamar, Winder, Ga.
