COMMENCEMENT EXERCISES AT CITY
HALL ENJOYED BY RECORD CROWD
■The graduating exercises of the high
school Monday evening closed a year of
achievement in every department of the
schools of the city that is gratifying
to the public and very satisfactory to
the patrons.
Notwithstanding the inclement weath
er, the large auditorium of the city hall,
including the gallery, was packed to
Its capacity to accommodate what was
estimated to be one of the largest
crowds ever assembled in the building.
The stage setting was beautiful and
dainty with its green background in
terspersed with DoTOthy Perkins roses
in all the loveliness of their pinki
blossoms. Against this harmonizing
background, the gaduating class of six
teen young men and twenty-two young
women completed a strikingly beautiful
picture. The frocks of the young ladies
of sheer, soft material were cut on sim-i
pie lines ,which enhanced their youthful
oharm. The ease and grace which char
acterized every part of the evening’s
entertainment was notably pleasing
The program was opened with the
class song, after which Rev. E. L. Bar
ber gave the invocation. The Saluta
tory, given in a pleasing way by Robert
Smith .made each and every one feel
thoroughly welcome. In a most unique
manner, Dumnh Morgan, gavo the pre-
Ht utation,- which made all acquainted
with the personnel of the class. The
Class History, by Hildred Harman,
strikingly pictured tho important events
through which the class had passed.
Gwyn Toney delightfully entertained
,the audieno| with an attractive read
ing. Ruth Ivey displayed real poetic
talent in her class poem. On the Will
benig read by Zela Chambers, it was
found that the senior class had be
queathed the remainnig classes of tho
high school, a rich fortune.Hildred Har
man, Rebecca Brock and Audrey Moore,
gave a glee club selection which was

njoyable. To look into the future and
sec the class as they will be, was pic-
tu^id in a most interesting manner in
the Prophecy by Lois Hendon. The
Valodiotorian, Ruth Ivey, gavo tho faro-
vvel to the class, fnculty and students,
In an impressive and touching manner!
After the valedictory, Superintendent
K.nox Walker, briefly viewed tho pro
gress of the schools during the past
term, and then made au earnest appeal
for united support and co-operation for
ihe coming year. Wo face the future
with prospects of a greater and better
school. Prof. Walker suggested a slo-
gun, “Co-operation for better schools.”
With that spirit of co-operation and
sympathy on the part of students, par
ents and teachers, wo should place Car
rollton among tho foremost towns of
Georgia in educational work. Such is
Prof. Walker’s ideal, and we believe
that, in his devotion to the wbrk and
Ihe dosiro to bo of the largest service
I o tho school and community, be will be
unstained by an efficient corps of teach
ers. His farewell to the class, with
words of kindly admonition and en
couragement, urging them on to larger
achievement and more dovoted Bervice
m large fields, was an expression of. tho
school’s appreciation of them.
■Mr. L. K. Smith, chairman of thc|
Hoard, with fitting words, presented the
members of the senior class with diplot
mas. Fourteen of the class were also
presentod with provisional teachers li
censes, issued by the Stato Board of
education, upon tho satisfactory com
pletion of a Normal Training course.
The farewell song was given by tho
■■lass, after which Rev. J. P. Erwin pro
nounced the bonediction.
One of the gratifying announcements
was that eighty-six of tho students of
the schools had been neither tardy nor
absent during tho year. Certificates of
award are to be given to them.
Mr. A, K. Snead, Jr., who has been
with tho Citizens Bank, of this city for
past four years, has accepted a place
with tho First National Bank of St.
Petersburg, Fla., and has gono .there
to begin work on Juno tho first.
Mr. Luther McGouirk, formerly of
Fnrrollton, is with the sumo Florida in
stitution.

Mr. J. R. Wnlkor, 17 years old, and
grandson of our fellow townsman,
Mr. J. M. Walter, who is a member
of tiro senior class of tho Tech High
school, was last Monday awarded a
prize of $25.00 by the Atlanta Conven
tion Bureau for tho best essay and
drawing on tho following subject:
“Atlanta, the Convention City.” One
of the main reasons Mr. Walker gavo
for Atlanta’s success was tho “At
lanta spirit.”
The structural worker feels as safe up on the
frame-work of a great building as he does in his own
home, due to his many years of training and experi
ence.
This same unshaken confidence is enjoyed by our
many depositors, due not only to our training and
experience, but also to our well developed facilities
and earnest desire to co-operate with each customer.

Do Not Believe It,
The Farmers Are The Back
bone of Our Prosperity
This does not mean that the farmers make pros
perity any more than that a backbone makes a hu
man being. There must be arms and legs that man
ufacture; there must be arteries, and a circulatory
system that transports and distributes; and most of
all there must be a brain that directs all parts of the
body and causes each to help and supplement the
others.
It does not do a man any good to have merely a
fine, big backbone if his arteries are hardening or if
his arms and legs are becoming paralyzed.
Anything that developes one part of the body at
the expense of any other is detrimental rather than
helpful.
Good health is the result of building up all parts
of the body simultaneously. Good business is the
result of building up all sections of the nation sim
ultaneously.
On the other hand, a good backbone is necessary
for a healthy man and a healthy nation, and the
farmers are the backbone of America.—Roger W.
Babson.

And dark clouds obsc.uro the sky, 1

And the tempest rages high,
There will bo a bright tomorrow
And a fair and cloudless sky.

For boyond the storms so drear
There will be a bright tomorrow
Full of light nnd cheer.
There will bo a bright tomorrow,
When the storms of life are o’er;
Thore will bo a bright tomorrow,
When life’s tempest comes ne’er more.
