The exercises of commencement were of the highest order, and were well attended. There were several visitors to the school dur ing the commencement season, to some of whom the capacity of the plant and the beauty of loca tion were revelations. Many favorable comments were made by the judges in the music and expression contests concerning the work done in those depart ments. The main feature of the enter tainment for Friday night was the contests between the literary societies in music and expression. The representatives in music were Goldie Mcßae for the Da mons and Margaret Currie for the Pythians; while*in expression they were Henrietta Pierce and Elizabeth Mcßae for the Damons and Johnnie i1 i I Dun and Johnnie Baldwin for the Pythians. The judges rendered the decision for Johnnie Baldwin and Margaret Currie, Pythian representatives. The judges stood two-and-one in both contests. Other musical numbers were rendered which added much to the entertainment. . Especially good was the numbers by the Hawaiian orchestra. The judges in the music and ex pres- 1 sion contests were Miss Caryl j Brigham, of Hawkinsville; Prof. | John Waters, of Graymont; Mrs.' Reynolds, of Lyons; Mrs. Giles, of Vidalia. Miss Brigham and Prof. Waters served in both ex pression and music. The Class Day exercises Sat urday morning were very good. Especially good was the Valedic tory, by Laris Burkhalter. Dots.

On account of the sudden ill ness of one of the speakers, the annual debate between represent atives of the Damon and Pythian literary societies was called off during the exercises Saturday evening. The sermon on Sunday morn ing was certainly no disappoint ment to the large congregation who had assembled to hear Dr. Baker’s discourse. Dr. Baker ! preached a very appropriate ser mon on the foundations of char acter; and did so in plain, simple, efective manner. Dr. Macon spoke Sunday night to the de light and edification of another large audience. The baccalaureate address Mon day morning by Dr. Macon, of Forsyth, was a masterpiece, not of oratory, but of sound reason ing and deep thinking. He em phasized the fact that “all men are liars” who court favor by evading the direct truth, exag gerate their own ability or that of others, or flatter. Another i idea upon which he placed spe cial emphasis was that stealing property, bad as it is, is as no thing conpared with the under minig of one’s character and rep utation. After the address awards and I diplomas were granted to the following graduates: Hugh Burch, Laris Burkhalter, and Max Las seter; Roby Mason. Ethel Gra ham, Sue Lee, Nancy Martin, Esther Geiger, Gladys McAllister, Clyde Mcßride, Charlie Will Salter, EfTie Lee Currie, and Myrtie Lee.
