The baccalureate services of Fair
view High School, which was held at
the school building last Sunday morn
ing was a fine one, despite the inclem
ency of the weather, the building be
ing filled almost to its capacity. Rev.
J. B. Johnstone, of the Cairo Metho- I
dist church, ’delivered a very appro- j
priate and effective sermon at this!
hour, his subject being “Young Peo- j
pie and their Pride.” Rev. Johnstone
greatly impressed upon the minds of
the young people, as well as the older
the .. advantages , , and , disadvant- ,
ones,
ages of pride. His sermon will be
long remembered by those who heard
it. [
Tuesday evening, April 24th, the
Senior play, “The Path Across the
Hill,” was presented to a crowded
audience. The true moral and rom
ance, together with the pathos and
humor of the play, were forcibly and
effectively brought out by the charac
ters. Every role was very successful-
ly played and the large audience
showed signs of contentment and ap
proval throughout the entire perform
ance. Many have expressed their
opinion that this was the greatest
success of any play ever presented
at Fairview.

beautiful way that the class was

described in a very beautiful way the
magnificient sunsets of nature, tell
ing the class that they, too, might
reach so lovely sunsets of life if they
keep striving as heretofore.
