SENTINEL
DOUGUSVILLE HIGH SCHOOL
Douglasvilie High School hasfollowing young ladies were,
just closed a most successful
year’s work, and the commence
ment exercises, finished Tuesday
night, have been highly enter
taining.
Friday night Miss Davis pre
sented Miss Marjorie Upshaw
in her graduating recital in mu
sic and her skill as a pianist was
a credit to herself and the faith
ful and proficient work of her
teacher.
Miss Upshaw was ably as
sisted in the recital by Miss
Lillian Dake as a reader and
Miss Davis with vdcal selections,
the latcer being acompanied by
Miss Louise Duncan. The even-
jng’s program was greatly en
joyed.
Sunday nfiorn.ing, Rev. J. 0,
Grogan of Opelika, Ala., de
livered the Commencement Ser
mon, and it is needless to sav to
people of this community who
know him, that it was one of the
best commencement sermons de
• livered here in many years.
Monday morning the pupils in
music and expression rendered a
most excelent program, every
number deserving special men
tion, had we the time and space,
but let it sufice to say they
acquitted,themselves ost cred
itably and their teachers, Misses
Davis and Morgan, are to be
congratulated,
Monday evening was the oc
casion of the High S :hool play,
arid as usual was one of the lead'
ing features of the entire com
mencement. This was the oc
casion designated as “pay night”
and a large audience was thor
oughly entertainen with a three
act comedy entitled “A Ken
tucky Belle,”
The Literary address, which
was to have been delivered Tues
day morning by Hon. J. W
Vaughn, of CarterSville, wjas
postponed till night on account
of the train being delayed so
that Mr. Vaughn could not get
here in time, but those who had
the pleasure of hearing him at
night decided it was well worth
waiting for,
Tuesday night’s exercises was
a fitting climax to the series of
well rendered programs. The
Senior Class in' "An Evening
With Tennyson” not only furn
ished real enjoyment for the im
mense gathering, but proved
- their ability in drama by .their
able presentation of “The Fal
