rRADUATING EXERCISES
G OF McCRORY HIGH
SCHOOL
An air of expectancy is
always prevalent when com
mencement time draws near.
The close associations for the
nast nine months are soon to
he severed at least for a time.
And among the older pupils
these associations are usually
cherished in memory all
through life. Sometimes the
nor+ nf sr.hnol lifp is
thrnusrn me. oumcumw w.
social part of school life
more beneficial to a boy or
:..i fun thp ar.tiial work, a
more benenciai iu a. uuy ur a
jHrl than the actual work, all
dependent, of course, upon
the character of the social
life.* All the book learning
extant cannot make character
or a happy life. Little unseen
forces are at work in every
school, directing the future
lives of the pupils, ana iorcu
nate for the community where
:hese deeper values of educa
tion are recognized and pro
vided, for.
The closing exercises this
year will be minus the usual
high school graduating class,
r'ince the raising of the re
quirements of the high school
will necessitate additional
work by the present senior
class. However, there still
remains a class of “grad
uates,” after all.. The eighth
grade will this year perform
all the functions of a real
graduating class—except the
idea of having “finished.”
Following is the grogram of
the exercises to be given at
the high school next week:
Wednesday, 8:00 p. m.,
eighth grade graduating ex
ercises; Thursday, 8:00 p. m.,
music recital; Friday, 8:15 p.
m., high school play. The
high school play is the only
feature at which a door fee
will be charged.
