COMMENCEMENT EXERCISES OF
THE McCRORY COLORED SCHOOL
The McCrory Colored School
will have its closing exercises
Oct. 22, 1915 at the St. John
Baptist Church. The school
closed Sept. 24, but because of
the revivals being held at the
churches at that time, the exer
cises were deferred until after
the revivals closed.
The pupils may not be pre
pared to render the program in
tended at the close of school as
well now as when school closed,
because they have been away
from school without the care and
practice of a teacher, but we
hope to interest you in the effort
put forth to improve the condi
tions of the school. To help this
cause, we will charge an admis
sion of 15 cents to all who attend.
We have planned to raise
$150.00 to purchase desks and
other necessary equipment for
the school of which we have
#108.50 already pledged and
which we hope to soon collect.
We invite one and all to come
and help us and see us make a
start for a higher standard of
citizenship.
