Bowden Sets Prices on
commencement features and social
functions given by the Juniors and
Seniors, under the direction of Mrs.
Herschel Nash, which for brilliance,
rivaled similar affairs of the more ad-
vanced colleges and universities.
The first feature of the program was
the play given by the graduating class I
assisted by the members of the facul-
ty. The title of the play was: "The
Turn of the Tide,” and it was declared
to be a success by those who saw it.
Sunday night, Dr. A. W. Hall preach-
ed the graduating sermon. It is Dr.
Hall's habit to preach good sermons,
but those who heard him Sunday night
without exception, say he never preach-
ed a better one than he did on that oc-
casion and characterise it with that
word of high praise, “great."
Monday night was the occasion for
the class exercises and for an address
by our popular Congressman, Fritz
G. Lanham. A large crowd was out
to hear the program of the class and
to listen to the brilliant speech of Mr.
Lanham, Needless to say there was no
disappointment for the audience. It
was a splendid program, well carried
out from beginning to end. Mr. Lan-
ham presented the diplomas. The fol-
lowing was the program:
Special Music—Mary Ruth Hutche-
son.
Welcome Address—Foy Hall.
Gypsy Fortune Telling—era Ellen
Denney.
Address—Hon. Fritz G. Lanham.
Farewell to Seniors—Junior Class.
Senior Response—Thelma Hutche-
son.
Class Will—Fred Bosworth.
Junior Resolutions—Junior Presi-
dent.
The Senior’s Eulogy—Billie Beard.
Presentation of diplomas.
Class Song.
At the close of the exercises Mon-
day night a banquet was given by the
Junior rlass at the home of G. I.,. Young
at which the Senior class, Fritz G.
Lanham. Mr. and Mrs. Herschel Nash |
and a few others were guests. The I
house was beautifully decorated for
the occasion and an elaborate supper
served. There were toasts and speech-
es by the Juniors and Seniors and of
course a short talk by Mr. Lanham.
The graduating class was very small
this year, there being only five, as fol-
lows: Foy Hall, Fred Bos worth,.Thel-
ma Hutcheson and Ben Stanfield. The
extreme shortage in the number of
graduates this year promises to be
made up next year, as there are over
twenty juniors who will be in the grad-
uating class of next year.
