Sat they don’t know the words of the precious old thing.
The commencement exorcises of our
Sinton schools began last Friday night
with a class play, “Claims Allowed,”
which was well attended by a large
and appreciative audienco. The play
was patriotic, and in keeping with the
times, and exemplified a great lesson
in loyalty to the audience in addition
to the entertainment- feature: The
parts were acted by the pupils with
a spap and vim seldom seen in a high
school play, and their make-ups were,
good and showed that thdee who
stage the production were familiar
with the work and uad spent much
time on this effort.
The Glee jpiub and Orchestra greatly
contributed to the evening with song
and music between acts. *
Those taking part in the play were:
Prof. Bell, Drew Gillespie, Dale Long,
Robert Easton, Paul Cox, George Neal,
Ted Knox, Edgar Bonorden, Mary
Stevens, Ethel Bonqraen, Jennie Ben-
son, Marguerite Yeates, Alice Cox,
Veda Phillips, and Beatrice Hair.
The proceeds, after the expenses
were paid, were turned over to the
local Red.'Cross.
Sunday evening the baccalaureate
sermon was preached at the Baptist
church by the pastor, J. C. Rhodes,
who gave a masterful address to the
large audience assembled. Appropri-
ate music was rendered by the choir
trained for the occasion.
Monday night the commencement
week program was concluded with the
commencement exercises at the school
auditorium. A large audience of
friends and relatives assembled early,’
and at the proper time the faculty,
school board and speakers took their
places on the platform, and immedi-
ately- the graduating ’class, composed
of Ethel Bonorden, Jennie Benson,
Drew Gillespie and Dale Long, march-
ed up the isle and took their places.
The following program was carried
out after prayer by Rev A. T. White:
• The Glee Club, rendered a double
number and as usual, received a storm
of applause; Ethel Bonorden gave the
salutatory address in a way that

Hark’ The “twilight’s last gleaming” has some of them ^topped.
Bat the valiant survivors press forward serenely
To “the ramparts we watched,” where some others are dropped
And the loss of the leaders is manifest keenly. ;
Then “the rockets’ red glare” give the bravest a scare,
And there’s few left to face the “bombs bursting in air”—
Tis a thin line of heroes that manage to save
The last of the verse and “the homet of the brave.”
v 1. We have today received the fol-
lowing telegram from Major John C.
Towns, Jr., Supervisor of tjie Selec-
tive Service Law in Texas, and re-
quest that you give it the widest pub-
licity.
“We have today received a tele-
gram from General Crowder announc-
ing that Congress has passed the Act
providing for the registration of men
who have become twenty-one years
of age since June 5th, last, and fur-
ther advising that a proclamation by
the President will be issued shortly,
naming June 5th, 1918, as the day of
registration. General Crowder re-
quests that the widest publicity be
given to the fact that all men who
have attained the age of twenty-one
since June 5th, 19lY, will be required
to register on the day mentioned, and
you are requested personally to see
that each local newspaper in your
county publisher the fact. The press
can assist us very materially in noti-
fying each young manf^who is sub-
ject to registration and I feel sure
that the press will co-operate with us
to the fullest extent.”
2. The Registration will be under
the supervision of the Local Exem-
ption Board of San Patricio County,
which Board has estblished registra-
tion places at Sinton, Aransas Pass
and Mathis.
3. All young men who have become
21 since June 5th, T917, are urgently
requested to appear for registration
on June 5th,. 1918, at the nearest des-
ignated place above named.—Local
Board, San Patricio County.

dents evbr turned out by the Sinton
High School; class history by Drew
Gillespie was good, and gave a com-
plete history of the class from the
time the different members entered
school in the primary grade. Drew
was a decided favorite in the school,
and holds one of the best athletic
records in the Sinton schools; his
grades in all branches of the school
were kept up to a high standard.
Miss Geneva Cropper rendered a vo-
cal solo, which was wrell received.
Miss. Cropper has a beautiful voice,
and is a pleasing singer.
Jennie Benson gave the class proph-
esy in a very original manner. The
prophesy showed Ethel Bonorden as
being a worker in womens’ clubs, of
national fame; Drew Gillespie w'as a
military hero; Dale was shown as a
college president of^ national fame.
She ’closed the prophesy by saying
she would have to hurry and "get din-
ner, showing that she was the house-
keeper.
Dale Long, valadictor^n, made a
very pleasing oration which showed
that he had gotten what he had gone-
] after—an education, so liar as our
1 schools gp.
Judge M. A. Childers gave the class
address. The Judge made a Red Cross
and" war speech and adapted it. to the
occasion in a splendid manner—in fact
it was one of the best and timely class
i addresses we have ever heard.
| A. J. Lewis, president of the school
board, presented the diplomas to the
class with a short, appropriate speech,
after which the benediction was pro-
nounced by Rev. C. S. Long.
The class of L918 is an especially
strong one, of which the patrons of
the school have a right to be proud. .

THE GREAT WAR
Milicent Haisley (8th grade)
Marked the beastly soldiers’ path.
The summer breeze was blowing
On a sunny August day
When suddenly Kaiser Wilhelm
In hte palace far away,
Decided that the world was tired
: Of having peace so long,
And TKht he, himself, would rule it
With his armies, big and strong. /„
Innocent Little Belgium
Was the first to feel his wrath,
And torture, blood and anguish *
As through its lands they hurried
To the homes of France so fair
To carry out their wicked plans
Of crime and slaughter there.

He then insulted OLD GLORY—
The Flag of the U. S. A.,
Then President Wilson he joined in
To have his “little say?’
And when Uncle Samuel’s boys are
througn,
Old Bill will no more sin,
For he’ll eat shot at sunrise.
When they march into Berlin.

HELP THE BOYS
Cuero, Tex., May 20.—Sheriff John
N. Pace made a raid on the pool rooms
and other loafing places here this
morning and rounded up thirty idlers,
whom he took to the court house and
turned oVer to farmers who, were hunt-
ing for labor.
No charges were filed against the
idlers, but they were told that if they
appear on the streets of Cuero before
Saturday noon, charges will be filed
and they will be summarily dealt with
Mr. Pace expects to get busy among
| the women idlers also and will drag
I his net every day during the week, as
i long as the busy times continue on the
farms.—San Antonio Express
Before introducing Lieutenant de
Tessan, aid to General Joffre, and
Colonel Fabry, the "Blue Devil of
France,” Chairman Spencer, of the St.
Louis entertainment committee, at the
M A. A. breakfast, told this anecdote:
“In Washington, Lieutenant de Tes-
san was approached by a pretty Amer-
ican girl, who said:
“ ‘And did you kill a German sol-
dier?’
“‘Yes,’ he replied.
“ ‘With what hand did you do it?’
she inquired. ! C" '
“ ‘With this right hand,’ he said.
“And then the pretty American girl
seized his right hand and kissed it.
Colonel Fabry stood near by. He
strolled over and said to Lieutenant
de Tessan: f
“ ‘Heavens, man, why didn’t you tell
her that you bit him to death.’ ”—Kan-
sas City Star. .
