Class ring: have been secured, invitations order. ed, and all that is left to do is pas: .the last examination, and receive th long-loked-for diploma. The student body has been enter tamed this year by programs by the different grades. They have been es pecially fine since the opening 0 spring. Some of the best render< lately were by Miss Sarah Keith of the tenth grade in a paper on the Immancipation Proclamation; read ings by little Miss Gravely and Miss Kitty Smith. They have been great sources of inspiration to all hearers. The only damper to lessen the spirit of th e school at the present is the possibility of school having to close on account of insullicient. funds to run on. Unless the patrons come to the rescue with liberal donations, it is possible that school will have to else. 'This will necessitate the con tinuation of the chlidren ' in their present grades next year for a period of two months. It is hoped that sonme wvay wvill be found to meet this dlifhculty.--How plain is the fact that something needs to be (lone for Pick ens High School.
