The Walhalla Graded Schools olosed their fourth annual session last Friday, April 27th. Public exercises were held in the morning at ll o'clock ia the Lu theran chinch. The sermoo was preached hy the Kev. W. M. Duncan, pastor of the Buncombe Street Methodist oburoh, Groenvillo. His subject was "Self saorifioe," or "He who would be first in the kingdom of heaven let him become leant among men." His dis com HO was forcible, logical, and interest ing from the beginning and the entire audience was held in rapt attention throughout the entire service He was assisted by Dr. John G; Law and Rev. H. C. Grossman, who, in a few well ohoaen words, weloomed and introduced Mr. Duncan to the large congregation pres ent, due, no doubt, to the fact that the stores had all closed for the occasion. Suitable music wai rendered by members from all the choirs in the town which made a material addition to the impres siveness of tbe serv ice. At half past 8 o'olook in the evening the exercises of the graduating olass were held in the Court House. After the ushers, Messrs. Fred Thode and Lee Gaillard, had seated the audi ence in all available seats and found comfortable standing room for many who oame too late to get seats, the chairs, arranged on the stage in a semi circle, were Siled by the graduating class, Rev. H. C. Grossman, pastor of the Lutheran church, Mr. C. E. Gaillard, Trustee of the Graded Schools, Dr. J. H. Moore and Major S. P. Dendy, the two remaining members, being unavoidably absent, Dr. Henry Louis Smith, President of Davidson College, and Prof. David F. Nioholson, Superintendent of the Graded Schools. It was a boautiful and impressive sight as the eight members of the graduating class, the young ladios ail dressed in whito, marched in siugle file down the aisle and took their places on tho ros trum. Tho Superintendent made a briof re port io which he called attention to a few important points in school work. Among other things he said: Accurato scholarship will as necessarily follow strict discipline and perfect punctuality as the night naturally follows the day. Not ono single tardy mark was against the graduating class for the entire four years of their High Sohool course. Tbore was not a single tardy roark made by any pupil from the second to tho tenth grade inclusive duriug tbe ses sion of eight months just coming to a close. A more detailed report will be published later. The names of the graduating olass, to gether with their essays, are as follows: Miss Gertrude Blemann-Brutus or Cassius. Miss Helen Fant-Hamlet, the Hero. Miss Mamie Harrison-Mark Authony, the Friend of Caesar. Lewis Harrison-Education. Charles , Holden-Twentieth Contury Ideals. Miss Olive Max' ji.-Rosalind and Celia. Miss Anna Stribliug - The Effect of the Italian Renaissance ou English Litera ture. Miss Frances Stribliug-A Brief Dis cussion of Mathematics and its Impor tance. These essays were not written to be read as graduating theses, but were, pre sented at the school as a part of the regular course in Euglish Literature. Despite the shortness of time for their t?reparation they were uniformly excel eut and reflected the minds of thought ful aud painstaking students. At the conclusion of the essay reading Dr. Henry Louis Smith, the brilliant President of Davidson Colloge delivered the annual literary address to the gradu ating olass. His plea for the old ideals of the South was the most eloquent speech, the. one eloquent address heard in Walhalla for many years. Though laboring under the difficulty of speaking duriug a down pour of rain, ho none the loss captured his hearers in bis opening sent euee, and hold thom willing capt i ves throughout his add ress and on to the end. He enco'.irugcd the young to be success ful in this ago of tho South's wonderful material dovolopmont, but admonished thom to cling to tho beautiful aud saored traditions, tho good old days of man's chivalric devotion to womanhood aud love for tho holy Sabbath. Dr. Smith is a scholarly gentleman and a Christian educator of tho highest type, and the poople of Walhalla were particular for tunato in recuring his services through tho efforts of the Superintendent of our schools. At tho eloso of the address tho cer tificates of graduation wero presouted by Superintendent David F. Nicholson, as Major S. P. Dendy, tho Chairman of tho School Hoard, was not able to bo prosent, alter which tho 1 ie ned iet ion was pro nounced by Rov. ll. C. Grossman and tho friends shook hands and congratulated, sumo with smiles, others with tours, tho tenth grade, whoso course with our schools is ended, but whoso influoncoand usefulness iii lifo, we trust, has just begun, and whoso hearty co-operation will ovor hu a putout factor in our midst, and then tho good-byes wero said and tho first chapter, which. Was begun four years ago, was ended.
