with
and small investors, would be the
decision to build the hotel free of
any mortgage or other incumbrance.
This will necessitate the selling of
$214,000.00 in stock locally. The al
ternative plan is to sell not less than
$128.0001)0 in preferred and com
mon stock, with the balance needed
for the completion of the job pro
vided in a mortgage or bond issue
not to exceed $85,000.00. There is
ample money in the community to
easily raise the necessary $214,000.00
board of trustees. Announcements
; were made by President M. W.
, Brown concerning the commence
ment exercises. Special ’music was
furnished by the choir and W. G.
Coker sang “Open, the Gates of The
Temple ”. The faculty and members
of the graduating class occupied re
served seats in the front of the audi
torium.
Dr. Bright chose as his text I Cor
inthians, 6th chapter, verses 19 and
’20, “What? Know ye not that your
!body is the temple of the Holy
Ghost which is in you, which ye
have of God, and ye are not your
