IXTERBSTIKQ EXERCISES CONI
CLU1NB SUCCESSFUL SESSION
OF CHEBAW
;) RI?H SCHOOL.
) The Cheraw High school held its
closing exercises on Friday evening,
Hay 30th in the presence of a very
large audience. The program was
Irery attractive and greatly enjoyed
by everyone. The graduating class
consisted of seven young ladles and
four young men. This has been one
pf the most successful sessions in
the history of the' school. Despite
the interruptions on account of the
Epidemic of influenxa and some minor
draw backs the progress of the pupils
has been most satisfactory. The
greatest harmony has existed among
the teaching corps. The standard of
* - *
?uo kuoui ib oeing steadily raised. I
In the high school 16.2 units has been'
attained.'
The music department has -done
splendid work this session. MHjb
Long, (the music teacher) is to be
^congratulated on the progress <ft her
pupils.
Cheraw is most fortunate in having
secured Mr. Merchant as superintendent
of her schools. He has the
school system splendidly organized.
The enrollment this year exceeds
the past, there being euro ted this
Session 467 pupils, an increase of 116
over any previous year,
i ' Fallowing was the program presented
:
Invocation by Rev. A. H. McArn.
"ConVmencement March," chorus
by high school girls.
Miss Eleanor Qainey delivered the
Salutatory, as follows:
witn a great deal of pleasure, and
withv some degree of laudable pride,
we welcome you this evening. Your
' presence Is a token of your interest
in the tmembers of this graduating
class in particular, and in all the pupils
of this school in general. We
' feel sure that you are here not to be
entertained, but to encourage us
with your presence, and the pleasure
Is all ours. We are proud that the
citizens of this community have given
us the privilege of at least attempting
to add something to the
sum-total of good that comes to the
community. My class mates, and my
Bschool mates, too, fiom the little first
grade tots up to those who* are eag'
erly waiting to take our places in the
eleventh grade, all join ime in extending
o you a most hearty welcome.
We are delighted that you are here.
For eleven long years our feet have
trod the paths that converge at the
front door of this building. Sometimes
with eagerness and much joy
, we trod them; but many times, Alas!
i when we were conscious of slovenly
I ^preparation for the tasks that awaited
}us, we trod them with reluctant feet.
It is safe to say that while we were
running back and forth along these
paths our minds have been buBy wi'a
other things than our school-house

' the air only to give place to others
' as they have been built of fancy
/prompted by desire or ambition; und
swho will say they were built m vain,
[jeven if they were demolished sometimes
rudely? It is better to have
built and lost than ne'er to have
built at all. An<J we are not through
> building yet. Some of us, have some
splendid castles wrought out of the
' warp and woof of our own ambitions,
> standing yonder in the air just before
May I be penmitted to utter a
i desire that I believe will find a cor.
m responding desire in the heart of
P bvery member of this audience? May
. every high ideal wrought into the ar'
chitecture of these castles in the air
find permanent place in the charac);
ter-building being wrought out by
\ each of us.
L During these years that seemed so
W long as we looked forward to the end,
I but now seem so short as wo look
P back to the beginning, we have been
either consciously or unconsciously
I seeking after something of great 1110pient.
Faithful, and sometimes long
II suffering teachers have very consciously
laboured to bring us to that
after which we were seeking. And
for their encouragement today let me
a say that may be they succeeded bet~
ter than they thought. Whether much
.? or little, we are what we are because
of the. 11. Along this way that we have
| trod together there have been many
day's of depressed hopes, and some-1
times the star that guided us grew
dim and we almost deserted it. But
today, spurred by the zest of this occasion,
and encouraged by the progrPflQ

- ?v v iiiuuv, we aiu i cuuiveu
to follow after learning, and with it
all the good that may come to us
thereby, with a steadier step and a
more perfect aim than ever before.
We realize that we have not come
& to the real end, but to the true beginning
of progress along the line
of education. "A little learning is a
1 dangerous thing." As we stand before
you ou this, to us, auspicious occasion
our castles rise higher and become
bigger and broader, the archi.
tecture Is grander and more perfect,
and we are resolved to strive after
still better things.
Many a time our tasks have been
poorely done and our records have
been correspondingly poor. These
' appear to us as dark spots on the
pages of the history we have been
making. Dut eveiy day brings to
each of us a new unwrit page: as
never before we are resolved that no
blots shall mar the pages that turn
as the days come and come again.
I You have confidence in us becnuse
we have not yet destroyed that confidence
by the desertion of our tasks
or by deeds of dishonor. That confidence
on your part stands between us
and failure. We are ambitious to
justify that confidence. Your -.opes

Then Miss Henrietta Burch read 1
the Class Prophecy, as follows: 1
Being tired after studying late over 1
a hard Physics . lesson I became
sleepy before I had solved half the c

table in weariness 1 dreamed a most 1
peculiar dream. 1 was in a lovely
garden and while wandering along 1
a path I overtook one of the sweet- ^
est and daintleBt little women I had *
ever seen. As she carried a book in (
her hand, I supposed that she, too, 3
had been taking a walk all ulone and '
had been reading some new popular '
novel. 3
"May I walk with you?" she asked.
Of course 1 consented to go with
such a winning little soul as she. f
She smiled as if pleased and said,
"You do not ask my name and us I ^
know yours, I think it only fair that c
you should know mine. I can tell c
you imany thing3 that will deeply d
concern you and which you would 1
like to know. f
1 am a phophetess, and my name s
Is Sibyl. You have read about the de- c
struction of the Sibyline books, of a
course?" 1
1 nodded. n
Well, 1 secretely preserved one or s
these books that 1 was supposed to t
have burned, because of its peculiar i
contents. 1 havo that book in my o
hand now aud I am going to tell you a
the substance of one chapter the title
of which is "The Eleven of 1919."
You inust not make any comments v
and have permission to nsk onlv one v
question?one, mintl you?no more."
The first one of "The Eleven" men- g
tioncii. she continued, is one called 11
Francis Kittrell, at first; but laler
he is known as Doctor Kittrell, for t
this nuinber of your class is going t
to occupy the position as head of the
Chemistry Department of his State
"University, where he will later do s
chemical experiments that will en- r
able h'< 11 to give to his country, and I
the whole woild, improved and new n
methods in the industries where t
chemicals are involved. h
Campbell Laney will some day t
wake up to the idea-that the combin- a
ed knowledge of mathematics and
chemistry and the art of singing
might work admirably together in 1
faitn life. He will think it worth
while to try the experiment for a
year. It will work so well that he i
will prolong the experiment indetl- c
nitely. In ten years from now, if
you should chance to pass by his
faim, you would probably see
A little farm well tilled x
' A little house well tilled i
A little wife well willed. t
"Your musical member has a brilliant
future in store for. her. After
leaving Cheraw High school, Burtice v
Rivers will pursue her studies fur- \
ther by specializing in music. She f
will reach the height of her ambition \
in the position as director of music <i
at Salem College. She will soon find g
however, that a career is not the only t
thing to live for. She ^ill meet her
Ideal in a young violinist and she will
give up her career for a fireside." t
In the political campaign in 1912 d
you need not expect to hear 'votes ?
for women' for you will be given
your suffrage rights before that time, /
but you may expect to hear on ncaily t
every tngue, the name of the woman i
who does so much towards bringing
suffrage to the women of South Caro- a
una. In that year your demure little q
class mate, Eleanor Gainey, will be c
nominated by her party for Governor
of South Carolina,- and she will be I
well fitted for the place after a course i
in law and the expei ience she will
get in her political work. I
"Ruth McPherson is going Jo sue.
ceed Prof. Merchant as Supt. of the r
Cheraw High school, he having ac- ?
cepted the secretaryship of his former
pupil the governor-elect, Elea- c
nor Gainey. Miss McPherson is well t
qualified for this position as she has
been professor of foreign languages I
in the University of South Carolina."
"The lawyer of your class is readl- 1
ly seen in Hen Ann Hickson. She,
too, will begin her life as a college I
graduate, by teaching, but this will
be too dull for Helen Ann. She then <
entered the law office of Mr. R. T.
Caston and later becoming qualified
for the bar, she began her practice
in North Carolina where she soon became
one of the leading lawyers of ,
the SJate. She is spoken of as a possible
candidate for president.
"Jasper, also, will attain the height
for which he is so diligently Btriving.
Same day you will realize the signi. j
ficance of your class when you hear
of the noted Dr. Rrasington who
thrusts aside all honors, coveted by
many of like profession, and goes to 1
be a missionary physician in the j
tropics of Africa. And you may well
be proud of your classmate when <
you haar of the great improvements
in sanitary conditions that he has
made there. But you need not be
surprised to hear that love found its (
way into the deep jungles and the
noted surgeon i. airled t.?? '.aughier
of an American Ambassador who was
once a resident of Cheraw."
One member of your lass will do
a great deal imore for suffering humanity
than she will ever get cicdit
for, but she does not care for a great
name. This is Marie .Treacy, who is
not only well known in the State but
throughout the South as a gieat
social worker."

words that would not offend. Then

Daring the year an eleventh grtfide i
was added but, unfortunately, thtve I
were on pupils to partake of t he 1
offered knowledge. I
This was quite an eventful yeat i
for us, making a fine record in base
ball and also in presenting to the- <
public our literary ability, galneil in I
the Caston Litem,rv Society, wlilch I
was organized when we were in, the I
eighth grade. '
in speaking of our Literary Society,
the town will never forget the? ad- ,
dress that Dr. Sikes delivered at the ,j
inauguration of "Jap" as President. ,
September, 1918, came, and we were
proud of ourselves as being members
of the first eleventh grade in the
histoiy of the Cheraw High school. J
we imagined tills yea - .would Ik* try- |'
ing as we had an entirely new facul-'
ty to face. Our llrat impression of
the new teachers* Professors Mer- ,
chant and Wallace fand Mtss Kibler,
were such that they would not have !
appreciated, but we soon found that
our opinions were wrong.
In Prof. Mcrche&t we saw a man
proud of himself, and when we first,
heard him speak, we though it was.
"Gabriel" blowing his bugle. H?
seemed so lofty that none of us i
could reach his chin* with a ten foot?
pole. We vowQd that he wore theti
latest hair-net to keep his fancy*'
cut pompadour In order.
In Prof. Wallace we saw a nanj
who could be racognized as a lender'
in out-door sports, in the purauit of
iving a ''Ford," flirting *wlth tha
"belles" of the town and telling tit
his bad behavior at college. He assumed
that wo knew half as . ,much
geometry as lie, a compliment lor ns,
we having studied it for two weeks
the year before, and he had rfcieelal- 1
ized on it at college for at It fist six,
rears in all.
And, in Miss Kibler we fo resaw a'
reign of terror and prayed that we
might escape the awful tetpper of
"Kibby." We cried, and witahed
"II. C." and "Cubble" to come hack
and free us from the wrath of ghat
teacher. We recited our. lesson* in
fear and trembling, that part we
have not forgotten. We never doiibt?d
but what she knew everything
there was to know, and if she had
told us, that Ndah said, MI came. I
saw, 1 conquered," we would have
believed her; or, that Jacob apvnt
the night in Cheraw with Mr. R. T.
Caston after he had killed Goltsth,
we would have believed her? or, that I
Patrick Henry was President after fl
Washington," we would have believ-1
ed her, such was our admiration of*
the knowledge displayed beneath her
downing glory. 1
After speaking of our teachers, we> jj
are not going to fail to mention our-yi

started.

It must keep the coal men of

We've noticed that very few (
raw women criticise the judgnien

living in hope that a way will be
covered before they die wher
they can take their money along v
them.
