R. ed?The Interest The Kingstree High and Graded school closed its 1913-14 session with appropriate exercises at the school auditorium Monday night before a capacity audience. So far as actual class work was concerned, faculty and pupils laid aside text-books Friday morning, when the final examinations were brought to a finish, and immediately launched into the exercises that were to mark the closing of another successful session. An interesting and instructive programme had been arranged and each teacher and pupil who had been j selected to contribute to the entertainment of the public was ready for the work and seemed to go into ' it with a whole-heartedness that mAW/1 AITAtH T Ana /vf fKom I IUUSL CUII1I1ICIIU C1C11 UliL Ul MK.U1 I most heartily to the large audiences j that attended their finals. Appar| ently there was not a hitch in the programme of exercises from start ; to finish, and to say that every recital, s?mg or piano selection was not heartily enjoyed and appreciated would be to call down upon ourselves the just and severest criticism of all who took part or attended and ! listened with such profound interest i that at the close it elicited an expression of appreciative thanks from | the superintendent, Prof Switten-1 berg. We believe that the patrons j of the school, the board of trustees ! and the community at large have just experienced another occasion in the history of their school wherein they have the right to feel a keener sense of interest and pride than ever 1? ? ~ f'hA at ueiurt*. rvuu.juukui^ num uic throng that filled the auditorium Monday night and witnessed the, graduation of eight charming young ladies and two splendid young men. j we fully believe they do, and that this interest will be unswerving. WEE NEE LITERARY SOCIETY. There can be no more useful or beneficial factor in a school than its, literary society. The Wee Nee Literary society of the Kingstree High , school was organized during the fall j term in 1906 and ever since has i largely contributed to the high moral | and intellectual status of the school. The officers of the society during the session just closed were: Miss Rubie j Thorn, president; McBride McFad- j den,vice president; Miss Leora Gam-1 ble, treasurer; Miss Fannie Vause, j secretary; Miss Emma Brockinton,; literary editor; Heyward Brockin- j ton, critic. Throughout the session ' the society has been in a flourishing condition, as is well evidenced by the j excellent papers read and the able arguments in debate at its eighth annual public meeting last Friday evening. It has provided the members with a wider scope of useful information and given themavalua-i ble insight into many important problems as they arose from time to ; time during the past nine months. The following is the programme of the exercises as carried out at the society's public meeting in the school auditorium Friday night: itOCRAMMK.

THE BACCALAUREATE SERMON. At 10 o'clock Sunday morning be-! gan an interesting programme of j closing exercises of the Kingstree High school,when Rev W E Thayer, ja Baptist minister of Chester,preach-_ IE MARKS THE ! E KINGSTREE SCHOOLj nd Beautiful Com: Exercises. i "?Ten Pupils Are Graduating Programme. ed the baccalaureate sermon. The spacious auditorium was filled to its capacity with an interested audience, and all present seemed to have been delighted with the message from the gifted divine. The services were opened by the singing of the Doxology, after which Rev D A Phillips offered an appropriate prayer. Following this Rev W E Hurt read the Scriptural lesson from the 11th and 12th chapters of Hebrews, which formed the nucleus of the sermon that followed the singing of a hymn by the audience. Special music, under the direction of the accomplished teacher, Miss Estelle Campbell, was beautifully rendered by a choir composed of Misses Selma and Rubie Thorn, Elma Hinds and Mrs L W Gilland; u d XT o?: u..~u VT iuesaia i\ opciguci, uugu Hitvukchen, P H Stoll and Percy Hutson. A violin solo by Mr David Silverman, with piano accompaniment by Miss Campbell, was sweetly rendered and especially enjoyed by all music lovers present. Mr Thayer's sermon was an able exposition and perhaps one of the most appropriate discourses of its kind ever heard in Kingstree. The preacher's subject was "The Successful Race," and he took his 'text from Herews, Chapter 12, verse 1: "Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us. and let us run with patience the race that is set before us." With a flow of beautiful rhetoric, so simple that the least school child could easily understand, the speaker held his hearers spell-bound, as he applied the words of his text to the Atrnrvrlou nrnKlDmc ujKl'nh hpQpf young men and young women ofttimes, when they go out into the world to take up the responsibilities of life. The speaker illustrated his discourse by likening the young graduates to the great athletes of ancient times, when it was customary for them to practice for their running and jumping events with weights in their hands or cumbersome robes about their bodies.which thev would throw off when they entered the arena for the great prize contest, that their bodies might be lightened and their agility increased. Mr Thayer sub-divided his subject into three headings: "Inspiration," "Preparation", and "Aspiration," which were essentials to success in the great race of life. "And make straight paths for your feet lest that which is lame be turned out of the way; follow peace with all men and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord," he said in closing. At 8:30 o'clock Sunday evening Mr Thayer preached to a large audience in the Baptist church, taking his text from the sixth chapter of St Luke. Again his hearers listened with the closest interest to a powerful discourse of the truths set forth in the text. MUSIC RECITAL MONDAY MORNING. For some time it was expected that Congressman Lever would address the school Monday mormng, but at a late hour word was received from the Congressman stating that he would be unable to keep his engagement, so the faculty arranged for a music recital by the pupils at 10 o'clock Monday morning, and a highly enjoyable programme was carried out. GRADUATING EXERCISES. The one time in each of their lives that had been looked forward to with anxious hearts, through a period of ten long, weary years had at last arrived, and on this beautiful Monday night in May ten pupils, splendid looking specimens of Kingstree's youth, sat upon the rostrum facing an audience of six hundred or more people, who had gathered in (Continued on page five.)
