The commencement exercises be- \
gan Thursday night, when Congressman
Asbury F Lever of Lexing- i
ton delivered an address to the i
school. In his discourse the brilliant 1
young Congressman touched upon 1
the most important - and timely top- s
ics concerning the educational welfare
of the people, especially in the
rural districts. His address was well
c
received by the large audience pres- <
ent.
Friday night the Wee Nee Litera- ,
ry society held its final celebration, ]
when the question of the adoption
of one-cent postage instead of two <
was debated in the affirmative by i
Miss Virginia Wilson and Mr Robert
Fulton, Jr,vvith Miss Belle Hurt and ]

The members of this class pre- .

made by Mr Roy Baker. The gift ,
was gracefully accepted by Prof i
Swittenberg, superintendent of the :.
school. It was the first time in the!,
i
school's history that the graduating
clgss had presented such a valuable f
legacy to it successors.
The key oration was made by Mr
Alex Blakely, who presented the
junior class with a large key which s
he instructed the members meant ^
"work, more work, and still more 1
work." The key was gracefully 1
accepted by Mr Hillis Phillips. c
Mr R N Speigner, County Super- e
intendent of Education, delivered s
the diplomas to the graduating class, t
He congratulated Kingstree on its 1
school and the teachers on the work i
they had done. He urged that the t
people of Kingstree use every op- a
portunity for making the school e
better, so much so that other schools a
would imitate it because of its good s
wooi k. The secret to this success, 1
he said, would lie in the one word, a
co-operation. g
He then told the graduates that t
he hoped these diplomas would not r
be the last they would receive, but S
that they would continue with their j r
studies until they would be the pos- j s
sessors of college diplomas. ' But; b
