Interesting Commencement Exercises
Held Last Week?The
Graduating Class Consisted
of Ten Young Ladies and One 1
Yonng Man.
The closing exercises of the Union
high school were held Tuesday evening,
May 25. Ten young ladies and
one young man were graduated in the
'917 class. Dr. Lee Davis Lodge of
Limestone college delivered the address
before the class, and quite an
interesting program was carried out
by the members of the class appointed
to perform certain duties. A full report
being as follows:
SALUTATORY.
Lillian Malone.
Dear friends, one and all, in the ?
most impressive way I am to show i
you tonight how absolutely impossible <
it is to welcome friends. My ambi- (
tion to make you feel that you are *
where we delight to have you, casts
upon me a task too stupendous; for 1
my lips cannot frame to speak the un- ^
seen, restless and troublesome hope c
of my heart. Years ago Tennyson ?
expressed it well when he said: c
"I would that my tongue could utter, 1
The thoughts that arise in me." c
The word "welcome" is every man's v
"Shibboleth"; for no man has ever t
said it in such a way that its full s
meaning was conveyed to them whom I
he would welcome. I borrow the F
words of that clever hostess who pro- f
posed the enigma: f
"My first I hope you are;
My second I see you are;
My whole I know you are!" f
For after all our fine words, our h
lofty sentiments, and high sounding h
phrases how much more can we really b
put into this greeting to our friends, d
We hope you are well, we see you are f
come; and we know you are welcome!
To you, dear friends, this may be 1<
indeed a pleasant occasion, for we t1
shall certainly do our best to make it tl
llte||fl|vbut ^.baat^it, will |be siftly,_one n
ment to you, while to us it is and must o
be the climax of all our past experi- a
ences. Tonight we feel that we really s
plant our feet upon the summit of c
the Mount of Vision of which we have o
dreamed and for which we have stead- *
ily climbed! F
We ask then, dear friends, to be c
glad with us and for us, as we enter e
upon the program of the hour, know F
that we are all most earnest in assuring
you of our joy at having you with
us. Know, too, that I, in the warm
inspiration of your presence, am most
sincere in telling you, in the name
of my classmates, how truly glad we j
are that you are here. We hope that r
you may all feel that it has been good ^
to be here with us tonight, and may ^
see in all we do and say some assur- ,
ance of your welcome, even while j
realizing that, as a class we cannot
well ask you to "Come again."
WOMAN'S PART IN THE PRESENT
CRISIS.
Lizzie May Estes.
Never in the history of the world
have woman's opportunities been so
great as at the present. Never have
her responsibilities been such as the
nrncnnf nvioio 11~\ ?*n of c? U^? T ?
|/4vovuv Vt IOIO nil unvo UJJUU liCI. XII
the distant past woman was held in
absolute subjection. She was even
yoked to carts by the side of dogs and
oxen. The pagan idea of woman was
that she was the slave of man, his
inferior; but with Christianity came
the idea that woman is man's equal;
and as never before she has the opportunity
of proving herself worthy
of the place in which Christianity has
placed her. Ths present world crisis
is woman's opportunity. .
Woodrow Wilson, our great President,
has the right conception of national
duty. He appeals to the farm
vii, isaurici, iiierciiuut, miner, railroad
man, housekeeper?one and all to help
in this great conflict. In his broad
idea of conscription his appeals
should come as direct to the women
as to the man who must face the shot
and shell. It is true the woman cannot
go to the front and fight, she cannot
man ships, dig trenches and command
armies, but without going beyond
her own doors she can render
service to the nation which is as real
as that rendered on the field of battle.
Woman can stay at home and send
husband, brothers and sons; she can
do home nursing particularly among
1 the families of wage-earning parents,
where the father has enlisted and
wnere ine motner must provide.
Thousands of women will be compelled
to go out to work if the husband
is called to the defense of his
country. Their children will be left
to themselves unless some patriotic
woman comes in and cares for them.
Woman can encourage the soldiers
at the front by sending them encouraging
and inspiring letters. This is
* I
HIGH SCHOOL
no time to make sad the men at the
front by our tears and waitings, for
conquering navies cannot float in
tears. The soldier cannot do his duty
knowing that at home his loved ones
are sad and lonely because of his absence.
Woman can encourage the development
of the nation's resource. Not
only can she have a garden of her
own but she can teach children to cultivate
vacant lots. She can practice
sonomy. The secretary of agriculture
has issued the following: "Every
woman can render important service
to the nation in its present emergency.
She can help to feed and clothe
>ur armies and help to supply food to
ihose beyond the seas by practicing
jffective thrift in her own houselold."
"Save every ounce" should be
,he slogan of every house-wife.
A very, very effective way the wonan
can help is to go to the front
inder the name of the Red Cross. All
>ver the United States women are
mlisting in this great work. If thpro
s not a Red Cross society in your
:ommunity get to work and organize
>ne, and then give your time and ensrgy
to its support.
The greatest immediate and per>aps
the most important service the
voman can render in the present
:risis is the encouraging of the Libsrty
Bonds. Surely if a negro cook in
tur own State can buy a Liberty
3ond, the women of our Southland
x.uld buy all the bonds that are now
vaiting to be purchased and call for
he government to float others. In a
ermon preached recently by the Rev.
Jewell Dwight Ilillis, in which he
?aid a tribute to our forefathers who
ought five bloody wars in wrenching
rom the hands of tyranny the elornus
freedom we enjoy today, he said, 1
'Not to buy these Liberty Bonds is
or us to be the ignoble sons of no- 1
ile fathers." Just as truly he could '
lelp in the sale and purchase of these 1
onds is for you to be the ignoble '
aughters of noble mothers and '
athers as well."
I appeal to you, women of our be- 1
jved South, in the name of civiliza- J
ion and humanity, in the name of
hose who have gone before us, in the 1
ame of those .who wilL come after us.
f Kings to rally to the posts of duty J
nd do your part so that it may bo
aid of you, "She hath done what she (
ould." When this bloody carnage is .
ver, methinks I see a white dove 1
iringing the message of love and
teace to all the world?when autocra- j
y and monarchy shall have passed

A CIRCUS DREAM.
Perlie Johnson.
Ah, the year has seemed so long,
But now we hear no happy song,
For a lingering sadness gently tells,
That each must soon say a sad farewell.
i
I know that when within each heart,
We see our paths must lie apart,
The golden cord of memories' love,
Will make us hope to meet above.
Each has carved for herself a name,
That leads, we hope, to highest fame,
The circus brings the music gay,
Before me like a mystic spray;
The peacock struts and all do see,
In tha tfowl our sweet Marie.
I
Playing in the tent so true,
I see a kitten with eyes so blue;
? in jr uca I, IUI nine ciaws,
That Pearl has hidden in her paws.
There stands a camel large and strong,
Waiting for those who pass along,
'Tis Gertrude in the same old path,
Who bore us o'er the sands of math.
Behold I see a handsome mule, ?
I Prancing along as if to school,
At once it stops, a fatal time,
Jamima's fault we all do find.
i
Now tripping gayly in the way,
A chattering parrot brightens the day,
So Lillian still the life of the class,
Cheers us daily as we pass.
Next I saw a modest mouse
Moving slowly through the house.
To me the thought came like a dart,
That it was surely Thelma Hart.
Above a roar of lions so loud.
Above the wrangle of the crowd,
I hear the mocking so gay,
Sweet Elizabeth charms the way.

Many monkeys I do spy,
Just like Jennings day by day,
Neglecting better things for play.

A little dove admired by all,
We see beneath the canvass wall,
Reminding us of Lizzie Mae,
Who always walks the better way.
In the last cage I did see,
A tiger as it seemed to me.
But lo! I opened quick the door,
And found our Sadie Barnado.
On a perch pole I did sit, 1
And watch my friends stroll in the
pit; *
Suddenly I gave a howl, i
For I was just a big old owl.

CLASS PROPHECY. 1
Marie Wilburn. '
On a summer afternoon I was sit- '
ting by my desk admiring a beautiful 1
vase of roses that had been placed <
there for a surprise to me. Charmed ]
by their fragrance and beauty, I fell ^
adreaming of happy days gone by and i
looking with blind eyes into the un- j
inown future. j
Of course in thi3 melancholy speli
my thoughts hung in clusters about
my class-mates and school experiences.
When I learned by actual count that
there were eleven roses in the vase,
[ pressed them to my bosom thf* jr
!ruYy tne'^ta^rance anS^Tweetness of |
,he eleven roses made me feel that '
)ur class was meeting by proxy.
Just then >1 noticed a movement <
in the petals of one of the roses *
that I had thought reseimbled our
golden haired and musical Elizabeth 1
Garner. The petals opened wider and '
wider apart. Like a flash there ap- !
peared in the rose a beautiful little '
fairy which said, "You are dreaming 1
of Elizabeth?I am her guardian
spirit and can tell you what the fu- '
ture has in store for her." Because of
her charming manners her suitors are
almost without number. Alas! Cupid
will interfere and her heart will be
won by a tall, slender fellow with
dark eyes and hair who has ever been
near her during her school days."
With a smile and a sigh of content I
dismissed the little fairy for well
could I guess the rest.
I picked up a second rose and out
stepped another fairy. "Ah, tell me,"
I said, "of Gertrude Orr, she who possesses
the 'Math" brain of the class.
The little fairy, without saying a
word, pulled back the curtain of time
for a moment and I saw Gertrude, a
dignified and successful teacher in a
Southern college.
Just a3 I placed this rose into the
vase, another little fairy stealthily
stepped from a bud and signaled me
to be silent. Speechless I stood while
I listened to this bright prophecy?
"Just a few more years shall pass,
and a bride shall come from this your
class." "Pray tell me,".I said, but the
fairy broke in and continued: "Her
name will still be plain, old Pearl, but
then she'll be, a wealthy banker's
girl."
This jingle said, the fairy disappeared
so that another might tell of
Thelma Hart. "Her quiet manners has
fitted her to be a minister's wife and
a minister's wife she will be."
And now from the fifth rose came
another little fairy walking slowly
and indifferently gazing about. "Why,"
said I, "you remind me of the only
boy that is in our class, Jennings Alford.
Can you tell me of him?"
"Yes," she said, "if you could follow
me to a large church, I should show
you there a stately minister in his
robes of dignity pouring forth words
of inspired instructions. He shall
grow more and more hand.some as he
grows older, and more useful as he
grows more handsome and wiser."
The sixth little fairy appeared.
"Of whose future are you going to
tell me?" I asked. "Of your gay
little blue-eyed brother Tom in your
class play," she said. "In seclusion
she will live for a few years ever
growing in sentiment and developing
in soul and mind; hut suddenly she
will come with a hound from her seclusion
like a strong prisoner who
breaks his chains. For a few years
she will watch a world of admirers
laugh and weep as they read her
matchless poems. It sulficeth to say
tnat in the halls of fame will be f
written Perlie Johnson's name." ^
And now appeared the seventh
little fairy which said, "I shall tell
you of Sadie Barnado. She will let
her light shine in the dark corners by
teaching a crowd of little brownskinned,
dark-eyed children in China
who will come daily to be benefited ?"1
by her helpful instructions." wa
The eighth little fairy came forth
and voluntarily told me of the always rf r
happy Lizzie Mae Estes. "If you
could follow me to New York city ten on<
years from today there in front of one
of the large theaters you would see a
Kio < :? ?**- ? ??- ? ?
v...j oik??? miss ja.ii7.aoetn ttstes, The
Famous Young Dancer Here Tonight.'
It is said that she will be a second
Mrs. Vernon Castle." Wl.
Before I could recover from my Pn
surprise the ninth fairy hurled me
through space as it seemed, until I
was standing upon a bloody French
battlefield. "There she goes." "Goes or^
who?" I asked. "Your school mate, '
Lillian Malone, staunching the flow
of blood, binding the wounds and administering
to the needs of mankind.
As you see her now, so will she con- an*
tinue as long as there is need of her ...
smiles and cheering words among the '
stricken soldiers." * r(
I now took up the tenth rose confident
of learning the future of Jamima.
Reluctantly the fairy came
out and handed me a paper from
which I read: "Jamima Wilburn. the
French teacher and stump speaker of '
your class, is soon to become the me
wife of a progressive farmer of
Cedar Hill community, but he will always
progress in the way that Ja- sat'
mima suggests."
"Does that not complete the futures ^ee
of all your class mates of '17?" she s?v
asked. "Yes," I answered," and I c'a1
thank you". "But wait." she said, ^hii
and from the eleventh rose stepped t^1.e
the last little fairy. "Do you not wish
to hear of your own future," she sair. to
"Yes," I replied, "but I was so inter- ^ia
ested in what I had just heard of the ^ee
others I had forgotten myself; but do ren
tell me what my future might be?"

FELICITATIONS
Congratulates Himself and Ally
on Failnre of Entente Offensives?The
British Have Captured
Over 50,000 Prisoners
Since April 1st.
Although Field Marshal von Hln?
denburg and Emperor William assert
that the Anglo-French offensive on
the Western front has failed after
seven weeks of effort, a French official
statement declares that the Germans
lost more than 52,000 prisoners
alone during the French and British
drives against the German lines.
Emperor William writes the German
empress that the fighting in
France has reached a "certain conclusion."
Since April 1, the British
have advanced on a front of 20 miles
from Loos to south of Bullecourt,
to an extreme depth of six miles east
of Arras. Field Marshal Haig's men
have taken Vimy ridge, dominating
the plains to Doual and have virtually
surrounded Lens and St. Quentin
i
anu nave neid their trains against desperate
and repeated German attacks,
while inflicting heavy losses.
In the same time the French have
advanced alontr a 15-mile front north
of the Aisne and seized the heights
dominating the valley of the Ailette
river, the last natural defense before
I.aon. In Champagne the French
troops in intrepid attacks have gained
the heights of Mont Carnillet, the
Casque, the Teton and Mont Haut, to
the east of Rheims. All the French
gains have been held. Repeated attacks
by the German crown prince
against the captured have been made
without avail and he has expended
thousands of lives in fruitless efforts
to regain the lost ground.
More than 1,000 officers were included
in the total of 52,000 prisoners
captured. Enormous quantities
of material were taken from the
Germans, including 446 heavy and
field guns, 1,000 machine guns and
many trench guns.
Emperor William also has conpyitulat^^i^eror^t^arles
on
ridge and have made important advances
on the Carso. The Italians
added to their gains on Friday by
taking Austrian positions on a front
of one and a quarter miles to a depth
of 400 yards south of Castagnavizza
on one of the main roads to Triest.
An advance of 400 yards along a
mile and a quarter front by Italian
troops on the road to Triest, announcement
by the Germans that the.,
had captured a French position 1,000
yards in length northeast of Soissons
and a British air raid on German
bases along the German coast constituted
the chief news developments in
the war theatres Saturday.
Aside from the battle fronts, occuranccs
in Brazil and in Southern Russia
bear important relations to the
war.
Forty-six merchant vessels aggregating
240,779 tons are restored to
the wnrlO'o L~
- .. vu.ijinjf irade a ta time
when they are urgently needed hy a
decree signed Saturday hy President
Braz of Brazil, enabling that country
to make use of the German vessels
now in Brazilian ports.
Thirty-three of the German vessels
are of more than -1.000 tons each
and one is of 12,3.r?0 tons.
This action was the first step taken
hy Brazil after revoking her declaration
of neutrality in the war.
In consequence of Russian royalists
riots in Tiflis, in the Trans-Caucasian
government of Southern Russia,

K ARUM A SUNK BY GERMAN
SUBMARINE NEAR SPAIN
New York, June 4.?The British
freight steamship Karuma of 2,985
tons gross, was torpedoed and sunk
