BLOOMING GROVE NEWS (Blooming Grove Times) School Closing Finals are taking place at the public school this week. It is a great epoch in the history of any school. It means driving right up to the destination, insofar as the school is concerned, and it means brushing the curtains aside and looking over the hills and across the valley and out onto a mighty scope of prairie, broken at intervals with the things which make life real. It means saying good-bye to the boys and girls who, with you, are taking a diploma, and it means going to college or to work, it means going up the ladder, step by step to fame, or it means a negative life tossed about by the shifting winds. Young folks whether going to college or to school, go with a purpose. Friday night of this week the graduation exercises proper take place at the school auditorium with thirteen graduates, their names appearing under another item. W. H. Moore, of the Fort Worth public schools, will be the principal speakers in delivering the diplomas. The piano pupils of Miss Smith will give two recitals—one Monday evening, the other Tuesday evening, at the Auditorium, beginning at 8 o’clock. Thursday night, June 4, the senior play takes place at the school auditorium. The title of the play is, “When Jane Takes a Hand.” Friday, June 5, the books are invoiced and stacked, the pupils with their dinner buckets (?) and hats bid the old school house farewell for a brief season. The commencement sermon was preached at the Methodist church last Sunday morning by Mr. McDermit. It was a fine address and all the other churches gave way so their congregations could witness the program. Following is a list of the graduates: G. E. Ramsey, Jr., J. E. Walker, Jr., Rex Smith, Frank Cole, Misses Nell Martin, Lois McClure, Cornelia Campbell, Cora Lee George, Mabel Treadaway, Mary Ellen Henderson, Messrs. Seth Ward Henderson, Elmer Robinson, Houston Frederick.   Notes: The Corsicana Daily Sun - Wednesday, June 03, 1925 Submitted by Diane Richards
