STATE HOME SCHOOL

COMMENCECENT SERMON YESTERDAY AND CLASS PLAY TONIGHT.

The annual commencement of the school at the State Orphan Home began at 11 o’clock yesterday morning with a sermon aby Rev. Charles Oberschmidt of Corsicana. Besides the officers and teachers of the Home and the big crowd of children, there were a large number of visitors in the congregation. Among the latter were a number of young men and women who were reared in the Home and are there now for their annual home-coming, and also a number of Corsicana people and people from the surrounding country.

Tonight the High School Class play is to be staged and the public is cordially invited and many will no doubt attend.

The following are the graduates from the High school this year: Miss Emily Turner, Miss Willie Lee Waters, Miss Amma Dawson, Miss Annie Coogle, Miss Wanneta Jones, Miss Myrtle Wilson, Miss Ella Howell, Miss Maude Fuqua and John Owen. Misses Turner and Waters, the two first named, will also graduate in music.
