11 GRADUATES
AT STATE HOME
Mrs. Geo. E.
Jester's
Sunday School
Class
Sent Flowers
The graduating
exercises at the
State Home last
night were highly
creditable in
every way. The class consisted,
of ten girls and
one young man
as follows: Misses
Mable Craig, Bernice
Pitts, Helen
Jones, Virginia Barrett,
Ruby Pierce,
Catherine Owens,
Daisy Owens, Jewel
Birchfield, Letha
Franks and Zana
Bohannon and Mil-
ton Pitts.
The program tor
the occasion was
well arranged and
splendidly carried
out on the part of
the young people
particularly. Mrs.
George E. Jester's
Sunday School
class sent a profusion
of flowers that
not only the class but
the school and the
audience enjoyed,
and for which the
recipients expressed
the highest
appreciation. Judge
Corley's address
was practical, eloquent
at times and
unquestionably
made a lasting
impression on the grad-
uates, besides
holding the closest at-
tention of all
present. Hon. Dexter
Hamilton
introduced the speaker.
Mr. J. S.
Callicutt was unavoidably
absent and the
duty of presenting the
diplomas to the
graduates fell upon
Mr. Watson,
principal of the Orphan
Home school.
An especially
pleasant feature of
the entire
commencement week is the
fact that about fifty former inmates
of the Home have been guests of the
Home during that time.
The band, under
Joel Trimble's di-
rection,
entertained with a band con-
cert on the campus
before the hour
for the
commencement exercises had
arrived.
