T H E W I T A N Page twenty-nine Commencement January, 1933 honor of being the first class to lie graduated from the audi- ■ -550 torium of the new Charlotte High psiiv School was one which the Class of January. 1933. did not fail to sense and appreciate. For us the joy of l eing in the new building was mingled with and inseparable from the joy of our commence- ment. and in that respect we felt an affinity with every one connected with the school. Music for the program, save the overture and exit march, was provided by members of the class. Carolyn Carroll sang two songs— “An Old Violin, by Fisher, and Down in a Garden Olden. by Jewell. A chorus, com- posed of the girls of the class, sang “Lassie of Mine, by Walt and Indian Dawn, by Zamecnik. Finally Joseph Stendardo sang, in Italian, Toselli’s “Serenata. The scheme of the class essays, of which there were four presented, was liased on a dream-legend from Edgar Wallace’s auto- biography. In the legend an old sage was leaning over the ramparts of heaven and chipping off little pieces of a huge diamond, letting the pieces fall downward onto the earth. And wherever a chip fell some institu- tion for the study of truth was founded a university, a museum, a cathedral for the great diamond was the sum of all Truth. Thus each of our essays represented a ch'p off the diamond of Truth. “The Science of Medicine. ’ by Harrington Chase. The Phantom Script. by Pay Dudley. “Truth Through Tolerance.” by Judith Pow- nall, and “The Meaning of Literature, by Charles LaBelle, were the essays presented. They dealt respectively with medicine, portry. social history and tolerance, and prose litera- ture. Father Alexander J. McCalxr gave the invocation and Mrs. Edwine Danforth, presi- dent of the Board of Fducation, presented the diplomas. There was the usual tlag transfer and induction of memliers into the National Honor Society. The Scholarship Award of the Class of June, 1931, was presented to Gehring Cooper by Katherine Travhcrn.
