JEAN WICHMAN, Class Lawyer. BACCALAUREATE SERMON Dr. D. M. Douglas, President of the University of South Carolina, delivered the Baccalaureate Sermon Sunday, May 26. His talk was both inspirational and interesting. He selected the seventeenth chapter of St. John, using the following verse: I have glorified Thee on earth; I have finished the work which Thou gavest Me to do.” Each year one church of the town selects the speaker for the sermon to the graduating class of Walterboro High School.

This he obediently did, starting from the beginning of their high school days. As those who had starred on the athletic field were mentioned they appeared for a moment in their ancient, battle-scarred uniforms, and the thrills of bygone games lived again for a moment, then faded back into the tender land of memory. A large dirigible in the shape of a huge diploma was lowered and the class mascot, representing New Life,” stepped to the front of the stage with a message, which was read by the class prophet. The diploma was unfolded and the class prophecy read by Father Time, as each person was mentioned they appeared in the background dressed as the characters the future was supposed to hold in store for them. The class lawyer then read the last will and testament. All the outgoing class as-
