sembled on the stage and with sadness and heavy hearts sang their beautiful farewell ode. ’'Dear class, dear friends. We hate to say farewell; Every heart is heavy today, The world outside on this our class is calling, And our class is going away. The juniors then picked up the daisy chain and the seniors marched slowly out, sing- ing for the last time as pupils their beloved Alma Mater. GRADUATION EXERCISES On Wednesday, May 29, the Commencement Day exercises for the Walterboro High School were held. The Senior Class has accomplished many things, and has made the parents and school proud of it. The program was very full due to the various subjects, including the many awards. Mr. Hope, State Superintendent of Education, delivered a very excellent address. It is felt that not only the Seniors, but also the public who heard this splendid speech, will profit by it and practice some of the suggestions. This was a night for every Senior to remember forever. Some may think that a high school career is very easy to accomplish; but those who have graduated realize all the hardships one has to overcome, and all the effort one has to exert before reaching the winning goal. After a student has advanced this much, it is truly a great period in his life; but it is only a stepping stone to the higher and nobler experiences of succeeding years. The Seniors presented a very pleasing spectacle as they marched down the aisle of the grammar school auditorium in their caps and gowns. They fulfilled their title of Seniors, as they were very dignified and serious. They must have realized that this was the changing point in their lives when they must decide for the future. Many prizes were awarded, which showed that the students of Walterboro High School had taken an interest in the essay contests and other prizes offered to them each year. The Citizenship Medal is one which the winner should be proud of, as it is one of the highest honors awarded to a high school student. The tennis medals were also given. Athletics must always be a main feature in high school work. The merit letters, honor certificates and attendance certificates were presented. Mr. Ward awarded the diplomas to the seniors, who seemed to be very anxious for them; but deep in their hearts there must have been a heartache when leaving their dear old high school never to return to it as active members.
