SPINDALE SCHOOLCLOSES GOOD YEAR

Dr. Little Delivers Baccalau-reate Sermon ?Declamation

and Recitation Contests.Honor Roll.

The fifth Annual Commence-ment exercises of the Spindale

school, held June 4-sth, closed one

of the most successful school terms

possibly ever held here. During the

year Prof. B. L. Smith and an able

corps of teachers have labored hardand faithfully to make it a good year.

The results of this were seen in the

large attendance, co-operation of the

parents and the high class of woik

done by the students.

The commencement exercises open-

ed Thursday everyng with the play,

"An Old-Fashioned Mother," given

by students of the high school, be-

fore a well filled house. The actors

acquitted themselves well, showing

excellent training. Miss Flora Hill,

of the Senior class, took the lead,

playing the part of the old-fashionedmother. Supporting her in the lead

were Misses Ora Crenshaw, Dora Led-

better and Bentha Beam. Mack Hill

as "Jerry," the country lad, fur-

nished the comical side. Playing the

various other parts were Misses Ruth

Ellis and Orrah Lee Hill, Johnny

Yelton, Claude Reid, James Griffin,

George Grayson, Pink Nanney and

members of the choir.

vis.Class Day Exercises

Dr. Luther Little, pastor of the

First Baptist church,. Charlotte, de-livered the commencement addressat the graduating exercises Fridayevening in the auditorium of the Bap-

tist church. Captain B. L. Smith, su-perintendent of the school, was incharge of the exercises. The threeyoung ladies who were given diplo-

mas and certificates of graduationtook part as follows: Miss GraceEllington, class history; Miss FloraHill, class prophecy; Miss Ora Cren-shaw, valedictory. This is Spindale'ssecond graduating class.

A feature of the program was asolo by Mr. Earl Rasor, of Charlotte,

whom Dr. Little introduced as theSouth's greatest tenor.

Dr. Little's sermon was a master-

piece. He is a polished, attractivespeaker. His message, delivered withgreat earnestness, will long be re-membered and talked of in thistown. Taking as his subject "TheThree Gardens," Dr. Little said inpart: "God's ideal dwelling place isin a garden. The three most strate-gic events in all history have takenplace in a garden. The world's tragicfall took place in the Garden ofEden. The greatest service ever ren-dered to humanity was in Gethse-mane where human suffering reachedits greatest climax, where sacrificefound its fairest form. In the gar-

(den of Joseph's tomb Jesus was rais-!ed from the dead,

i "Every life passes through thesethree gardens, if it is lived to any end

'or aim. First, childhood and youthiis the Eden of life. Here we have

: a greater degree of innocence thanj comes on later in life. This, too, is

I the period of implicit trust and con-fidence, of freedom from corrodingcare that breaks the heart. In child-hood andi youth there is no conscious-ness of real sin. Men and women are

j embarrassed by consciousness of theirown foibles and faults; children cancome boldly and bravely. In child-

> hood, life's experiences are coveredI with a halo. Malice is not bornei longer than a day. Imagination given

j full play lays foundations for to-

i morrow's deeds."Manhood and womanhood is the

Gethsemane of life. All that is out-side of Eden is inside of Gethsemane.In that place you are to make sacri-fices for the good of the world. Youare to serve humanity even to thepoint of self-sacrifice.

"The garden of Joseph's tomb,where Christ overcame his greatestbarrier, demonstrates that when bar-riers get in the way there is some-thing to get them out of the way.'Where there's a will there's a way.'By solving problems you win the di- 1ploma of conquest.

"There is still a fourth garden, thegarden of the future, the garden ofthe New Jerusalem, the garden ofglory. This is the eternal Eden, 'God's heaven, the garden of God."

The Spindale Band was presentand l played several appropriate selec- jtions during the evening.

Excellency In Spelling.Friday afternoon Capt. B. L. Smith

awarded certificates of honor toMisses Ora Crenshaw, Gladys Grif-fin and Leona Devinney for excel-lency in spelling. Neither of theseyoung ladies missed a word in spell-ing during the entire term.

"Just Off the Pike"

YOUR SOLEFor health's sake you do not wear shoes worn through in the

soles. That is economy?because wet feet and illness may fol-

low.

Buying a new pair of shoes at such times, however, is not prac-

ticing economy. Usually it is thoughtless extravagance.

Shoe repairing has been developed into an art ?made neces-

sary by the high price of shoes.

Many well-to-do folks now have their shoes repaired or rebuilt

at the first signs of wear. As a result they get value received

for their shoe investments.
