COMMENCEMENT WEEK

_______________

The Class of '14 of the Leon High School Graduates Next Week.
Twenty-five Graduates.

_______________

The commencement exercises of the Class of '14 of the Leon High School, will be held at the opera house on Friday evening, May 22nd. The Class of '14 is one of the largest which has ever graduated from the Leon High School, twenty-five in number, and there being twelve young ladies and thirteen young gentlemen in the class.

The class presented on Wednesday and Friday evenings of last week, two class plays, "The Senior," on Wednesday evening, and "Mrs. Compton's Manager" on Friday evening, the entire graduating class appearing in the two plays, which were presented in splendid shape, reflecting credit on the ability of the cast. The plays drew capacity houses, every seat in the opera house being sold out and the total receipts for the two nights amounted to $241.65. There was considerable expense attached to the production of the plays, but a neat sum will be realized for the class to apply on the purchase of a stereopticon, which the graduating class intends to present to the schools. The plays were presented under the direction of Mrs. Marion E. Wasson, whose ability as a director are too well known to need any words of commendation.

Class Day will be observed at the High School building on Friday afternoon, May 22nd, at 2 o'clock, when the following program will be given:

Music.

Two More Teachers Elected.

Elected One More Teacher.

_______________


The Leon school board last week elected one more teacher for next year, Miss Nellie Mullins, who has been one of the efficient teachers in our school the past year. It is thought that the board will complete the work of electing the balance of the teachers in the near future, but it seems to be pretty slow work.
