Herald is glad to give publica-
tion to is that Miss Allene Mc-
Murray carried eight subjects
during the entire session thus
doubling the amount of her
school work. Her parents live at

made her home with her aunt,

plan for setlement of the Upper

is to give Poland and Germany,
respectively, the communes that
voted in their favor in the re-
cent plebiscite, but hold the en-
tire territory in control of a spe-
cial commission for 30 years.

POPE APPEALS TO
The graduating exercises on
Monday night, May 23, at the
school auditorium, marked an-
other auspicious epoch in the
•* history of Mart High school,
j The graduates numbered
T. twenty-one—eleven girls and
ten boys—and a brighter group
of young people never graced
the stage on any previous occa-
sion.
Credit for the beautiful and
artistic arrangement of bloom-
ing pci. plant.,, ferns, vases of
carnations and bowls of sweet-
peas in which the Senior colors
of rose and white were revealed,
goes to some thoughtful mem-
bers of the Mart Mothers’ club
who assisted the Seniors in dec-
orating the stage.
An interesting program in
addition to the Annual Literary
Address had been arranged and
was thoroughly enjoyed by the
large and entirely pleased aud-
ience.
Music by Parnell’s Orchestra
at intervals during the evening's
program was quite an enjoyable
feature, and as always is char-
acteristic of them, they fairly
charmed the audience.
The class was indeed fortu-
nate in securing Dr. R. G. Bov/,
ers, pastor of the Columbus St.
Baptist church of Waco, to de-
liver the Annual Literary Ad-
dress which he did so splendid-
ly. He is a very brilliant man.
an able and forceful speaker and
his subject—"Imagination as the
Imperial Faculty of the Human
Soul”—so ably delivered, con-
veyed some very fine thoughts
and principles entirely appro-
' • priate to the occasion. The val-
uable thoughts discussed by Dr.
Bowers will no doubt ever abide
in the minds of the graduates
and will prove very beneficial in
their life tasks as they go out
from high school and probably
home. They will help these
young people to master the ob-
stacles of life, thereby broaden-
ing their capacity for sympathy
and understanding for their'
fellowman and will contribute
in a large measure toward main-
taining noble characters.
The vocal duet—“Who
Knows?" by Misses Lois Guinn
and Ida Mae Phillips, was beau-
tifully rendered as was the high
school male

gram, Johnson and
The latter responded with
encore.
The audience was delighted
with a vocal solo by the visiting
soloist, Mr. Horace Hay of Hills-
boro, who is in Mart to lead the
song services during the Metho-
dist revival. Ho has a wonder-
ful voice and those who heard
him consider him quite a bril-
liant singer.
One of the most important
features of the evening was the
presentation of the diplomas
and scholarships by R?v. C. M.
Dellinger, who after a few ap-
propriate remarks presented
twenty-one diplomas and two
scholarships.

J ’ honors among the girls and
•q his work in Mart is appreciated
by both pupils and parents to
whom he has rendered faithful
service that will prove invalu-
able.
Whatever his decision as to
his future course, he and his es-
timable family will have the
best wishes of their many
friends.
