The four months’ session of the Hollis high school came to a close Friday, March 24, with appropriate exercises. A two months’ school will be taught later in the summer.
The address was delivered by Mr. Lawton Blanton of the Piedmont high school. Mr. Blanton, a native of Hollis, who has come into prominence as an orator, has already won four medals, the last one being received at Wake Forest College recently. This was a state contest in which 61 contestants took part. He also received a scholarship to Wake Forest College, and will enter school there next fall.
Mozele Gold received the Reciter’s Medal; her reading was “When the Moon Rose.”
Maynard Blanton received the Declamation Medal. His subject: “Spartacus to Gladiators.”
Miss Annie Davis of Green River in Polk County was awarded the scholarship medal. Her average for the year was 96.
A most tempting dinner, served picnic fashion, was very much enjoyed.
The afternoon program was in charge of the primary and grammar grades and consisted of songs, recitations and short dialogues. The children performed well their parts and showed careful training on the part of the teachers.
The teachers in charge of the school the past session were Mr. B.G. Weathers, Misses Alpha Elliott and Estelle Carpenter and was one of the best sessions the school has ever had.
After the exercises, the Parent-Teachers’ Association had a short meeting and elected officers for the coming year.
