The Winecoff High School closed this year’s session on last Monday night, April 23rd, with the class day and graduating exercises. The class of ’23 has five members, and they took part in the evening exercises as follows:
President’s Address—Leroy Umberber.
Class History—Annie Cline Barnhardt.
Class Prophecy—Ada Rebecca Castor.
Last Will and Testament—Brad Houston Stroud.
Valedictorian—Annie Cline Barnhardt.
New features of the commencement this year were the awarding of an efficiency prize offered by Mr.s D.B. Castor to her room, and won by Ruth Umberger and Clinton Hartsell; and the awarding of a gold medal to Frank Litaker, offered the High School by Mr. R.D. Goodman; and the awarding of a gold medal in recitation to Estelle Ezzell, given to the High School by Mr. H.A. Scott.
Twenty certificates for perfect attendance were awarded to pupils in this school, notwithstanding the epidemics. These were awarded with appropriate words by Prof. Robertson.
Rev. T.N. Lawrence made the literary address on “Service as the Measure of Success.” His address was pointed and practical and thoroughly enjoyed.
The school during the year has made several valuable improvements, and among these was the installation of a new electric lighting system. These were used to good effect during commencement.
Winecoff takes special pride, both in the number of young people it now has in college and the number of young people it has had to graduate from college in the last few years.
Monday evening’s program marked the close of another good year’s work done at Winecoff.
