Dr. Cranford of Trinity College Gives High School Commencement Sermon, May 25, 1924

Commencement Sermon Is Well Attended

The High School Commencement Sermon was held last night by a capacity audience.

Dr. William I. Cranford of Trinity College, Durham, was the speaker and he took for his theme “Character Building.” He made no pretense at delivering a prepare address, his talk being informal, but there was nothing lost in his so doing. In fact, he got the closer to the audience.

There was not much change in the printed program except Rev. J.M. Everette of the Spray Baptist church took Rev. C.W. Bowlings’ place and deliver the invocation.

The High School Auditorium was filled and many turned away.
