Colored Commencement Exer
cises
The Newport colored school
commencement exercises were
held Wednesday evening in the
circuit court room and demon
strated an order of intelligence
and ability upon the part of the
boys and girls who took part,
that is not only creditable to
their race, but to their teachers
land school training and instruc
tion.
The court room was crowded
*to its seating capacity and a
temporary stage had been e
^ected in front of the bar and
decorated with palms, upon
which the graduates were seat
ed after entering the room to a
march played upon a piano.
Music was furnished by a cho
rus of female voices and also by
soloists and a quartette, which
added much to the pleasure of
the entertainment.
Prof. E. J. Wheeler was mas
ter of ceremonies and the invo
cation was delivered by Rev. G.
B. Ashford. Next came the es
says and orations of the gradu
ates, the salutatory being giv
en by Irene B. Carter, and the
valedictory by William G
Thompson. The other graduates
were James W. Stewart, Claude
Reeves, Fred W. Calhoun and
Gussie B. Clark, each taking part
in the program.
The graduates’ essays and o
rations were listened to with
dose attention and each con
tributed much good and whole
some thought upon the various
subjects treated.
The class address by Rev. J.
D. Dennis upon the “Making of a
Real Man” was a strong plea to
both class and audience to build
well upon high character with
proper training and accomplish
ments a man of capacity for la
bor and service. It was an ex
cellent address and appreciated
by all of his audience.
Prof. Wheeler then thankcr1
his audience, patrons, the class,
j teachers and superintendent for
helpful assistance and co-opera
tion.
The diplomas to the six gradu
! ates were presented by the presi
dent of the school board, Judge
| E. L. Boyce, in a few brief and
i appropriate remarks, in which
he complimented the colored
school for the showing made by
this class and urged the organi
zation of a school improvement
I society among the negroes.
