SOUTHSIDE/UNION

May 16,1924--Beginning Friday afternoon the rural students of the county will cross over the threshold between the first nine months school term in the history of the county and a solid three months of vacation, the only regrettable feature about it to the kids being that it is to be a three month instead of a four month vacation to which they have been accustomed. Examinations are now in progress in all the schools outside Clarksville and reports will be given next Friday morning.

The high school graduates of Southside include: Wayne Parker, John H. Batson, Phillip Lyle, Margaret Workman, and Mary Gannaway.

The pupils slated to receive elementary certificates include: Roy Batson, Bailey Trotter, Irvin Davis, Paul Thompson, William Wyatt, Virginia Thompson, Robbie Waller, Emma Lee McCormack, Nannie Batson, and Martha Williams.

May 23,1924--Certificates for three years of high school work were given with six graduates of Union School Friday night. Miss Priscilla Nolen, Miss Rena Averitt, Mr. Griffie Schmittou, Miss Minnie Chapman, Miss Jennie Mary Myers, and Mr. Alfred Chapman. Mr. Chapman was valedictorian and Miss Nolen was salutatorian.

A pleasing program was given in connection with these exercises. Miss Averitt read the class history. Mr. Schmittou, the prophecy. Miss Chapman, the will and Miss Myers, the poem. Mr. Schmittou, accompanied by Miss Nolen, played two violin numbers.

The commencement address was made by Mr. Geoffrey Weakley, a former graduate of Union who is principal of a high school in the state of Louisiana.

Including the present class, 25 young women and 7 young men have graduated from Union and all are doing well in their chosen vocation.

The primary excreises were held Thursday and the presentation of the play “The Ole Deestrict Skule” Saturday. The smaller pupils, under the careful training of the teachers, Miss Oma and Nannie Sugg, gave a most delightful entertainment.

Union has had a good year without a failure to record among the high school students. Under the capable instruction of Miss Hazel Smith, a graduate of Middle Tennessee Normal School, who was added to the teaching force last fall, splendid work has been done in all departments.

During the first month, Supt. A.W. Jobe paid the school a visit and inspected the building for needed repairs and in a few days the repair man, H.G. Dunlavy, came out and began the work. He will have to make a second trip to complete the job.
