FIRST HIGH SCHOOL CLASS GOES OVER TOP NEXT WED. - "The first Senior Class of the
Chandler High School will, to use their own expression, 'Go Over the Top' of
public school work into the battle of life in the business and professional
world next Wednesday night at 9:00 p.m.  The graduation exercises will be held,
through the kindness of Dr. A. J. Chandler, in the Arcade of The San Marcos
Hotel.  The public is invited.  The Chandler High School was founded four years
ago when Ella Page Seward was principal, the next year it became a two year
school under the direction of Mr. L. E. McFadden, the next year it expanded into
a three year high school under the guidance of Supt. Rice and finally it grew
into a full fledged four year school last fall.  The members of the graduating
class are MISS NORA CHITWOOD, BRUCE HERBERT ROBINSON and EARNEST JOSEPH KOCH, JR.  
The members of the class are sending out pretty graduating announcements this
week.  The class motto is the famous English war slogan, 'Carry On.'  The Junior
Class will give an informal reception to the Seniors at the school house
Saturday night.  In order to put into practice the democratic spirit of the
public high school in the matter of dress and in order to spend no unnecessary
money at this time of war strain, the Board of Trustees has passed a resolution
that all graduating classes shall wear the cap and gown for a graduating
costume.  This is the practice of all the large high schools of the east and
middle west and is very appropriate.  Instead of wearing the black of college
custom the caps and gowns are of light grey.”
