the wild pillows of life have the wander
ing hearts of9our great woment of the
| South turned back to Salem Female
Academy, and blessed .the halowed
memoryeof Laws spent beneath its foster
ing roof-taking fresh courage from the
retrospect for the irksome tasks beside
them.
And, now, as the class of 1889, have
just passed the ordeal Of examination and
acquitted themselves with so creditahle
distinction, we will give your readers a
a brief outline of the commencement
exercises:
On Friday evening, May 3lst, at s
o'clock, the grand concert was given, be-
fore a vast audience in the Moravian
Church, it having been found necessary by
the experience OF the past few years to
seek a place of more ample seating
capacity than the College chapel afforded,
in order to accommodate all who were
eager to be in attendance at the closing
exercises. The general supervision of the
concert was under the immediate charge
of Prof. Marhgraff, and Miss Catherine
/ Evans, the musical director, assisted by
Miss Alma Carmi :hael.
1t would be gratifying in the highest
degree, If your space would permit, to
delineate all the beauty of the wild,
ravishing food composing the make up of
this strikingly arranged and well-render, d
entertainment; their neat, modest, yet
tasty attire; and the perfect unison and
consequent melody produced by the many
pure, well-trained, co~ncordant voices, as
also the ease and skill with which these
fair tydys handled the keys of the full
toned piano. AS much as we are per-
picked in trying to form a distinction
where everything was so well and salts
factorily done, from Spanish Dances
and, "Stars of the Night Adjoining" down
to the four,part choru%-"Song Of the
Triton"-we feel that Miss Addie Devoe
Laciar; of Pennsylvania, in her vocal solo,
'Staccato Polka" was one of the most
bewltehing and transporting renditions,
all things considered, that has fallen upon
our sensory nerves for many a day, as all
Of her tones, semi-tones, quavers and de-
Elections We're the very acme of unison
ance.
The Baccalaureatt sermon was delivered
on Sunday morning before the school
and the Salem congregation, by the Rev.
Thomas II. McCallie, Ct Chattanooga,
Tenn. It was replete with wholesome
truth, and ornate in literary finish, and
will linger by many of us until the last
beam of life shall fade away.
Monday witnessed the gathering around
the old camp-fres of the Alumne Asso-
citation, where many students of the
olden times exchanged salu;atlons with
those of the new and bid those just en-
barking upon the unknown future, their
heartiest bon VoyGge.
This was also the day for the Art Ex-
hibit. You nave stood in the halls of the
Corcoran and viewed it's vast paintings,
but some of the exhibits of the work just
finished by this years class are jewels of
artistic design and finish and would grace
any gallery of art into which they might
find their way. It was simply astonishing
to see to what perfection this art can be
carried in school trainging, and the day
is no far distant when all this talent will
be needed by n expanding Southland.
