speech, well prepared
The next speaker was Mr.. w. A.
Shealy, of Newbery County, who spoke
of Reality in fiction" Have We ever
asked ourselves what effect novel had
upon US. 1t is the reality IN fiction
that gives the novelist such hold
pages. The novel must show true life
and represent it if it takes this hold;
must portray noble manhood and ele-
CANT womanhood and the innocence Of
childhood. The story that lives must
represent life as it is. We have a real
world around us and canIot be pleased
with anything that does not represent
this real life. That story that is painted
unreal life cannot have q good intlu-
ence.
Mr.. Shealy's speech interested his
hearers and was delivered in All easy
and graceful manner.
Mr.. D. NJ. Warn, of Colleton County,
next told US of the college Graduate"
He took a retrospective view of college
life and said no reflections brought so
many pleasant memories. And III this
backward glance we could observe no
more inspiring thought and gratifying
reflection than the aid received in our
work from the able corps of professors
under whose tU.:' on we bave had the
good fortune to BE-. They would be an
honor to any college, and it should be
the aim of the graduates to bear them
selves worthy of their preceptors.
Mr.. Warn made telling and effective
speech.

animation alone. and when the e:,a.nina-

cent.
There were two other papers, however be-
tween which neither the Professol"l Greek nor
the President Of the college was able ID make
q difference in grade, and both were so nearly

two papers deserved a medal. They were the
papers OF Edwin A. Carlisle OF NewDer}y, ahd
