speech, we'll 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 a rovel had
upon us. 1t is the reality n fiction
that gives the novelist suc1 hold
upon us when we read the printed
pages. The novel must show true life
and represent it if it takes tlis 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 cannot be pleased
with anything that does not represent
this real life. That story that is painted
unreal life cannot have 4 coed int1u-
ence.
Mr.. Shealy's speech interested his
bearers and was delivered in all easy
and graceful manner.
Mr.. D. NJ. Warn, of Colleton County,
next told US of the college Graduate" D."
He took retrospective view of college
life and said no reflections brought so
| many pleasant memories. And in 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 tuition 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.
At this juncture in the exercises came
the awarding of prizes and medals and
the reading of the honor roll.
President Holland announced the
degrees conferred upon the graduates
which may be seen from his report
submitted to the trustees, and pub

ingly interesting one and the faculty
could not decide between Mr.. +. a.

ed that they would give both the young

made by the two medalists and we
publish it and make it of record:

awarded upon the merits OF the ex
animation alone. and when the eXa.nin;-
tion papers were handed in for criticism that
of Mr.. Barnie i. Jones, OF Laurens County
was found worthy OF the high grade OF 35 per
cent.
There were two other papers, however. be-
tween which neither the Professor of Greek nor
the President of the college was able to make
difference in grade and both were so nearly
perfect that each one was marked % per cent.
1t was. therefore, decided that each of these
two papers deserved a medal. They were the
papers Of Edwin A. Carlisle of NewDerry. ahd
