A

the week,
Sunday morning of last week
The Baccalaureate Sermon was
preached by DIR. Boardman, presi-
dent of the collage. At night Rev.
John s. Eakin, a graduate Of the
college, now pastor of the First
Presbyterian chuch Of New Mark
ct, preached the annual sermo~ be-
fore the Y. W. and Y. M. G. A.
Both of these sermons we're excel
lent.
u Monday in the afternoon at 2:l5
Miss Flora Hpnry's music class
gave Piano recital, which was Oh !.
lJoyed by all who had the pleasure
of attending. Al night came the
last grand social reunion which
was changed this year from Thurs
day night to Monday. This of
course was enjoyed.
Tuesday at eleven a. m. interest
ling essays and music was the prog
ram enjoyed by those who could
ATTEND. In the afternoon came the
Glass Day.exercise, which was pro-
nounced by many as the most in
teresting event of the week. At
night the annual exercises of the
Adelphic Union were attended by
a large number of people. The
Program was good, but we havn't
space to 60 into the details. One
thing we must mention and that is
the speech of Miss Gusta Muecke
in presenting the Seniors of the
Bainonian society with their diplo-
mas. 1t was orrigional and unlike
the sterotyped speech usually de-
livered. Medals were presented by
the Athenian and Alpha Sigma So
cieties. The Athenian medals, one
! TO the best DICTATOR and the other
to the one making the most i'm
provement in.debate, we're carried
! off by Moses Gamble and Mr.. Post
Respectively. Both Of these gentle
men were voted these medals by
the popular vote of the society.
William Ruble carried off the AL.
pha Sigma Medal for being the best
all round man in the society. This
medal was awarded not by a pOpu
lar vote, but by system of grading
followed all the year The grading
Is in attendance, oratory, debating
etc. This is done at every meeting
night of the society by five compe
taut men and the one having the
best average is awarded the medal.
We congratulate these young men
upon their industry and hope they
will continue to merit their reward.
On Wednesday at eleven music
aad essays was the program. At
night came the Annual grand con-
cert which was the event Uf the
week all the elite Of the college and
city turning out in mass to hear
those wonderful musicians the Bar
low family and III. S. Jones. Prof
Barlow plays the piano with the
touch of a master ard his daught-
ers, Misses Ada and Grace, seemed
to transform everything they
touched into sweet melody. They
are certainly mistresses of that
sweet instrument, the violin, and
we never had the pleasure of hear
ing sweeter music from the mando-
lin as it is played by Miss Ada
This is no common instrument and
very few play it in such a way that
an audience will like it. Miss
Grace Barlow has u remarkably
sweet voice and has also marve-
lous control of it. Her solos were
certainly enjoyed. Mr.. II. S. Jones
is a thorough master of the cornet
and instead of loud, discerdant
instrument fit only for out of doors,
he transform this instrument
into one of the sweetest
and most delightful instruments
which can be used in concert.
At nine O'Clock Thursday the ex-
ercisesof the graduating class began.
There were thirteen In the class,
four of whom were young ladies.
This class certainly gives as much
promise of making itself felt in the
world as has any class graduating
from Maryville College. The menu
bers are bright, plucky, energetic
and public spirited. We expect to
hear more of '94. Miss Cenith
Moore, of this place, is the young
est in the class, being Is years Of
age, but she is by no means the
rear in any other way as her grad
uating speech demonstrated. The
music of the occasion was furnished
by the Musicians who gave the
