The Junior Court was the name of

The Junior Court was the name OF
the class organ, read by Miss Gertie
Bayless. The reading was not as loud
as we wanted it to be. but we caught
enough to know that she was roasting
everything In sight, and especially the
Seniors. The academy boys caught a
share, and the officers and teachers of
the school did not escape.
The "Class Song" was, in its way, the
gem of the evening. 1t was sung to the
tune of John Browns Body :" and con-
sisted Of sixteen verses. We thought
the Junior Court had we'll roasted
everything, but this song was a daisy in
its line. Each verse roasted somebody,
and did it thoroughly. 1t was composed
by the class, assisted by one OF the
teachers. Every one took his roast with
a smile, and seemed to enjoy the roast
ing of the others.
The audience enjoyed the entertain
ment and fingered in the chapel half an
hour bidding the girls goodbye, and
wishing for them a Merry Christmas
and q Happy New Year.

B. F. O. JUNIORS.

The Junior class Of Baptist college
gave an entertainment at the college
chapel Thursday night, which was well
attended, the room being crowded.
There is q rivalry between the Senior
and Junior classes, each trying to Guido
the other, and it stimulates both classes
to. do their best. When the Seniors give
an entertainment every n thinks that
1t Is better than that Of the Juniors /;
and when the Juniors entertain, the
crowd Is sure that they eclipse any pre-
vious effort.
The exercises were opened with prayer
by Rev. W. l. Cole, and without further
ceremony Miss Susie Wortham. presi-
dent Of the organization, delivered an
address Of welcome. We are sure she
meant all she said when she bio the
audience q hearty welcome.
Misses Fannie Skinner and May Rey-
nolds played q very pretty piano duet,
which contained less noise and more
music than the general run Of selections.

Pride OF character.

manhood and not reformed, to have

That was a fad then-some fifteen
years ago.
Charlie did not enter rs they run slow
mule races ut q country fair, but to

There was N girl in the contest, and
they tramped sawdust in the old hall for

Charlie quickened his pace and de
ceived his friends.
The girl won the race and Charlie
came out second best.
He was too gallant to beat the girl or
he would have won first prize.
From that day he was quicker than
anybody. ~
The best wishes of the Bazoo go with
