Wentworth Military Academy
The Oldest Military Academy in Missouri,
as Well as the Best One, Closes
Another Year.
THE END OF A SUCCESSFUL YEAR
An Account of the Annual Commencement
Season Of a Renowned Institution
of Learning.

1t has rightly become a part OF our college
as the mental man. Health and strength
are two great levers in securing an edu-
cation, and should go hand in hand with
mind and study. Like all new methods,
athletic sports, upon their advent met
with serious objections from all sides.
They fought their way into college circles
against a strong opposition, but the
American educator is not quick to throw
aside any reform that comes ladened with
athletics, making Its way through the
objections aud over the obstacles, has
come to be a fixed part OF college educa-
ton, n upon the principle that the
body as well as the mind should be kept
sound, it is a blessed thing that they have
come. Wentworth Military Academy
always to the front, and always noted for
giving a general education, has to a wise
and reasonable extent encouraged athlet-
les, not to the extent of taking away from
the books that work that should be given
them, but sufficient to keep the physical
power In strength to cultivate the mental.
Thus throughout the year, when season
able, the boys have been encouraged to
take physical exercise. Major Sellers,
who has for many years ranked high in
educational circles, is much pleased with
the results that have come from the phys
ical training afforded by the military and
Athletic training. On Monday evening of
this week a large crowd assembled at the
academy campus, to witness the annual
field day sports of w. NJ. A. At two
O'Clock the judges called for order, and
the program began with:
Throwing the hammer-which was won
by Falcon; 46k feet.
Hundred yard dash-won by Stoughton;
time, ten seconds.
Putting shot-won by Wilson Young;
80 feet.
Backward race, 30 yards-won by
Stoughton.
Throwing base ball-won by Nordhaus !;
distance, 324 feet.
Fifty yard dash-won byLEeayon; 6h
seconds. ~

DRILL.

The friends of Wentwort Academy were
invited to the drill grounds on last
Wednesday evening TO witness the bat
tallion drill and also the prize drill contest
for the flag between the companies. The
weather was not altogether favorable, yet
there was q large crowd In attendance and
every one present saw q well equipped
and well trained battalion go though
the manual Of arms and all Of the other
features of military discipline. Under
the command OF Captain McConkey the
battalion has been we'll disciplined, and
has no mastered the art of military life
that it executes the various movements
and commands almost faultlessly.
The flag contest between the W COM
panies was indeed a beautiful affair.
Company A, under the captaincy of A. l..
Falcon, was the first to drill. After II
had used up the allotted time the general
verdict vas that 1t was unnecessary for
company b to contest with the ranking
company. But company b has some well
drilled cadets too. and after 1t had exhib-
tied its military training a short time
those present began to be in doubt as to
which company would get the prize.
Company c Is under the command OF
Captain Paul Kirk. Both companies
drilled msguiHcently. The judges were
Captain J. c. McConkey, G. H. Mayer and
J. ID. Cravens. The decision was not
rendered until Thursday.

PRIZE DRILL.

Thursday was q gloomy day, but as
gloomy as the weather was there was
a large crowd on the Academy campus
to watch the competitive drill for
the NJ. G. Lilly & Co.'s sword. Fully
i've hundred people were spectators
upon the beautiful military ceremony Of
guard mounting, which was executed In a
correct and without friction.
After guard mounting the sword con-
test began. Nine cadets entered the con-
test for the sword. The commands were
given by Captain McConkey, and SO we'll
was each executed that for a good while
1t seemed that it would be impossible
to decide upon the winner. Command
after command was executed faultlessly,
Finally. however, q few mistakes were
made and several were dropped from the
ranks, leaving two to fight the battle out.
After q long drill the prize was awarded
to ID. G. Kenyon, of Indianapolis. b. w.
Stoughton was q close second. Both of
these young men drilled like t~rojans.
Mr.. Horace F. Blackwell, in an eloquent
speech, delivered the sword to Mr.. Ken
yon. Mr.. Blackwell among other things
said:
MY YOUNG FRIEND.-It gives me great
pleasure this afternoon to present you
%ceilence In military drill. Among all
people and in all ages the sword has been
regarded az an emblem of fratricidal
strife, but In this age when brain il king

COMMENCEMENT


The annual closing ceremonies OF Went
worth Military Academy took place at
Hagen's opera house, on Thursday even
ing. The popularity Of the past enter
tainments attracted "A large audience,
who anticipated an extraordinary treat.
The audience was not disappointed In its
expectations. The entertainment Thurs
day night was well up to the standard.
While the program was somewhat long,
it did not lack interest. The length OF the
program was a pleasing feature.
The Wentworth Academy has on its
roster some fine talent, and a part of this
was displayed to good advantage Thurs
day evening. The opera house was crowd
ed with enthusiastic guests when at eight
o'clock Major Sellers called for order, and
asked Rev. w. L. Cole TO implore the
blessings OF the Deity.
The Academy orchestra opened the
excellent program with an equally excel
lent selection.
The class orator was Carter f.. Damrell.
The subject of his grafton was "Giory."
His delivery was very good, and his
thoughts were very original. His GRAFTON
was free from the usual ~hackneyed, ~stereo-
typed phrases, so common in college
orations.
Damrell's speech was followed by a
selection, "Nordica Valse," by a double
quartette OF cadets. 1t might be said here
that there are some fine musicians among
the cadets. They furnish all the music
for the academy entertainments.
Paul H.. Kirk recited "Across the
Bridge" very creditably. The different
characters in the piece he initiated well.
"Sweet Bunch of Daisies" by the cadet
Glee Club, was the e number. The
club is composed of six cadets, whose
| voices blended in harmony. While none
Of the voices were strong, none were
harsh, and all seemed under good control.
The recitation, Bernardo Del Carpio,"
by w. G.. Shelby, was a well delivered
recitation, and was accorded generous
applause.
The most interesting number on the
| program, perhaps, was the silent drill.
| This was as pretty as it was we'll done.
| For about ten minutes the boys drilled
| aud there was not an error made. This
| speaks well for them and the academy.
| They were encored, and answered by
| drilling a few minutes and then firing a
| volley of blank cartridges, which was con-
| sidered by the audience To be q hint that
they did not expect to drill any more that
night.
The British Patrol, executed by the
double quarette, was very pleasing.
No place having been assigned A. L.
Falcon on the program, a request wa
sent up from the audience that he recite
"America's Conversion" His imitation OF
the African dialect was very fine. When
he completed his speech there followed
prolonged applause, To which Falcon
responded very gracefully.
Charles II. Mayer delivered the post
graduate Grafton. lie took for his subject,
An Era of Peace" which subject he
handled in n mastery manner. Ills
delivery was, perhaps, the best of the
evening.
Grow, Boatman Row." by the Qlee
| Club, was given prolonged applause.

VALEDICTORY.

Ills to the instructors, officers and
cadets OF Wentworth Military Academy
that we, the Glass Of '95, must first bid
adieu. However, we shall pause on the
threshold Of this grand institution long
enough to turn our faces to the historic
city OF Lexington, with its hospitable,
generous people. and exclaim:
Nov the clouds OF the past are uplifted,
Showing beauteous visions of yore;
Asa mariner sees, for away, the green trees.
And hues OF an untrodden shore"
And In historic retrospection we look
back three-quartsrs OF q century, to the
hardy little band of K~sutuckians settling
on the banks Of the turbid Missouri,
founding this proud little city; and we
see each succeeding generation vieing the
preceding one In generous, chivalrous
hospitality, until we reach the acme in
the present prosperous people around us.
To you, dear friends, we bid adieu, in
the hope that We shall, Ia the days to be,
meet with o at not infrequent inter-
walls, and that we may In nc wise disap-
point the fondest hopes that you may en-
terrain for our success as manly men.
Some one has said: "Beware of parting.
The true sadness is not in the pain Of
parting; it is in the when and how we
are to meet again with the face about to
vanish from III view" But parting time
must come, and with it must come to as
cadets the time to march away from old
Wentworth, to take our places with the
rank and file that make up the busy
throng Of every day life. When and how
we shall meet again, dear instructors and
fellow-cadets, God alone knows. We
shall cherish the recollections OF our
school days. The time that shall be, In
which we may look back a6own the vista
of years, will sui intensity the feeling
Of regard we have gained for each other
here, and will throw q luster around the
incidents OF our school life that will make
our hearts warm and our lives better,
when the sordid affairs OF business shall
have had full sway.
must assume the practical. We know
that real happiness consists In health,
self. respect, the good will of the commu-
nifty and q sufficient income to crafty
reasonable wants; and we know that thu
old-time iowery admonitions to 'be up
and doing" are but rhetorical buucombe.
We do not expect to aim too high, but we
are going to aim straight. We are not
going to follow Emerson's advice, and
"hitch our wagon to Q star" Obi no

side Of life, and realize that honest worth
and patient endeavor shall bring the true
reward, and carry ambition up the ladder
OF fame In the only possible way,
But somehow, dear Wentworth, we
leave youths Class of '96-fseling that
and yet you will go with US. You shall
be q part OF our lives, and we shall lose

fence when we:-
