THE BEACH INSTITUTE.
Interesting Exercises by the Gradu-
ating Class.

Contrary to the usual custom, Beach
Institute, colored, held its commencement
exercises in the afternoon yesterday. A
large audience filled tho hall and the exer-
cises were IN every way creditable The
graduating class of fourteen filed into
the room singing a professional Rev.
William Sengstacke opened the exercises
with prayer. The hymn by the normal
grade was finely rendered. Lizzie Carey
was the salutatorian. Her subject was
What Next" and she treated II intelli-
gently. Harper jefferson had the second
highest standing In the class. The recita-
lions by Marie Spencer and Susie Scott
and defamation on Tonsaint L'Overture
by Edward Brown, met the heartiest ap-
prevail Of the listeners.
The orations by Harper Jefferson and
Henry Tompkins showed careful thought
and preparation. Henry Tompkins, as
valedictorian, closed with the class history
and introduced Carrie Baker as fortune at
the wheel The wheel, trimmed with the
class colors, was turned for the benefit
OF the class, each of whom received a
prophecy. Rev. L. Is. Maxwell presented
the diplomas. The annual address, Act
Well Your Part" was delivered by Vice
President d. G. Suggs of the State
Industrial college. Prof. Suggs made
some particularly good hits. In the course
OF his remarks he showed by historic re-
ferences that rounded manhood and wo-
manhood are the chief elements of sue
cess; that the world always recognizes
II and that the political, social and com
mercial rank OF the negro depends upon
his developing the powers of manhood.
He urged the graduates TO be honorable
and upright. He assured them that the
world gives nothing. They must win
what they get. TO this end they must
work. All labor, he said, is honorable and
none is dsgraceful, save that which is
poorly done. The thought that mothers
sometimes make mistakes by consecrat-

only because il is the largest ever gradua-
ted but one of which the teachers feel
iustlY proud.
