Il
The Charles Town Male Academy
held its final exercises on the even
ing of last Wednesday. the 18th inst.
The occasion was more than usually /
as marking the close of
the hundreth session of this well |
known old institution. a large aa-
dience filed the school-room at eight
O'Clock, composed of a great many
ladies and gentlemen, besides the pa
irons and old scholars of the school.
After an opening prayer by Rev. w.
L. Gravatt, the Principal, DR.. Meade,
introduced the speaker of the eve
ming, Mr.. VIM. Fl. Wilson. Mr..
Wilson'S speech was an eloquent one
and was attentiyely listened to and
heartily applauded. Beginning with
tribute to the worth and merit of
the many representative citizens that
had come out of the old Academy,
and with short review of the won
derful material progress of the past
century, he dwelt upon the necessity
of the youth of the land cherishing a
high ideal of their civic duties, with a
plea to the younger generation to
purge the body polite of the impuri-
ties that have been fastened upon it
by the forces of modern greed and
selfish wealth.
At the close of the speech the
Principal delivered the various GER
ltfficates to the students, and pro-
nounced the session closed.
| DIR. Meade's assistant during the
past year has been Mr.. Charles Hep
burn, of Hanover county, Va, who
leaves behind him many friends with
high appreciation of his work at
the Academy.
