President, W. W. Robertson.
Long before the opening of the
exercises, the large hall was filled
and all about the doors and hall
ways were many standing.
The reporter got there at the
ninth hour, but it did not keep him
from seeing that every detail of the
decorative art had been used in
beautifying the chapel for the oc-
casion.
Turn your eyes in any direction,
and there were many woven vines
and colored paper, which made a
nice contrast to the many gay
decorated hats and bonnets seen in
the audience.
The white dresses had an inning
last night, and nothing makes a
woman look more bewitching than
soft fabrics of white, and this was a
picture indeed worth teasting the
eyes upon for many hours.
At nine o'clock, Prof. W. W.
Robertson raped the house to
order and Rev. ]. w. johnson de
livered prayer.
Miss Maggie Watson then sang a
sweet solo, Utley Webber accom-
panied on piano, was received with
great applause, and recall. Miss
Watson has pleasing voice, full of
music and will yet make her mark
IN the song world.
The duet by Miss Watson and
Miss Hilda Lyons Der jaeger" was
roundly applauded.
The essays of the Misses Nc
Mahons, Mary and Agnes, and
