'9S COMMENCEMENT.
Outline of the Exercises at Salem
Female Academy and College,
Nav 23-26


The programme OF commencement
week at Salem Academy and College
as finally arranged will cover the days
from Sunday, May 22nd to Thursday,
May 26Jh. The exercises in as far ds
possible will be included within Tues
day and Wednesday, So that persons
arriving in Winston-Salem Monday
will be able to attend all OF the eXer-
cises and leave Thursday evening.
The exercises will be divided be-
tween the Academy Chapel and the
Home Church. The Sunday morning
sermon will be delivered in the Home
Church, and the commencement eXer-
cises proper will also be held in the
church Thursday morning. All the
other occasions will be held in the
school chapel. As the chapel will
probably not be large enough TO ac
commodate the friends who attend
these occasions, arrangements will be
made to comfortably provide for any
such either on the pOrticO of main
hall adjacent the chapel or in the
rear court. These points are often
chosen by the visitors to similar occa-
sions because the music sounds as
well and the unpleasant feature of
the crowded hall is avoided. Every
effort will be made to comfortably
our towns or from a distance.
The class to graduate in the College
Department consists of % young
ladies. In addition to this there will
be a number of graduates in other
departments.
The school of music and elocution
have had an unusually successful year
and hence programme is being ar
ranged which will afford much en- Joy
ment to the friends.
Several new features will be intro
duced. Among them we note Seniors
Day. This will be Tuesday. EXer-
cises of various kinds will take place
throughout the day, which will be
varied and interesting. The Seniors
will entertain and welcome their
friends by appropriate and carefully
prepared programmes at 10 a. m, 2:30
N. and p. m. This day will be
strictly class day, and Will enable the
class to do itself justice in many ways
not heretofore possible.
AlumnH Day will be Wednesday.
Business meeting in the morning and
the banquet in the afternoon. To this
banquet admission is strictly by
tickets. Members of the Association
will apply to Mrs. Judge d. Ii. Star
buck for tickets. There is no special
fee charged, as the banquet is given

laws of the Association, members

The institution is happy in its
speakers. The sermon by Rev. Fl. A
Brown, d D., 3 warm friend Of the
| school, a devoted man ofGod, and one
| who by years of faithful wCrk has
| built up for himself a name second to
| none in the old North State.
The oration will be delivered by
Judge Advocate General Samuel c..
| Lemly, Ill d United States Navy.
| North Carolina is always proud OF her
men who have made a record for them

| in his chosen profession, and in addi-
| tion to his success ia the Navy he has
| not neglected his scholarship, as is
