account OF the performers and their
work it is necessary to speak briefly
of the decorations and appointments.
The old chapel was transformed into
bower of beauty by the lavish use of
buntings, hangings, curtains, plants,
etc. The windows were covered
with heavy chenille hangings; the pill
lars twined with Ivy; and festoons Of
Of crimson reached from corner to
corner across the room. The plat
form was enlarged for convenience.
A large picture of Pallas Athene the
presiding genius Of the Athenans pre-
sented by Mrs. c. C. Litterer hung
conspicuous with crimson banner,
decorated In owls, presented to the
society by Mrs. Sanford.
The Athenians and their lady hon.
orary members wore the crimson
roses aud ribbons of the society and
added much brightness to the
scene. An old student who was pres.
ent said that at no time previous was
the chapel decorated so tastefully or
more beautifully.
The occasion was presided over
by Prof. Horace Ellis, Athenian grad
uate of 'o8. After the invocation by
the Rev. O. c. Peyton, pastor of the
Baptist Church. MRS. P. M. Bartlett

tette rendered a fine selection of Class.
ic music and were heavily applauded.
The quartette consists of Messrs.
w. R. Jones, ]. Q. Wallace, w. H.
Harmar and Prof. C. H. Elmore

ed the college. Their comic encores
are decidedly popular where ever they
give them. Next IN order came the
