~ large audience present ard the room
was crowded, the windows were full a. d
many stood up during the exercises. The
room was arfistica!ly decorated with
evergretns, climbing vines and flowers,
while the art exhibit Of the pupils hung
on the walls. Much of this art work
was wrought by the new pupils and was
The first work from their hands for public
inspection. The work was very well
dCDe and did credit to the young artists
and their painStakinG teachers There
was All elaborate music program, some
of the selections being very drnicnlt, but
exhibit around which possibly the MOST
interest centered was the many beautiful!
specimens Of the baten5urg lac work.
This interesting study is taught by Miss
Sue Scoiieid, who Lad some specimens Of
her own work rs we'll as those Of iier
pupils on exhibit. The beautiful cover
with solid center and the black silk jacket
were the prettleSt We have seen. The
pictures on tie walls consisted of paStvlle
work, free hand drawing from objects,
oil paintings and crayon work The
violin solos by Misses Marie Clifford
and Annie R0dger were very fine, while
the piano,m,tsc by Misses Ligon, Greg
ory, OetZel, Thompson, Gilbert, Greer,
McKinzie, Mccullough, Williamson and
Summers were in keeping with the rest
of the interesting and entertaining pro-
gram. All the pupils did credit to
themselves and their teachers.
On "Wednesday evening large crowd
was present to witness the famous drill
exercises. 1t was well executed and tho
many difficult evolutions were gone
through without q break and apparently
without Il loss OF il single step. There
were thirty-thlee young ladies in the
drill which began AZ 9 O'Clock and lasted
half an hour. Some of their mo vements
looked like perfect tange and all were
wondering how they wonld ever get
back to their places, but it was done with
perfect ease. The young ladies can cer-
tainly give the best drilled troops some
pointers in field movement, Each young
lady wore long red scarf over her
shoulder, and wien the line came ia q
company front by def movement they
formed with these scarfs the words
"Welcome to you" so quickly and unex-
pectly that you could not help wondering
how il was done. &c. f. S." was also
made with these searfs, and finally after
more drilling front was formed and
these words sprang up in front "Good
Night" The girls were the recipients
of liberal applapses, and after lettering
about the premises and art room for an
hour on more the crowd gradually dis
persed feeling that they had enjoyed a
very pleasant evening.
When the drill was over the girls, lust
before entc-ing the hnilding, gave their
college yell, which simply lays all the
boys college yells we have heard III the
shade, here IL is as near as We could get
it. The young ladies viii plrdOn US for
stealing IL and forgive us ii we maize a
break il trying TO reproduce it: Chic
a-lacka, chic-a lacka, Chow, chow, chow;
Boom-a-lacka, boOm-a lacka, bow.wOw-
WOW; Who are, who are, who ara We?
We are, we are, yes, yes. yes; We are
the girls Of the g. F. 50 Th 're is ar
either one but we won't risk it. 1t is
something about ''raz-zers" and We con-
slider them dangerous tools to fool with.
Refreshments were served both Tues
day and Wednesday evenings on the
grounds.
