Yerington College closed its winter
term with series of entertainments.
The last one closed with lecture,
"Mv visit TO the Mammoth Cave" by
| G. w. Yerington. This lasted nearly
two hours. His advanced shorthand
class was present and took it down
| verbatim. Four of them, Miss Etfie
Luscom, Belle Workman, Blanc he
Johnson and Belle Young, sat up all
night after the lecture, transcribing
their notes, and the next morning
handed nearly the whole of the lee
ture to the speaker, transcribed in
perfect shape. Morning dawned a
little too soon for them, however, and
they were obliged TO finish the work
the next day. This was a remarkable
test for these young people, and nc
lone who has not made a study OF
shorthand can realize the amount OF
credit they deserve for this great
effort, and their success in the under
taking. 1t proves conclusively that
the work done in this college cannot
be excelled in this or any other state
