LAST AND BEST.
1t is customary among children, and
children of a larger growth as we'll,
to keep the best things for the last. SO
it was that tonight, after all the weari-
some wo"k Of months past was finished,
and after all the dignified and state
function of commencement were over,
the Wake Forest senior proceeded to in
dulge himself in the best thing of all his
four years of tolls and joys. chat with
his girl without the harassing thought
of work to be done for the morrow. or
of that speech to be delivered before the
big crowd. He threw open the doors of
the college and bade his girl enter. She
did enter. 1t was JOY unalloyed.
The social event of the commencement
tonight is one of the biggest and great
est in the history of the college There
is a tremendous crowd here. The people
have been gathering steadily for the
past three days, and the special train
from Raleigh this evening arrived pack
ed and iammed to it's utmost capacity
1t is a lovely sight. The night is per-
feet, cool, with the air clear and the
stars brilliant. The college buildings
are all lighted up. The two society
halls in the library are thrown open.
