OF the D. w. f. &.

Shortly after 900 o'clock the beauti-
full array of girls formed in line, at the
Female College and marched to the
Erskine Auditorium. Nothing in the
category ofsweets is sweeter than the
girl graduate, and a young man was
heard to call this line of march Ho-
garth's line ofbeauty. Hogarth's curves
may be beautiful, but this line of
beauty was enhancing.
The Honor Roll was indeed long
one and it was evident that the girls
under DR.. Boyce's watchfui eye have
not been idle these nine months past.
Mr.. Warner, of Washington, D. c.,
delivered the art medal.
The medal for the best collection of
Pictures was delivered to Miss Lavenia
Kennedy, and the certificate for one
years tuition in art was delivered to
Miss Alma Kennedy for the best single
picture.
After the delivery of these prizes
Mr.. Warner announced that he would
offer next year three prizes in addition
to the prizes already offered: one to be
called the Darlington prize; one to be
called the Hemphill prize; and one to
be called the Carnegie prize.
DIR, Boyce replied in q few well
chosen words.
The Choral Club, led by Mr.. D. s.
Edwards, played delightful music at
intervals.
The day passed quickly and pleas
antly. To us who were there in the
years gone by most pleasant memories
carried us back toincidents and occa-
sions that bind with Gordian knot
