tia OF the orationsy the first prize, q
silver medal, was awarded to Roy w.
McGee} and the second, gold foun,
tain pen; was giveni to Thomas w.
Taylor" The class address by VIM S.
O'Brien was not up tOtthe standard at
all. The drift of his address was
against social equality and for the race
to- 80 no higher than industrial e1uca-
ti0fl.. He addressed Tho class as the
bl4ckB.,' and said I'VE might if we
wished, take g. profession" but he i'm
plfe0' BY the trend Of his remarks that
the professions were not for us. We
think, too that the orchestra music
wits not appropriate for the occasion,
and hope we may hereafter be able to
get singers enough among our own
pe0pfe' to- furnish our music.

One Of the finest, discourses that it
has been our pleasure to listen to for
a long time,' was the sermon de iyered
at che Simpson NJ: E. Chapel Sunday
at s p. NJ: before the graduating class
of the Victoria Street School, by Rev
William H. Berry. Of Cambridge, Ohio.
a student at the Ohio State Uniyer.
The sermon was deep and we'll pre-
pared, and delivered in a mastery
manner, which would do credit to a
person many years his senior.
1t was a sermon filled with infOrma-
ton and a good lesson to his people
and II they follow what he mapped out
to them there would be a revolution in
the race which would bear fruit of
much good:
He is young man of unquestion-
able ability and good demeanor He is
modest and unaSSuming, but thorough
ly devoted to his profession, his race,
his God and humanity in general. He
is q student of great promise, and will
some day; II he lives, become bril-
liant teacher Of, Gods ways, and a
credit ta'hfs race and country.
