Fitting School Notes.
The reception given by the faculty
and students February End was a
splendid success, and it is now gen.
orally conceded to have been the
best in the schools history. No
energy was spared in its preparation.
Two weeks before the day set COM
mittees began their various duties,
and these continued until the bell
tapped last Saturday night and in
formed the merry party that the
reception was at an end. Ihey
worked faithfully, and success crown
ed their efforts. About eight thirty
the crowd began to gather IN the
chapel which had been prepared for
it's reception. Seats were arranged
around along the walls and scattered
here and there through the room:
Ferns, evergreens, and flowers served
as decoration. The effect was very
pleasing and never before did the
chapel look so well as she did that
that night when she received her
guests.
After a season the guests were IN
vited across the hallway into the
gymnasium where the refreshments
were served. This room was more
beautiful still. The tables were
spread in pure white and artistically
adorned with flowers, beautifully
embroidered and drawn center
pieces, candles, china, glass and
japanese doilies. From the corners
of the room long ropes Of ivy were
SUSPENDED, coming together at the
center, from which point hanged a
large red bell and about which were
clustered japanese lanterns. The
windows were draped in white lace
curtains, with evergreen over the
top of each and a beautiful fern at
the foot. The large lamp in the cen
ter casted a red-hue over the, room
which was augmented by the Ian
terms, bell and berries. Beautiful"
escaped the lips of those present as
they entered this room.
At the door of the room each guest
was detained a moment, while. one
of the reception committee pinned
on yellow, gold trimmed, crescent
and bright golden star, which had
been prepared as souvenirs OF the
occasion. :.
The evening passed off as one full
of merriment, jollity and fun max
ing. The pleasure was added to by
selections rendered on the piano by
Misses Elise Rentz, Ida Muller and
FIossie Mundaugh. Some Of the
visitors also played.
The beauty and success of the oc-
casion are largely due to the chap
erones: Mesdames Beach, Hogan,
Risher and Roberts. and the members
of the arrangement committee who
stood faithfully by them in their
work.
The reception committee who
kept things moving" all the time,
may be largely thanked for the sue
cess socially.
Quite good many old students
and friends of the school attended
reception. Among. them were:
Misses Edna Dukes, Leila Gates,
Lissie Ulmer and Miss Louise Gage,
of the Govan graded school; Prof.
Chandler, of Govan; Messers. She'd
die Arant, Phillip McCants, Geo: VI
mer Zeigler, Johnson Weekly, Ernest
Ritter, B. Dannelly, and Stacy
Kearse.
Since the last announcement the
management has had some difficulty
in making final arrangements for the
Grienauer recital, and it was feared
at one time that we would not be
able to have this famous cello mas
ter this year, but all lovers of music
will be glad to know that he will be
here February 18th. It is through
special effort that he is secured and
this will probably be his last appear
ance in Bamberg.
We are glad to welcome among us
Percy HERS, who entered school
this week. He is a brother of Ernest
HERS, who has been a student two
years.
