Glass Day program on the college
campus Tuesday afternoon. Until
recent years, graduating classes OF the
school have not given this program,
but now it has become one OF the
amusing and enjoyable entertainments
Of the commencement week. A large
crowd of students and friends of the
college assembled to hear the program,
and it was greatly enjoyed by all.
The exercises consisted of the class
song, an instrumental duett, the class
prophecy and will, and a comedy. All
parts had been well prepared and We're
equally we'll given. In the class will,
written by Lisle Rice, the senior class
of 1910 bequeathed their seats of hon
or, as well as many other articles that
would come in handy to senior, to
the junior class. The prophecy was
read by Miss Roberta McCallon. The
young lady prophesied many great
and glorious things for the class of
naught-ten The comedy, " Aunt Su-
san JONES' was presented by Miss
McCallon, Pauline VanOrsdel, Eula
Phillips, Lillian Perkins and Walter

great amount Of hilarity. The closing
feature Of the program was piano
duett by Lisle Rice and Ada Long
necker.
