The state spelling contest under the
supervision of Superintendent HoIlo-
way came off April q in the college
auditorium. Everybody at the college
and in Tallahassee was deeply inter
ested to see the thirty three young
girls and boys take part in such g
worthy cause. Our congratulations &c
to all these young people who proved
such excellent spoilers.
The Latin play, 'Trinumus," given
last Saturday evening by the members
of the Classical club was both sue
cessful and enjoyable. The stage was
! arranged with a Roman setting, as fal
as possible, and the costumes of the
actors were modelled after the old Ro-
man fashions.
The young ladies taking part made
thorough study of the characters and
| interpreted them in a most interesting
manner. The climax of the play was
reached when the Sycophant, who was
employed with a Three Penny Piece
! to bring the money to Lesbonicus, met
| Charmides. Another feature worthy
of mention was the superior memory
| work displayed by the actors, for the
| passages were long and verbose, yet
not a single performer hesitated in any
| line. 1t was interesting to the audi
| ence to see drama of two Thousand
years ago, and compare it with that o.
| today. The purpose of the play wa!
not to amuse the audience, but to Civ,
| the pupils higher appreciation of tn,
| old Roman drama. Miss Farrington'i
| Ensemble class furnished most de.
| lightful music for the occasion. Al
| the selections were beautiful and tn,
| exquisite harmony of four violins ant
| the piano met with the heartiest ap
probation from the audience. Mucl
praise is due DR.. c. z. Boyd, directo,
of the classical department and of tn,
| Classical club, for his efforts in bring
| ing this play before the students ant
| the public generally. The next meet
ing of the Classical club will be at tn,
annual banquet in May.
| The Coburn Players have come an,
gone" nor did they fail to come up t,
our expectations. Such a delightful
performance has never before beel
given at the State College for Women
and everybody enjoyed it in full. Tn
setting on the lawn in front Of Bryal
hall was most beautiful, for Orland,
could nail his love verses to real trees
