COLLEGE CELEBRATES.
Jubilee Meeting on Campus. at Which
Victories Achieved During Year
Are RecOunted.

scene of merry activity last Thursday
evening. The beautiful lawn was we'll
lighted with japanese lanterns aided
with "the light of the silvery moon. "
The occasion was in honor of the men
who had brought both honor and glory
to old Newberry during the past year,
and under the auspices of the Athletic
association.
About 9 o'clock the grounds were
filed with happy couples, and few
minutes later the exercises were
opened by Mr.. W. A. Reiser, who in
a few we'll chosen words stated that
the purpose of the reception was to
celebrate the victories recently won,
and that they would be reviewed by
he different speakers.
DR.. A. J. Bowers spoke Ell rthusiasti-
cally on Mr.. Charles P. Bar: rs cap
ture of the essay medal, giver annu-
ally by the South Carolina Intercol-
legiate press association, and Mr.. H.
S. Petrea's winning of the St&te ora
torical medal The talents e these
young men were praised and he con-
graduated them on the honor tAey had
brought to their alma mater.
Mr.. A. N. Keiffer, of this years grad
uating class, spoke next, and after Of
fering his excuses for being sandwich
ed between two members of the facul-
ty, he told of the victory of Mack
and Back" at Spartanburg. and how
they outclassed, in every department
of the game, their many opponents.R
K. Wise, who once got three-bag-
ger, did not play, but was the guardian
of the lucky bug. Last, but not least
he told of Prof Settlers loyalty to
the team and though he was not in
Spartanburg in person he was there
in spirit more than any of the students
or other members of the faculty
"Sut" next discussed the basketball
team thoroughly and not one of them
escaped his complimentary tongue
from Captain Wolff the moon winder
to Red" Becker, Atlanta's choicest.
He also paid high tribute to Prof.
Voigt, who took seemingly hopeless
bunch and turned it into the fastest
squad of goal throwers that has ever
toured the State.
Prof. Voigt reviewed the past sea-
son in baseball and truly said that
from the lowest prep to the most dig
nifed senior; from big" Yonce to
Vice President Ernest, including the
most sedate members of the faculty
the question ever upon our lips was
not, whats the lesson for tomorrow, u
but, Whats the scorer" He spoke
briefly of the great catching of Shealy
and Mayes; the wonderful twirling OF
Miss" Edison and "Nigger" Epting;
the brilliant work of Smeltzer, Boozer,
Becker and Keitt, in the infeld; and
the sensational fielding of Floyd, Wise
and Perritt in the out-feld.
The loyalty of the scrubs, who day
after day came out to put the varsity
in trim without any hope of reward,
was praised to the highest; the sup
port of the student body, both fnan-
cially and in roofing, was compliment
ed.
AS a fitting close to the exercises he
called Prof. w. T. Rountree forward
and thanking him in the name of the
association for his services, which he
willingly gave without hope of re-
ward, and assuring him that as long
as Newberry college existed there
would always be a place in it for him.
he presented him with beautiful sill
yer loving cup, the gift of the associa-
ton The students then rendered a
few of the college songs, after which
refreshments were served. The recep-
ton was a pronounced success and no
less than two hundred and fifty per-
sons enjoyed the evening delightfully."-
1t may be interesting to some tc
know that the Scarlet and the Gray
have won every honor in the State
with the exception of the poem medal
and the short story medal, which are
held by Due West and Wofford, re-
spectively. This is a record never be-
fore excelled or equalled by any col
lege in the State.
