The closing exercises of the sum
mer school last Friday night at the
auditorium consisted of a rcadln g
contest for the prize offered by the
Westminster Bank. There were
twelve contestants, and the prize was
given Miss Davis, teacher from
Pickens county j. Paul Stribling,
of Richland, the promoter in secur-
Ing the medal, presented the same in
characteristic style, and while q
crowd Is never unanimous in this
kind Of thing, the sentiment was
largely In favor OF the winning yis-
itor. The prize for the best speller
was given Miss Birdie Smith, OF
Bounty Land, the prize being a
medal offered by DR.. John Hopkins.
This contest came off Thursday, and
out OF the one hundred difficult
words Miss Smith spelled them all
correctly. In fact, we believe Miss
Smith made a perfect record in
spelling during the term. We want
to say that with the large number of
visiting students and instructors
there existed always the utmost har-
mony, and the summer school will
be remembered by our people with
great pleasure. On account Of the
to Clemson, and the band concert in
the park. which were planned for
the pleasure OF the teachers, had to
be called off. We hope, however.
that the summer school will come to
Seneca again, which Is the greatest
tribute we can pay it.

Reid IS a 1912 graduate Of Winthrop
and comes to us with the highest en-
dorScmcnt from the Rock Hill Col
'Gge, and our people are fortunate in
securing her to fiji the place held so
Ions and so ably by Miss Holland.
Robert Neil Is the latest addition
to our growing list OF autoists. We
