hard struggle went to the seniors
and juniors with a majority of two

The whole school was shocked
to hear on Sunday of the death of
the father of one of the best stu
dents in the school. John M. Crox-
toms father passed away last week
after a very brief illness. The son
left Sunday for his home in Ker-
shaw where he goes to a widowed
mother and several small brothers.
Our deepest sympathy goes out to
our bereaved adjutant. Cadet Cap
tain G. A. Horton accompanied Mr.,
Croxton as far as Columbia but hls
since returned.
The Easter holidays have ended
and we have settled down to two
months steady term. Only thr.e
boys have not yet returned and we
understand that they are kept away
from school by sickness.

No Pierian or Fidelian literary
society meetings held Monday as
the minstrels were busy decorating
the stage and rehearsing for the last
time.
We understand that the graded
school is to give their entertainment
on the 9TH of this month, and they
will hold it in the S. G. G. I. audi
torium. The children have been
practising faithfully for the past
month aud they promise to give the
visitors an enjoyable time. :.
The Cadet minstrel was a pro-
found success. All of the three acts
were greatly enjoyed and / am snre
everybody was satisfied. CongraLu-
lations to Capt. Taylor! The whole
school responded to the earnest in
vitation and were present. Quite a
few town folks were present but we
are sorry more did not come. Not
all of the seats were taken. Captain
Taylor announced that the proceeds
went to the athletic association. We
tender our thanks to the college or.
ceestra which kindly furnished us
with music between acts.
