The selection of an All-City team this
year is probably the easiest of any pre-

6NHE deepest interest in the com
 menccment of the Judson college S is felt throughout Birmingham. nent families here had daughters there the past session and on account Of the numprr or graduates of that institute living in this city.
 The informal opening of commence ment exercises occurred when the seniors in the academy burned the chains which bound them to the academy and registered as college students for the coming session.
 As each girl broke her chain she cast into the fire her pet abonination,1 and in an original verse told of her trials in pursuit oi the study she gladly cast away.
 At G:30 o'clock was awarded the prize for the best stunt" of the session. This was given the faculty. purse containing s. The vote, as to what use shall be made of the receipts from the sessions stunts, and it was decided to pave the carriage way on the lawn.
 The regular exercises of Judson's eight sieth commencement began with the con- cert Thursday evening. The programme was opened and closed with most effee- tive numbers by the Glee club, in one of which, an American Indian song, by O. w. Cadman, Miss Katherine Herren of Birmingham was the obligato soioist. Other ensemble numbers were a sere- made by Slunicko for four violins and piano played by Misses Douglas, Hen drix, McCollum.

 The entire cast did good work, but special mention is due Miss Ida Ola Jar rell as the hero, Dick Howard, and Miss Ruth Chapman as the heroine, Elaine Poster. They held the sympathy of the audience throughout the play.
