Students Entertainment Best
Yet.

II Yet.
t This is the verdict of the public
in regard to the students entertain
ment given in the Edgefeld Opera
House on Thursday evening" This
year the programme was largely
made by the students themselves
and many of the numbers were spon
taneous and not given until the hour
arrived. More college spirit than
usual was manifested as the col
ileges were introduced, some of the
gifted students astonishing the au-
,dience by appearing in a role pre-
undreamed of by the public.
For instance, Edwin Folk came out
when the South Carolina University
'Nas called and gave a,vocal solo with
out piano accompaniment and did
it most cleverly.
* x winthrop had the largest num-
Der, this splendid Institution being
represented by five young ladies,
Misses Ida Folk and Janice Morgan,
this year graduates, and Misses Sara
Lyon, Corrine Clark and Mabel
Reel. These also favored the audi
.ence with a college song.
s Most of the colleges and acad-
:emies in our state ,sere represented
by one or more, and all took part
in the choruses. A number came
from twelve or more miles in the
country and could not be present to
rehearse for more than the choruses
and professional. About fifty stu
dents took part and the amount TAX
en- in at the door was $125.00
The first chorus was 81 Am Climb
ing Mountains" participated in by
all the students.
miss Annie Sue Broadwater, a pc
itite, pretty and. charming Student of
.Coker College, gave the Prologue
to the entertainment, saying that
three years ago, the Woman's Chris
tian Temperance Union of Edgefeld
had originated the idea of intro
ducing the college young men and
women to the people Of our county
'sl ~ sslle Edgefefd Opera House, tits this
being the third entertainment.
After giving the Prologue Miss
Annie Sue called out all the colleges
in review before the audience intro
ducing the students by name.
The first piano solo was given by
Miss Ouida Pattison, "Kamenoi-0s-
stow" by Rubenstein. Before begin
ming on the piano she gave the story
of the composition in a clear and
audible voice so that it was heard to
the remotest part of the hall. Her
performance and graceful introduc-
tion to it were very much compli-
mented and was a splendid advertise
ment of her Alma Mater, Anderson
College.
Following was a debate over
which Miss Janice Morganp resided
which Miss Janice Morgan presided
affirmative was represented by Miss
Florence Minis and Mr.. Francis
Simkins. Mr.. Simkins is a M. A.
graduate of Columbia University,
New York and is gifted in debate,
giving a very broad and progressive
view of the subject of Woman's
Suffrage, the view of thinker.
The negative was presented by
Miss Emmie Broadwater. and Mr..
Edwin Folk, both of whom displayed
gifts. Mr.. Folk has been distinguish
ed since his High School days for
his oratorical ability and the college
training has aided him in it's more
perfect development.
Miss Broadwater WHO took the
negative side, at the close of the de-
bate, appeared in front of the cur
tain and said very charmingly "Gen-
tlemen, / took the negative side OF
the suffrage question but didn't
mean word of it, ! am suffra-
gist." All college women nowadays
believe in the ballot for women.
Miss Margaet May was the next
piano soloist, giving LISTS Etude in
E Flat, very much to the pleasure
of the audience.
Miss Laurie Moore, student of
Chicora, and resident of Trenton,
