JOHN b. GABBARD

John B. Gabbard, the son Of W. r.
and Samira Blanton Gabbard, was
born in Jackson county, September
s, 1895. He was killed at st. Mihiel,
France, September 18th, 1918. He
leaves a father and two. sisters, Mrs.
C. f. Montgomery Of Palm Dale,
California, and Mrs. Roy Harrison Of
Berea. His mother died when he
was seven years old.
Johnnie went thru the war as a
private at his own request. Promo
ton was offered him, but he begged
to be allowed to remain a private.
In speaking Of the possibility Of
his not coming back, he said: "Aun.
Grace, / could not die for a nobler
couse." His lieutenant said, "For
obedience, courage, and ability and
the. things that called for the best;
Johnnie was one Of those"
He was a runner that carried mes
sages TO and from the front, and
only the best were detailed for this
duty. He was killed by machine guns
while going over the top with his
comrades.
His body was brought from France
July 16, 1921. Funeral services
were held in the Berea Baptist
church. July II, 1921, Rev. Cunning
ham and Rev. Vogel officiating.
The returned soldier boys in Berea
gave him a military burial, and he
was laid to rest in the Berea GENE
terry beside his mother.

TWELFTH NIGHT"

The recital Of Twelfth Might"
Monday evening, July 18th, in the
College Chapel by H. L. Southwick
gave evidence Of two things. First,
il brought out the fact that Berea
people have an appreciation for the
best in literature. To enjoy the Shakes
pearian plays one must possess
degree of culture, or have a desire
to obtain it. The size Of the audi
ence and the wrapt attention on
Monday night spoke well for the
college and the community
This in turn evidenced that the ar
fist was a master in his presentation
Of the play. His task was no easy
one. Besides his delightful introduce
ton in which he stated the argument
of the play and briefly sketched the
character Of the main players, the
speaker recited in dramatic fashion
the larger part Of the play. Most
men have trouble enough to recite
brief quotations from Shakespearian
play, but the reader of Twelfth
Night" recited entire scenes from
each Of the five acts of the play.
The reader on Monday night did
more than merely recite the play.
He dramatized the various characters.
Olivia, the heroine, comparable to
Rosalind and Portia, appeared to rise
in our fancy, and her caprice made
her a source Of amusement and in
terest, without thought of reproach.
In most dramatic form the reader
presented Sir Toby and Aguecheek
with scarcely less emphasis on Feste,
the "most asinine" Of all the fools Of
Shakespeare, but who could say to
Marian, Better a witty fool than a
foolish wit" and to Duke Orsino,
Truly, sir, and pleasure will be paid,
one time or another"
The Ben Greet Company, and other
players Of comedies, require as many
actors as there are characters in the
play, but Mr.. Southwick presented
them all in mannerism, voice, and
act. It is easier to follow the cos
tuned actors on the stage than to fol-
low a reader where much is left 20
the Imagination and Interpretation of
the hearer. And yet the audience
followed Mr.. Southwick with as
wrapt attention as did the audience
the Ben Greet Company, who pre-
scented "As You Like 1t" in Richmond
few evenings before.
There is something delightfully."-
wholesome about the comedies Of
Shakespeare when one compares
them with much Of the lighter trashy
stuff Of our day on the stage and
the reel and in literature. Much that
is Objectionable on the stage and the
reel and in literature is happily alb
sent in the Shakespearian plays.
Many Of those present would like to
see Shakespearian readers and play
ers, the Ben Greet Company, II pos
sible, appear repeatedly in Berea.
This is wholesome desire, and the
management Of the platform will do
well TO take cognizance of il.

There still will be left, unless In.

One man who always played safe.
