Old Program Of Com
n1encenrent July I 1875
CContinued from Pc h

NOOHbnluCu lIUul age
ment the Stage Committee was Ed
die Robinson and Richard Hall; the
ushers were, Samuel Hargis, John
Clarke, Willie Foley, and Woodland
Coston.
The program of the day was made
up of essays, dramatic sketches, a
debate, and music. Mamie Merrill
was salutatorian; Annie Henderson,
school historian; and Harry Stevens,
valedictorian.
Florence Milbourne, Willie Dickin-
son, Venie Hearn, Hattie Hall, Willie
King, Lizzie Cuff, Minnie Dickinson
and Joseph Jones, all had essays. Ev-
erett Long, Thomas Walters, John
Blades, Calvin Long, George Sartor-
Jus, Loire Quinn, Charles Council,
Harry Dickinson; Eddie Bonneville,
Richard Hall, Annie Faulkner, MOllie
Crammer, Dora Duer, John Clarke and
Charles Speights, were characters in
short skits; while John McMaster,
Edward Clarke, Francis Young, Aus
tin Merrill, and Eddie Robinson, en-
gagged in a debate on the question:
"Is Poetry Prejudicial to Success"
1t would be interesting to know how
five debaters were arraying as to af-
firmative and negative sides; but they
did things in those days.
Advertisers on the program were
William S. Dickinson, dry goods; 1.
H. Merrill, clothing; F. H. Dryden,
hardware; E. Fontaine, drugs; E. G.,
Polk, merchant tailor; Mrs. S. A.
Mason, candies; Mrs. A M Hall, mil
liner; Quinn's Fertilizers; and A. P.
Barnes, attorney at Law.
There are 81 names on the program
including the advertisers. Of these
only are now living. These are:
Mrs. Fanny Handy, nee Matthews;
Miss Venie Hearn; George Sartorius;
Loire Quinn; Charles Council; Charles
Speights; Edward Clarke; and Mrs.
Minnie Wolverton, nee Dickinson. All
these except George Sartorius, Loire
Quinn, and Charles Speights, live in
Pocomoke City. Sartorius lives in
Baltimore; Quinn, in Crisfield; and
Speights on farm in Somerset Coun-
ty; and Mrs. Wolverton, in Stockton,
N. J.
The printing work of the program
was done by the Record and Gazette,
"the cheap printing house." The ed
itor in those days was Mr.. A. J. Mer
rill, if the writer remembers correct
Iy. The program is a four-page folder
and is very creditable piece of work.
The type is we'll selected in large and
small caps and italics, and the border
is done in red, which through the
years shows it has not been subject
ed to much strain in the way Of sun
light to tone down the color. Alto
gether, it is d very interesting docu
ment to those who can go back to

No Blackout OF Faith

A blackout doesn't dim the stars,
It only makes them seem more bright;
So, as the war clouds blacker grow,
Let's keep the star of faith alight.
Let Us keep faith with "Uncle Sam, )"
And stand behind him, one and all;
With right, and might, upon our side,
Dictatorship will have to fall!
There IS no place for fear and doubt
Faith is greater power by far!
Fear is a futile, puny thing,
And doubt has never won a war.
When hardships come, as come they
may,
No need to grumble or repine;
Should we DER trifles fret and fume
When men are on the battle line?
Let's pull together, come what may,
And take the bitter with the sweet;
With unity, and faith, and prayer,
There is no foe we can't defeat.
Let's blackout panic, fear, and doubt,
And turn our faces toward the sky,
Where, through the darkness, bright
ly CLEANS
The star of faith-don't let it die!
