Tho class history was read by Jerome Beck and tho prophecy was successfully read and written by W. W- Sullivan, Jr. Both the history and the prophecy were I written in the same style that was used last year.-the ecrlctual form. The prophecy was exceedingly amus ing and the history of the class told ot ! the funny and otherwise things that bad happened to the present class. There two papers -were features ot the night. Delightful music was rendered by several ladies of tho Presbyterian . church. Tho music was enjoyed by every one. .After the .class exercises Mr. Fea therstone delivered the litorary ad dress to the school....

In his address, Mr. Featherstone paid a high tribute to Professor Lig ?n, his old schoolmaster of the days that were spent in Anderson. Mr. * Featherstone spent sometime ia . An derson at school and he said that An J err on was to him as tho women of he Titanic disaster. He told the joke .>f the Jews who were In the cloti ng business tn New York.

He at once investigat ed and found beneath the frilled gown and the dainty lace cap there lay tho orin of his partner, Isaac. He de manded an explanation of the .matter ind upon being awakend Isaac replied 'Remember tho -Titanic Mose, when .hat boat sunk, the cry was, ladies Irst!" Mr. Featherstone said that was the way. that Anderson always . ?ame with him. First forever. Mr. Featherstone said much on the question of tho Ul Iterate person who hap the ballot. He says that the un educated people - were misled by the cheming politicians and that nothing but a thorough education would pro duce the perfect state of government. He also stated that conditions how are n auch a muddle that tho most learn- . ul of politicians can hardly under tone! theta and that waa a sure'sign the poor, ignorant man had no' chanco vbatover, to make the right selec tion, yaven though he wanted to. Ho summed up the ignorance ot the Am Srican public in . very compact manner y. saying that Ignorance was a men ace to Ideal Citlzonship, but that,ed ucation wont band in hand with Ideal Citizenship.
