WELCOME
The “Golden Jubilee'’ of the Thorn
well Orphanage, beginning tomorrow
evening, will draw' hundreds of visit
ors to our city for the coming week.
The occasion is an extraordinary
event, commemorating as it does the
fifiticth anniversary of this great in^
stitution. From all sections alumni
and alumnae will gather on the his
toric campus for the week’s • reunion,
to recall the good old days of yester-
day, to reflect upon the noble history
of Thornwell, both past and present,!
In short’ it is to be a red-letter week'
to the fofmer orphanage boys and |
givls who love this institution in aj
pecirfiar way.
The coming of this gathering of
splendld-'men and women should do
our hearts good.
