BANQUET
The Young People’s Christian Union
of the Clinton A. R. P. church, with
the Ora union as their guests, enjoyed
a banquet on Friday evening in the
spacious hall of Miss Nannie Young
Tribble’s home. After the guests ar
rived, outdoor sports, conducted by
Misses Evelyn Botts and Margaret
Blakely and Louis Russel, were en
joyed on the lawn. At ten o’clock the
doors of the home were opened and
all found themselves in the midst of
a banquet hall. The color scheme of
pink and white prevailed throughout.
Rev. C. Bynum Betts acted as mas
ter of ceremonies. The chief speaker
of the evening was C. A. Smith, who
created mucl^jmerriment by a witty
talk. As an encore he gave a humor
ous pianologue. A unique course, a
literary salad, consisted of lettuce a la
anecdote. These jokes were read con
secutively. This being the annual ban
quet, everyone was^ given opportunity
to speak.
As the hands of the clock were near-
inb midnight the master of ceremonies
realized that his farewell speech must
be given. His tallk was very helpful
and inspiring and also toiiched with
sadness when, at the close, he spoke
to the departing teachers and seniors.
He spdke'of their joy and help to the
church and the void made by their de
parture would be hard ta fill. In be
half of the departing teachers Miss
Bertha Gray Gallman expressed her
love for Clinton and especially the
little A. R. P. church. In closing she
remarked that if the teachers had
been of any joy and help to the church
they had reaped sevenfold enjoyment
and helpfulness from the church dur
ing their stay in Clinton. Jay Davis
gave the response in behalf of the de
parting seniors of P. C. He spoke of
the joy and help the seniors had de
rived from the church and that one of
his most pleasant memories in years
to come would be the memory of his
association with the band of thirty-
six Christian workers of the Clinton
Y. P. C. U. Thompson Smith of the
Ora union expressed the gratitude of
his organization in being the honor
guests at this occasion.
At the conclusion the Mizpah was
repeated.
We Believe In
Our College
Presbyterian College of South Caro
lina means much to the public schools
of Clinton by giving to those of lim
ited means an opportunity to contin
ue their education and by holding be
fore them throughout their high school
days this possibility of higher educa
tion. It is both an insjiiration and a
material help in their menUl and ath
letic development and gives our town
a finer high school. The spirit of mu
tual helpfulness between the coHege
and high school creates such great
j confidence that the high school gradu
ates enter the college almost in a body
each fall, giving our community con
tinuous education of the highest type.

Pauses to Honor Confederate Dead
In Memorial Day Program. Me-
Sween Pays Tribute To
Glorious Cause and
Leaders.
A large crowd gathered Sunday
afternoon for the annual Mem- j
orial Day exercises held in honor of
departed Southern heroes of the Con-1
federate war as graves were decorat
ed with wreaths of flowers, and the i
Rev. John MeSween, president of
Presbyterian college, paid a mighty
tribute to those who fought under the
leadership of great and glorious lead
ers.
The exercises began at 4:30 and
were held under the "auspices of the
local Steven D. Lee chapter, U. D. C.
After the graves had been decorated |
the procession marched to the First |
Presbyterian church where Mr. Me- j
Sween delivered the address of the |
day and was a discourse marked by
originality of thought, fervent pa
triotism and eloquent eulogy. He
spoke in glowing terms of the brav
ery and glory of the Southern soldiers
and discussed the price paid‘for the
liberty of the United States by these
men. He spoke eloquently of the
great work that was done by the wo
men of the Confederacy and of the
patriotic efforts of the United Daugh
ters who are keeping alive the mem
ories of the heroes of*, the 60’s.

Sons At College
Presbyterian college for 49 years
has been one of our greatest assets.
Founded on lofty ideals, it has through
this long period been pperated as a
Christian institution exerting a great
moral and intellectual influence in the
community. Surely, therefore, we are
all interested in the campaign soon
tc be waged for our own child.
Who can estimate its value? What
a great blessing it has been to our
fathers and mothers with sons to edu
cate. I
The membership of this organiza- j
tipn is heartily in sympathy with the
college drive. As citizens we should
all show our appreciation of the col-1
lege, its work, and its position during j
the aprcaching campaign. !

Season Tickets
Are Economical
The sale of Chautauqua tick
ets is now on. If you haven’t
purchased, do it today.
Tnose who are planning to
attend Chautauqua next week
(and that means everybody) are
remindet that the total cost of
the combined numbers of the
regular program amounts to
$10.89, including taxes. If the
season ticket is purchased the
price, again including taxes. Is
only $.3.30. It will be seen that
more than two-thirds of the cost
of individual tickets is saved by
purchasing season tickets. It
should be emphasized that the
season ticket places the cost* of
each performance, or entertain
ment, at about twenty cents, or
•less than an ordinary movie, or
about the equivalent of a pack
age of cigarettes.
