Munic Recital at Camden School, r J
The recital given at the school
? auditorium last Saturday evening by
the pupils of the Music Department
if the Camden Schools was an en
joyable affair and a success in eVery
particular reflecting credit upoi)
pupils and teacher. A Ipng and in
teresting program was presented and
wc regret that space and time does
not permit us to mention each of the
< harming lassies and the one gallant
lad, George Rhame, Jr., who won such
generous and well deserved applause.
All acquitted themselves with so
much honor and wonderful praise
that we 'feel that it would be unfair
to make an exception. However, we
are sure that all will pardon us for
placing a tiny laurel in the way of a
tribute, in the wreath of little Mary
Wooten, the baby and midget' of the.
?lass, who displayed wondorful talent
for one of her tender years. The,
ontire class showed excellent training
and not only their parents but Cam
den is proud of them, for their culti
vated talent will mean much to the
community through the coming years.
Ruskin says: "Music is the nearest at
hand, the most orderly, the most deli
cate and the most perfect of all bodily
pleasures. It is also the only one
which is equally helpful to all ages
of man."
Miss Johephine Alexander of In
dianola, Miss., is the teacher and this
is the second year she has taught in
the Grammar Schools. A graduate of
Converse College, perfectly capable
and also conscientious, her efforts
have been crowned with wonderful
success. School officials, patrons and
turn after the summer holidays,
pupils hope for Miss Alexander's re
Should she decide otherwise, it would
be a distinct loss to Camden.

Camden Girl Wins Praise,
i
In its account of the Senior class
play at Winthrop College, "The John
sonian" has the following to say of'
Miss Betty Haile which will be read
with interest by her. many friends in
Camden:
"Betty Haile as the princess added
yet more laurels to her dramatic
achievements. She was lovelier than
any loved* princess in the fairy tales.
To praise her is impossible. Her
acting was of that superb excellence
which defies praise or any attempt
at praise."

The final declamation contest for
1924, Camden High School, for
Johnson'? medal was held Tuesday
evening in the* school auditorium and
rejected much credit upon pupils and
teachers. The artistic elocutionary
talent of Miss Mary Black well was
easily recognized in the well trained
pupils and in our opinion no depart
ment in the school has made greater
progress than has this one under Miss
Black well's skillful and efficient man
agement. "The Watchman" by Miss
Miriam Bruce was long, difficult and
well rendered. Donald Uarnes has
the making of an orator in him and
won sincere and generous applause
when he gave in a most creditable
manner, "Americans of Foreign
Birth." lifisH Gladys West displayed
wonderful talent in her rendition of
"gtuff o' Dreams," and Charles Lorick
not only made a line speech when he
delivered "The Scholar in Politics"
but also made a telling plea for
education. Miss May Stockton
Clarke, who was to have ben a con
testant; was absent on account of
sickness. Gate wood Workman, know
ing that much was expected of him,
did his best in "A Nation's Soul" and
won second place in the opinion of
the judges and Gatewood also has to
his credit the winning of the John
son medal last year. Little. Miss
Clare Bruce captured the audience
with her charming naturalness and
wonderful poise as she told "How
Dorothy Saved the Coach," and we
predict for her a bright future in the
realm of elocution. In the opinion of
the judges however Morris Mogulescu
in his "Speech at Grave of Unknown
Soldier," was the legitimate winner
of the Johnson medal, and Miss Eliza
beth Clarke in her beautiful rendition
of "White Azaleas" won the Declama-r
tion medal given by the school. The
awarding of these medals is Sufficient
proof of what the judges thought of
the talent1 that won them. The judges
werer Mesdames W. H. Hodges, N. R.
Goodale, Misses Leila Shannon and
Louise Nettles and Mr. E. J. Trotter.
"Men are polished through act and
. speech,
Each by <Jach,
As pebbles are smoothed on the
rolling beach."
An<^ we echo the sentimept of Mr.
W. A. Clark, Jr., that other public
spirited citizens may find it in their
.hearts. to offer medals to fire the am
bition of high school pupils for the
continued cultivation of this art, for
few speeches which have produced an
electrical effect on an audience can
bear the colorless photography of a
printed record, therefore a good
speaker means much to our state and
nation.
Marriage of Interest.
The following announcement has
been received by relatives and friends
in Camden: ?
"Mr. and Mrs. Caleb Clarke
Moore announce the marriage of their
daughter, Camilla Agnes, to Mr.
Francis Ernest Gay, on Wednesday,
the sixteenth of April one thousand,
nine hundred and twenty-four lit

The bride is a native of Camden,
leaving here in childhood with her
parents to make their home in New
York City. She i,s the grand daugh
ter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Thomas
Ancrum and. the late Dr. and Mrs. A.
A. Moore. Dr. Moore at one time a
beloved physician of the town, is still
lovingly remembered and a wide cir
cle of friends will be interested in this
^announcement. The yotfthfal liride'
visited relatives and friends in her
native town a few years ago and was
very much admired.
