BX. Mian Louise Nettles Busy Week of Commencement. For (bcr past week 6r ten days the chools have hold the center ol the t#ge in social activities. First was hf recital by the pupils of the music *<Jepartm6nt, then the Junior-Senior unquftt. And next the declamation contest. The baccalaureate sermon was preached Sunday evening at the chool auditorium by Bishop Finlay if the Episcopal church. The audl ?uxrium was capacti^jfUled with an hlicnce that enjoyed every phase of the' bishop's sermon 'given in such beautiful simplicity as to be under* stood and applied by each girl and lioy present. His discourse was "eld* ^ant' as simplicity, and warm as testacy;" his theme or subject, 'The Came of Life."- And he begged the young men and women of the grad uating class to play this game ac cording to rules, fair, square and honest, for it is impossible to cheat ^he umpire. ?For when Life's great scorer comes to write Against your name, ii will not be whether you have won or lost, Hut how you played the game." To play Jfor the team, forget the individual score and think first of humanity and the service they could render the nation and the world, for ihe happiness of men consists in life, and life in labor; the vocation of every man and woman should be to serve other people. Usefulness alone .?an bring us happiness. *?0 happiness! Our being's end and aim, Good, pleasure, ease, content, Whate'er thy name; That something still which prompts the eternal sigl\ For which we bear to live, or dare to die." & Next they must follow the stars. Take for example those who. had played the game to a successful finish, come out as victcfrs* with aurels justly Won, and at last pointed them to the one perfect example, the sne whoso teachings would enable them to win. I "A sermon of peerless glories bright, Which shall new lustre boasi, When victors' wreaths aftd Mon archs' gems Shall blend in common dust." These are not Bishop Finlay's words ' exactly quoted, but the thoughts we gathered from his ser mon. For the first time in the history <>f the school the graduates wore the regulation caps and gowns usually worn at a college commencement. Visitor Complimented. Miss Margaret Mills was the charming hostess at a bridge party Tuesday afternoon complimenting .Miss Elizabeth Geise, of Georgia, a Converse College girl, who is the iiudst of Miss Emily Wooten.
