Another Hard Year’s Labor Finished and the Young Ladles Return to their Homes. Class Hay Kxerclses Tuesday. -A Beauti ful Art Exhibit.—Play from Shakespeare. Tuesday at Limestone was class day—the day above all others when the seniors reign supreme. They were in possession of everything— even the faculty to< k back seats with the sophomores while the ‘ fresh” hi . under the benches and the specials (eub-fresh) took to the woods. The juniors, trembling, came on the op posite of the rostrum and although clad in the simplicity of white dared to look and breathe defiance at their superiors.' The seniors, 21 in number, are as fine looking, healthy a class as ever wore the “gown and cap,” Culture and refinement are indelibly stamped upon their features. Every one of them is the possessor of black or dark or wavy hair, rather a queer coinci dence among u class so large. Physi cal culture has developed body as well as mind, and the broom, woman’s weapon, in their hands will “in sun shine use the brushy part; in storms the other end.” In the morning at 10:30 there was an address of welcome by Miss Corrie Belle Napier, president of the senior class, and a response by the junior class president, Miss Elsie Neves, after which the following programme was carried out: Class History-Tragedy—Miss Mabel Waters. Class History-Comedy--Miss Banna Parsons. Class song. Delivery of the Perogative—Miss Macie Ezell. Response from Juniors—Miss Ma rion Satterwhite. Presentation of Robe--Miss Annie Edwards. Acceptance of Robe by Juniors— Miss Alice Dew. Class Song—Marion Wilks, accom panist. The oratior, were all delivered in good style and throughout the morn ings exercises there was manifestly a deep, abiding love for the alma mater, a splendid class and college spirit. Tuesday night Shakespt are’s ’Mid summer Night’s Dream” was present ed to an audience which tilled nearly every ^seat in Limestone’s spacius auditorium. Tne presentation was under the auspiceH of the senior class, with the following dramatic personae : Miss Mabel Waters, Theseus; Miss Ida Todd, Ejeus; Miss Nina Burriss, Lysander,; Miss Annie Earle, Dt met ritis; Miss Eulu Dobson, Bottom and Philostrale; Miss Li-ssie Mclnvaiil, Hippolyta; Miss Banna Parsons, Her- mia; Miss Bessie Ford, Helena; Miss Ethel Ford. Oberon; Miss Bessie Thompson, Titauia ; Miss Macie Ezell, Park; Miss Maud Martin, Peas-blos- som; Mis Marie Tnr er, MustarJ Seed; Miss Elmira Hardin, Cobweb; Miss Marion Wilks, Moth. This is the fourth play that has been given by the senior class this year. A steady improvement has been noticed in each succeeding peiform- ance, but an entertaii m nt so fin ished and admirable in every way as that of Tuesday night was scarcely to be expected. Occasionally there was some indistinctness of pronunci ation, but tbe action was all lively and tbe story of tbe play was made clear from first to last. Miss Ethel Ford and Miss Thompson with their attendant fairies, Miss Macie Ezell and otbeit, were very attractive. The action, grouping of characters on tbe stage, costunaing and in fact everything that goes towards making a good representation had received due attention. Tbe young ladies had no doubt done much bard work in preparatiou for this event, It is cer tain that their efforts are appreciated. The Production was In charge of Mrs. George Pratt Maxim and its success ful outcome was assured when she took charge. Wednesday afternoon one of th^ younger and most charming lady members of the faculty of Limestone college escorted The Ledger reporter through the mazes of the art exhibit. Tbe lighting of tbe large room in which tbe art works are displayed excellent. Tapestry, screens, pictures from still life and from nature, in crayon, oil, water colors and pastel are hung in artistic profusion, the grouping in all cases being good. Naturally our guide first directed our attention the work of the gradu atea of the Art department, Mies Marion Morgan and Miss Bertha I. Walker. There are some two hun dred (200) pieces on exhibition and of this number twenty-four (24) are by these two industrious art graduates. The Horse Fair (crayon), the Face Study (oil) and the tapestry by Mies Morgan deserve highest praise as do the Fruit (crayon), the Pink Roses aid ihe tapestry by Mies Walker. Miss Walker bad a Portrait and a picture called Anguish which did not appear to be entirely finished. After the finishing touches are given t.ie.-e two pictures will be of the highest grade of excellence In our opinion the best works done in oil after those already mentioned ihe Dutch M’fent by Alin -Marion .Satterwhite, Autumn by Miss Jr;s Kigsbes, t v 'uiet Smoke and Mcunlight by Miss Nina Burriss, Crysanths- mutns and F iibful Friend by Miss i Susie Durst, S: ow Scene by Miss Bird Crawlev, P aches by Miss Nellie Barton. Under this head the screens by Miss Barton and Miss Lois Ford deserve special mention. Among the best, works in crayon after those al ready mentioned are Roses and Bas ket of Peaches by Miss Florence Werls, Pharoab’a Horses by Miss Christine Gcudelock. Child’s Head by Miss Crawley, Kittens by Miss Sue Coker. In pastel Pink Roses by Miss Iris Rigsbee, Autumn in tbe South by Miss Lucy Barton, Lillies by Miss Coker and an enlargement of a small picture of Lake Fairfield, N. C., by Miss Louise Sarratt are tbe most ! nearly perfect. In water colors we , most highly esteem A (^uiet Beene by Miss Lois Ford and Pansies by -Miss Aureila Lodge. Mrs. Edna Harris, Mrs. Margaret Willingham and Miss Marie Alont- gomery have on exhibition a large number of pieces of hand painted China Mrs. Harris shows four cups and eaucers and one comport, the comport being especially fine. The dozen plates by Miss Willing ham and tbe dozen butter plates by Miss Montgomery are done in a high ly artistic manner. The work of all of the students was unusually cred itable. Id many cases marked talent was manifest. No art exhibition at the Charleston Exposition contained so many pictures of genuine artistic merit as are disolaved at the com mencement exhibit at Limestone Col lege. All went us merrily as a marriage bell at the faculty reception of last Wednesday evening at Limestone College. Nothing occurred to detract from tbe splendour of the event. The faculty as a whole with the president of the board of trustees, Capt. John H. Montgomery at the head, were 'n the receiving line. We were glad to see that the honored president of the institution, Dr. Lodge, had somewhat recovered from his illness and was able to grace the occision with his presence. The college was ‘‘all there,” and Gaffney and numerous friends of the college from other places united to make the reception notable. At 8 :30 the guesta began to arrive and from that time on until a late hour the college hails were thronged with groups of Jhappy conversationalists. Brilliant costumes were the rule. The whole scene was one of gaiety and happiness was beaming on every face, indicative of the general delight at the splendid strides the grand old coliege is making. Mrs. Cljirk Waring, whose beauti ful love for her Alma Mata which has been expressed in so many ways, has been a central figure in all the events of the commencement, and carries with her to her home, not only the continued love of her remaining class mates of 1 Soli, but the devotion, ad miration and love of the faculty and while student body of Limestone Col lege in 1902. Many distinguished visitors were present, among whom we recall Mr. and Mrs. J. K. Durst, of Greenwood; Ron. M F. Ansel, of Greenville; Hon. A. B Woodruff, of Woodruff, and Alaj. John W. Wilks, of Wilksburg. The audience Thursday night was probably larger than at any previous exercise in the auditorium. The invocation was offered by the editor of the South Carolina Baptist, Rev. A. McA Pittman, of Greenwood. Concerto, first movement, (Mozart), was most charmingly rendered by Msss Fanny Corry, accompanied by Mr. Geo. Pratt Maxim. Miss Lucy Barton sang “Say Yes,” by D'Hardelot. The diplomas were then presented by Capt. John H. Moutgomery, pres ident of the board of trustees. All c*ndidates for degrees were present save one. Miss Pawnee Jones. In all twenty-four cultured young ladies, the flower of South Carolina’s young womanhood, made their exit from college into life. Then followed an Impromptu for two pianos on a theme from Schu mann’s ‘‘Manfred," Op. GG, (Rein- ecke), by Misses Alice Dew and Lucye Littlejohn. The benediction was offered by Rev. Mr. Potter. Dr. Lodge was indisposed and un able to be present. It was nothing serious, simply succumbing to ner- veous strain of past few weeks, so ’twas said. Mr. Switxcr TleiMed With Uafftey. Mr. Morris Switzer, of Greenville, tbe proprietor of the Dixie Dry Goods, Clothing and Shoe Home of this place, while on bis way to the North ern markets, stopped over in Gaffney Tuesday night to visit his place of business. He seemed to be well pleased with the business done here during the short time his business has been established. Mr. Switzer would have been pleased to have stayed longer but desired he would not lose any time. He appreciates what the good people of Gaffney and Cherokee county have done for him. Mr. Switzer left Wednesday night for Lynchburg, Ya. After staying in Lynchburg for several days he will go to New York and from New York he will visit the greatest shoe market in the world—Boston He will re turn in about four weeks with the most up to-date line of grinds that has ever be* n I rought to Gaffney.
