GRADUATIONS OVER I have attended four gradua tion exercises during the past two weeks, and about everything has already heen said about them, but I would like to add a comment ; about the Friends and Alumni luncheon at Newberry college on Sunday. The luncheon. served buffet style, was delightful and those who didn't takv advantage , of the opportunity to enjoy it really missed something. I hr only thing I could find amiss with the commencement exercises at Mae- Lean gymnasium was that those are AWFULLY hard seats for one and a half hour’s sitting. 1 thought perhaps it might he hot ter to have the exercises in a theatre, as was done at Lenoir- Rhyne, but on the other hand, that commencement didn’t have the “color” that Newberry had. Having the College singers i n their scarlet and gray robes, the members of the faculty in robes appropriate to their various de grees, and the seniors in the cen ter of activity, where they rightly should have been, added much to the impressiveness of the cerem ony. Perhaps the answer would be a community auditorium t o serve all of the people of th e county. Russell Speaks To Graduates Of Newberry College Sunday MR. HUNTER MR.
