Prof [J L] MOULDER announced the program. It consisted of a recitation by Miss PITTMAN, a solo by Miss [Verna?] FAUCETT, a reading by Prof LITTLE and two recitations by Mrs WRIGHT. All were thoroughly enjoyed and applauded. A number then engaged in progressive flinch, while the younger set were entertained on the second floor. Later refreshments were served around a lovely table in the dining hall. Miss Nora WRIGHT acted as hostess, assisted by Miss Lurline GRIFFIN. There is occasion for congratulations all around.

Among the special features were a solo by Miss [Verna?] FAUSETT, a paper by Miss DUNKIN and an address by Mr [J L] MOULDER. The subject was “The Sacred Sabbath.” While it was being studied, we regret to say that this holy day was being profaned by the unclean language of certain other young men congregated on the streets.
