MUSICALE.
A most eiijoyahle evening was sjient
on Saturday, May eleventh, at eight
o'clock hy all those who attended the
nuisicale given by this year's certificate
pu])ils of the music dejiartment of the
college. Those receiving oertiticates this
coniniencement. coming, are; Miss Ethel
DuRant. Piano; Miss Maibelle Pritchette,
Piano; Miss Allene Patton. Piano; and
Mr. (). M. Barnes, Voice.
The program was interesting and well
rendered from the ojiening number hv
Miss DuKant until the last notes of
Miss Pritchette's final number had been
struck. Numbers for the occasion, as
can be seen from below, were drawn
from the old school as well as the new and
represent a variety of studies.
.Miss DuKant made lier best impression
during her second api>earance, with a
waltz by Chopin and Glissando by Kneut-
zel. Miss Pritchette may lay the strength
of her appeal to her last number, Polichi-
nelle, “Carnaval Mignon,” by Schutt.
Mr. Barnes was especially good in “ Kv-
entide," by Metcalf, and also gave Bi
zet's Toreador song from Carmen in a
r.ianner highly cerditable to himself, while
Miss Patton’s success of the evening was
easily "Last Hope," by fJottschalk. Her
interpretation anil renditicm of this fa
vorite selection were far above the or
dinary.
ith this evening's program another
is added to the list of successes for this
scholastic year.

EXPRESPTON RECITAL.
Miss Marguerite Iseley, reader, assis
ted my Miss Frankie Mc.Veil, pianist, gave
a delightful program in the college chapel
Tuesday evning. May fourteenth. The
program represented a variety of studies
and Miss Iseley's manner of presentation
of the different numbers was all that
could be wished for. Her enunciation
was distinct, her voice, after the first
number was clear and resonant, making
herself easily understood in the farther-
est corners of the auditorium. Her ges
tures were easy and graceful, her stage
deportment good, the general effect high
ly complimentary to herself and the de
partment which slie represen'ed.
The scene from the Merchant of Ven
ice illustrating tlie choice of caskets by
Bassanio 'vas given in a real Shakes
pearian manner and made the audience
to rejoice with the successful chooser and
feel glad for his reward. Close to this
in point of impression made was, “The
Dau'ihter of Herodias,'’ which was well-
presented. “An Old Sweetheart ot Mine
can well claim its share of honors while
“Crossing the Bar,” formed a fitting
cimclusion to the evening and was given
in a manner highly ini|)ressive. A\e,
too, with Tennyson, hope to meet our Pi
lot face to face, when we have crossed
the bar.
The Litter number, given by Miss Mc
Neil re|>resented her best endeavor .’’-'r
the evening. This alded materialK ..i
the attractiveness of the program.
This e\ening’s program may be count
ed >a success of w'hich the department
should feel proud.

WE PART.
.Swiftly, gently, they are going,
Our school days are jjassing by
Lovel.v, lightly, ever flowing,
Vacation is drawing nigh.
(Quietly, anxiously waiting
For summer’s vacation days;
Not study halls we’re hating,
But let us hear Xature’s lays.
We would like to meet our loved ones,
And see our homes again.
We would like to talk of bygones
And walk through the shady lane.
We will miss you Professors all;
We will miss our student friends;
We’ll listen for the great bell’s call,
For this nothing can make amends.
l.o\ely First Sunday afternoons—
Xoble hours from three till five,
When we listened to “h(mey-bees” tu^es
At the “West Dorm’y” or “Bee-hive.”
On June si.xth truest friends will part;
Elonites will then separate,
Sadness will go from heart to heart,
And love for every college mate.
Thus our liearts are touched with sorrow,
When we leave our campus dear,
And again (m the bright tomorrow,
\Ve love you and dro|> a tear.
John G. Truitt.
Rescue the perishing,
Care for the dying,
Snatch them in pity
From sin and the grave.
