for sixty-five years has been private
property, should be put upon a firmer
basis. In view of this fact and be
cause of their love and loyalty to
their college, they put on foot meas
ures looking to the purchase of this
school plant and placing it under de
nominational control. They appoint
ed a Committee to appear before the
Flat River Association at the coming
session and to state the plan they will
set on foot and to ask the aid of the
association.
The Alumnae renewed their alle
giance to their Alma Mater . and
spoke in warm and loving words of
the great work and high character of
those who have gone out from its
walls.
Miss Carrie Tom Farthing, North
side, N. C, was electedPresident for
the coming year and Mrs. J. A. Beam,
Bethel Hill, Secretary and Treasurer.
It was Mrs. Beam who conceived
the idea of putting this school under
denominational control.
"Twelfth Night"
One of the most delightful and in
structive features of Commencement
was the play, "Twelfth Night," pre
sented in the College Auditorium,
Monday evening by the Senior Class,
assisted by some members of the Ex
pression Class and studeaits from the
English department.
This vear special emphasis has
been placed upon the study of
Shakespeare in the class room and it
was but fitting that this play should
be given as the climax. Though the
plans for the performance out of
doors were frustrated by the rain, the
effect en the stage, made forest-ilke
by shrubbery and leaves, was most
effective. No curtain was used and
the entire play of five acts was given
without interruption, except slight
change of stage setting, as was the
original idea of the great English
Author.
From the entrance of the first act
ors, the audience was held with ease
by the dramatic and comic acting of
the players dramatic and comic in
the extreme.
The character of Viola was beauti
fully and oratorically represented by
Miss Minerva Jenkins of Siler City.
Miss Jenkins has the personal mag
netism and ability to express the
sweetness, playfulness, delicacy and
emotional depth of the character in
her disguise of court page.
'She
bore a mind that envy could but call
fair."
Miss Dorothy Royster who took the
part of Malvolio, the over-prosperous
steward, not only remembered
her lines most accurately, but inter
preted with a decided understanding.
The lady-like, but willful Olivia
and the romantic Duke Orsino, were
well played by Misses Flossie Nobles
and Marguerite Jenkins.
"Alcoholic Twins," Sir Toby and
Sir Andrew, moved the audience to
laughter many times by their drunk
em revelries, these characters being
represented by Misses Alta Boone and
Willie Jordan.
Other characters were well repre
sented by the following young ladies:
Miss Grace Boling as Fete, the clown,
Miss Blanche Surles as Maria, Miss
Loula Stone, Antonio; Miss Dora
Grice, Sebastian; Miss Tazzie Par
ham, Fabian; Miss Ruth Edwards,
Sea Captain; Miss Nannie Pearl
Knott, Valentine; Miss Laura Wells,
Curio; Miss Fannie Buchanan, First
Musician.
The directors, Miss Lulu I. Fisher
and Miss Lossie Stone, as well as
those who took part are to be con
gratulated upon the success of the
Play.
Commencement Day Exercises
On Tuesday morning at eleven o'
clock, a large audience, notwithstand
ing the rain, assembled in the chapel
of the college to enjoy these exercises.
The Senior Class, in cap and gown,
made a' pretty, as well as imposing
picture as they marched down the
aisle formed by a chain of daises and
roses held by the Junior Class.

Long Sweetnin'
(Kansas City Star.)
If sugar goes on soaring in price,
as it has done since the war began,
people may begin to think regretfully
of the "long sweetnin' " of the days,
before the war. In those days, in
this part of the country, "short sweet
nin ' was loaf sugar, which came
m chunks the shape oi a tall hat
'crown and was so hard that it had to
be broken with a hammer to get
pieces small enough to sweeten a cup
of coffee. "Long

ed thorough and satisfactory work in

Mantle of Senior Class
After receiving her diploma, Miss
Flossie Nobles, President of the Sen
ior Class, in a sweet and gracious
manner, presented Miss Dorothy Roy
ster, President of the Junior Class,
the robe which, she, herself, had been
wearing, the mantle of the Senior
Class.
It was an inspiring sight to see in
addition to the awarding of the a
bove diplomas and certificates, a class
of sixteen young women receive their
Convention Normal Diplomas, award
ed by the Baptist Sunday School
Board. This course was commenced
during the winter under the direction
of Mr. E. L. Middletoyi, Secretary of
the Baptist Sunday School Board of
North Carolina and Rev. J. T. Watts,
holding the same position in Virgin
ia, who for several days conducted a
Sunday School Normal in this Col
lege. We feel that these young la
dies deserve special credit for their
faithful study of the Bible in addi
tion to their many other duties.
Rev. G. T. Lumpkin presented
these diplomas in a pleasing and
happy manner.
Miss Nannie Pearl Knott, on be
half of the Senior Class, presented
in loving and appropriate words, the
stone seat, the gift of the Class of
1916 to its Alma Mater. President
Hobgood accepted this gift in words
which bore testimony to his pleasure
and appreciation.
Those were indeed fortunate who
had the privilege of hearimg the able
and forceful address delivered before
the two literary Societies of the Col
lege by the Hon. J. Bryan Grimes of
Raleigh. The many North Carolin
ians who listened to him, felt their
hearts swell with pride as he present
ed the past achievements, the pre
sent activities and the future possibil
ities of the "Old North State."
Exhibits
The many visitors who had the
pleasure of seeing the beautiful dis
play of fancy work, dresses, daiaity
lingerie and waists from the Domestic
Art Department, and those who wit
nessed the demonstration of cooking
in the Domestic Science Department,
will bear testimony that Oxford Col
lege is keeping abreast with her sister
colleges aaid schools in stressing the
practical side of a young woman's
education. In this connection, special
mention should be made of the work
in the Art Department done by the
young women takiuig the Course in
Free Hand Drawing, unis too, is a
practical feature, teaching prospec
tive teachers that phase of drawing
eo much needed and used in the
rooms of our Graded Schools today.
The display of hand-painted china,
as well as the other varied and beau
tiful works of art in this Department,
brought torth words or nignest ap
preciation and praise.
Annual Concert
The Annual Concert on Tuesday
evening fully sustained the reputa
tion of the Music aind Expression De
partments by its select and beauti
fully rendered numbers.
The Piano selections reflected great
credit upon Miss Hankins, the brilr
liant and popular Director of the
Music Department, and the Voice atnd
Expression numbers bore testimony
to the careful and efficient training
of Miss Fisher. In spite of the bad
weather, a large audience did honor
to the occasion.
All of the exercises were unusually
well attended, and with this Concert,
closed what in the opinion of many,
was the most satisfactory and enjoy
able Commencement in the history of
the College.
sweetnin'
was
sorghum molasses, commonly known
as "sorghum." Loaf sugar was so ex
pensive it was a luxury and was put
on the table only when "company"
came. But every taDie naa lis piicn-
er of sorghum, and mighty good it
was, too, especially on pancakes or
hot biscuit right after it was freshly
made in the fall.
In those days enterprising farmers
hereabouts planted patches of sorg
hum and made molasses by squeezing
the juice from the cane and boiling it
dowtn. Coffee became so scarce dur
ing the war that roasted grain was in
place of it; and people got along just
as well with that, sweetened with a
spoonful of sorghum, as they do with
real Java sweetened with granulated
sugar. It cost them little and they
knew that it was pure and whole
some.
Sorghum molasses is yet made on
farms,, in this part of the country and
it may be bought in the grocery
stores, but very little of it is uised in
comparison with its consumption in
the days of our grandfathers. Granu
lated sugar has taken its place.
Rheumatism
If you are troubled with chronic
or muscular rheumatism give Cham
berlain's Liniment a trial. The relief
from pain which it affords is alone
worth many times its cost. Obtain

AFTER GRIPPE
Urs. Findley Made Strong By Vinol
Severy, Kans. "The Grippe left me
in a weak, nervous, run-down condition.
I was too weak to do my housework and
could not sleep After trying different
medicines without benefit vinol restored
my health, strength and appetite. Vinol
is a grand medicine and every weak,
nervous, run-down woman should take
it" Mrs. Geo. Findley.
Vinol, our delicious cod liver and iron
tonic, sharpens the appetite, aids diges
tion, enriches the blood, and builds up
natural strength and energy.
