NOTES AND COMMENTS The music recital Friday night, under the management of Misses Glasgow and Harris, was one of the best and most enjoyable yet given here. The program was well rendered and elicited much applause from the large audience present. The selections were good and the manner in which they were executed attested the effi ciency of the splendid training the pupils of this department have received. While all were good the vocal duet of Misses Passie Harris and Kate Wood all especially delighted the au dience. Of the entire commencement program nothing was enjoyed more than the choruses sung by the young ladies of the ninth grade. These special features were presented under the direc tion of Miss Passie Harris, whose talent and skill along this line are unsurpassed. "Beautiful Spring" and 'The Merry Miller" each received hearty encores. Another feature of the exer cises that was pleasing in no small degree was the Tom Tbum 1 Wedding. This was given by the little boys and girls of the first and second grades, under the direction of Miss Katie Lee Banks. These little folks, the beaux and belles of the future, in full evening dress, marched on and off the stage to the strains of wedding music with the ease, grace and dignitv that won the admiration of all present. The Flag Drill, by 83 beautiful girls, was a fitting climax to Tuesday evening's splendid pro gram. Their teacher, Miss Flossie A bell, is to be congratulated for the success of this beautiful yet difficult drill. The girls came on the stage in fours, bearing the flags of nations they represented and keeping time to the music of their country's national hymn, j Last to come on the stage were the young ladies representing the United States, bearing proud | ly aloft the Stars and Stripes and singing the "Star Spangled Ban ner," all the others joining in the chorus. The pantomime, "Itock of Ages," was beautifully executed, under the training of Miss L'ucie Webb. Standing on the stage was a cross to which one of the girls was clinging, as though she fully realized it to be her only hope. As the beautiful and soul inspiring words of the grand old hymn, "Rock of Ages" was sweet ly sung the twelve girls sur rounding the cross interpreted the meaning of the words in graceful pantomime. Another feature which elicited much applause was the sunbon net drill, by twelve little girls, under the direction of Miss Mamie Ellis. How they were able to go through the devious and difficult windings of this beautiful drill with so much ease, and without mistake is land to understand. It was one oi the best features of the program and showed the careful training of a patient teacher. Thecontestsin declamation and recitation Wednesday night was one of the best in several years. The boys and the girls did well and showed excellent training. Lack of space forbids our men tioning each separately. Much interest was taken in the contest for the essayist's medal, given by Mr. T. J. Lassiter, for the best paper on some subject in North Carolina. There wore night contest"n4- '' and ijiu.:h ?oou work wus uoue. Miss Messie Coats, daughter of Mr. D. M. Coats, who lives near town, won the medal. The subject of her paper was "History of the Regulators in North Carolina." The other subjects used were "History of Johnston County" and "'NorthCarolina's Resistance to the Stamp Act." Mr. Lassiter will give a gold medal at thenextcommencement for the best narrative, or story, based on some incident in con nection with North Carolina history. The conditions of the contest will be announced at the opening os the school in Septem ber. During the year 200 pupils were enrolled and the average attendance was about 200 The superintendent and teachers are to be congratulated for tbeexcel- ? lent work done in all tirades j Misses Glasgow and Harris have had a large class in music and the progress of their pupils js convincing evidence that the .young ladies at the head of the music department are most ex cellent teachers.
