Commencement of i8go—An
Evening of Pleasure.
The commencement season of 1890
of Young Female College is over.
The fever of expectancy and uncer
tainty that has held the graduating
class for the year in its thrall has pass
ed off. the expectancy has turned into
a pleasant reality, and the uncertainty
has become a pleasing realization. It
is not amiss to say in this connection,
that the teachers of the institution, as
well as the pupils, have reason to be
proud that the great event of the year
passed so pleasantly. It is no small
task to carry the burden of anxiety
that everything should pass off without
unpleasant features, and it is certainly
a burden to carry the responsibility
that belongs to such occasions.
Long before the hour at which the
exercises were to begin Tuesday even
ing, crowds begun to gather at the
Chapel. It was almost certain that
room would he at a premium, and
the prudent people determined to be
on hand in time.
At 8 o’clock the curtains undvr the
skillfull manipulation ol Messrs. 13. F.
Hawkins and J. M. Dreyer, rolled
back, and the audience and those that
had places on the stage faced each
other for the first time. ’Ihe trustees
and officers oi the college and a few
invited gentlemen had places on the
stage, and the auditorium oi the Chap
el was packed.
The exercises of ilic evening opened
with an appropriate and earnest pray
er by Rev. W. J. Williams.
The salutatory to the class and au
dience was read by Miss Fannie Wat
kins, and it was in good taste and well
rendered, ■ e-s- A,— —
Tnen cams music from a chorus
of sweet girl voices, and the audience
received it with satisfactoin and
cheers. The essay, "Exhausted Tal
ent,” by Miss Annie Carrol! was
warning against that precocity of
talent which works its own exhaustion
without achieving much for the world.
Miss Annie has a pleasant voice and
a fine delivery.
“Memory,” the essay read by Miss
Ruby Vann, was full of pleasant
thoughts, clothed in fine language, and
was well rendered.
The song “Nightingale Trill,” by
Miss Norma Rike, was one of ttic
pleasantest features ol the program.
Miss Rike has a voice of great sweet
ness and volume, and its cultivation
shows that “lie has hail careful in
struction.
The essay, "’Tis distance lends en
chantment to (lie view, and clothes
the mountains in the azure line,” as
hivie Pittman, was
recitation, “Hay Making,” in a charm
iug and taking way.
The essay, “History’s Trinity,” The
Sword, the Cross, the pen, by Miss
Ella Stuart, was full of bright
thoughts framed in appropriate lan
guage, and was rendered in a confi
dent manner, that marked Miss Ella
asenc of the best css.iyists of the eve
ning.
“An Old World through Young
Eyes," tlie essay read by Miss Fannie
Watkins, was one of the best of the
evening. Miss Fannie was thoroughly
en rapport with liersubjcct, and if she
can only always see the world as she
docs now, she will lie satisfied, and so
will her friends.
The recitation of the charming po
em, "Baby Bell,” by sweet little An
nie Patten, was one of the most en
joyable features of the whole evening’s
entertninment.
The instrumental Duet hy Misses
-Mary Stephens and Ruth Mitchell,
was well executed, ami received hearty
applause.
Miss Annie Carroll read the vale
dictory to trustees and faculty, and it
was touching in its referenses to the
happy days that had come to an end
with the graduating class. 1
The valedictory to the graduating
class was read hy Miss Li vie Pittman.
It was unique of its kind and excel
lent ns well, being in rhyme. It was
full of bright hits and marks a new
on such occasions in Thomas-
ville.
President Baker in a few touching
remarks delivered the degices to the
graduating class, and it was easy to
see that a feeling of warm sympathy
existed between teacher and pupil.
The chorus by tiny Misses Lizzie
Carroll, Rosa and Milly Flcisher, Eva
Jennings, Ollie Horn, Rosalie Levy,
Willou Thomas, Daisy Dekle, Daisy
Mitchell and Nellie Pringle was as
sweet as though one listened to strains
of music from fairyland.
The scene from "The Lady' of
Lyons,” in which Miss Annie Carroll
appeared as Claude Mellnotte
and Miss Ella Stuart as Pau
line, with Miss Sallie Harley as the
mother of Claude was a pleasing v.i
tton of the programme.
The tambourine drill in which
teen young ladies performed many and
sundry evolutions to the music of their
tambourines was thoroughly enjoyed
by the audience.
At tlie conclusion Rev. J. II. Her
Loner pronounced tlie benediction
and tlie pleasures of tlie evening
closed.
The annual concert come off last
night, of which a full account will
appear to morrow morning.
