(Continued from First Page.) every body was pleased with the manner in which he conducted the the contests. In the individual contest Cadet Minhinnette won after a hard battle with his fellow comrads. He was enthusiastically congratu lated and some of his strongest friends shouldered him around the campus amid cheers of entire audience. These contests proved conclus ively that the military feature of Gordon Institute is very valuable and is entitled to the warmest support of the patrons of the school. THE REUNION AND BANQUET. One of the important features of the commencement season was the Alumni reunion and banquet held Monday evening. When the time arrived for the exercises to begin, the auditorium was literal ly packed with people. To start with there was a beautiful chorus hy the local Alumnae, after which “The Moonlight Will Come Again,” a lovely quartette, was sung by Misses Mabel Veal and Maud Patillo, and Prof. Oliphaut and Dr. Kemp. Mr. F. M. Stafford was master of ceremonies. He paid a splen did tribute to Hon. T. W. Hard wick, the first speaker, \jho had come fresh from a warm but suc cessful contest for congress from the Tenth district. MR. HARDWICK SPEAKS. Mr. Hardwick, _in beginning, laid that he felt that he was just coming back home and he had come with no set speech, but he wanted to say a few things right out of his lieftft. He spoke of genius and said it was only ca pacity for hard work which would always bring success. Mr. Hard wick spoke earnestly for educa tion, especially for the education of the white children of Georgia and of the south. The address was not long but it was good and well delivered and was frequently applauded heartily. MISS BI.ALOCK SPEAKS. Mr. Stafford stated that Gojdon Institute had distinguished daugh ters as well as distinguished sons, and one of these was Miss Annie Blalock, of Boston, Mass. She spoke interestingly on the subject of “Education for the art of life.” She pleaded for education in its highest sense—physical, mental, and spiritual developement. Miss Blalock made quite a good impres sion and her address was frequent ly cheered. ELECTION QE OFFICERS. Following the two addresses, the audience was dismissed and the alumni associat ion held a bus iness session. About the only thing done was the election of officers for the ensuing year, which resulted as follows: Mayor Smith, president: Mrs. J. L. Hunt, vice president: Mrs. Shi Gray, secreta ry; Mrs. J. R. Jordan, treasurer. THK BANQUET. The banquet was spread in the four aisles of the old building and was a scene of great interest from this time on until twelve o’clock. Everybody was in a good humor, the surroundings were happy and inviting and no feature of commencement more enjoy able than this. The local alumnae had made every preparation necessary to the success of the event and everyone showed full appreciation. The menu was elaborate, and the plans were perfectly carried but. Mr. F. M. Stafford was toast mas-! ter aud all of the toasts were ap propriate and greatly enjoyed. The following were the toasts responded to: Our Founder —Mr. A. A. Rose. The Trustees —Mr. Edward Elder. The Faculty—Prof Carl Anderson. Our Military—Col. \V. R. Turner. The Alumni—Col. E. A. Stephens. The Alumnae —Miss Carrie Cham bers. Our Girls —Miss Sallie Candler. Cities 1902—Warren Woodward. Considerable enthusiasm was created for Gordon Institute and it is clearly demonstrated that the alumni reunion and banquet of 1902 is going to result in much good. JUNIOR DAY EXERCISES. Notwithstanding the warm weather a large audience bad as sembled Tuesday morning when the hour arrived for the Junior day program to begin. The exer cises, as were all the exercises of the week, were interspersed with music by the pupils of the music department, which is always an attractive portion of the occasion. The following were the speakers and readers from the Junior class. Miss Carrie Elder, BarnesvjHe, Da -‘‘The Famine ” Miss Lucy Floyd, Brent, Ga ---“How The La Rue Stakes Were Lost. Miss Pearl Lifsey, Barnesville, Ga —“Ber- nardo del Carpio.’’ Miss Nelle Smiley, Barnesville, Ga -“Flying ; .Tim’s Last Leap. Miss Georgia Williamson, Barnesville, Ga — “Hiawatha’s Wooing Henry L Covington, Jr , Pensacola, Fla.- “Let the Philippines Go.” MR. ESTES’ ADDRESS. The address of Col. Claud Estes was one of the best things of this commencement. It was tilled with thoughts that will be an in •piration to a higher and better life. Col. Estes dwelt with four phases of life, the relation of the young to the home, to society, to business and to the church. He dwelt at some length on each of these subjects. He told what a true home was and illustrated it by telling of his experience last year in stopping at an humble home among the mountains of North Carolina. The husband and wife had raised a family of obedient and upright children and it was a place of happiness. When night came the bible was read and prayer offered. Col. Estes made an impressive incident of this and it will accom plish much good. His appeal to the young people was very earnest and the address was greatly appre ciated by the ybung and old. PRIMARY ENTERTAINMENT. For many years the entertain ment by the primary department has been the most largely attended. Every body wanted to see the little folks in their brownie and fairy costumes and hear them sing and watch their amusing conduct on the stage. This year was no ex ception for Tuesday evening the auditorium and gallery were pack ed full of people and the exercises proved to be as interesting as any that Gordon Institute ever got up for such an occasion “The Sleeping Princess” was presented by about a hundred little people all of whom centainly rellected credit on themselves and their trainers. It was an old fairy story, which was dramatized for this commencement by Mrs. A. M. Lambdin and Miss Kathryn Lock hart. It was a good show from start to finish and everybody was delighted. The Gypsy Revil by second grade girls was also very good. Of course beautiful music, vocal and instrumental, added its important part to the success of the splendid evening's program. Well done, all who had a hand in the primary entertainment. SENIOR DAY EXERCISES. • The Graduation day exercises began at 10 o’clock Wednesday morning. This, after all, is always the important day, especially to the members of the senior class and their friends. The following compose the senior class of 1902: MISS VANXIE HUNT, Milner.

Her playing has demonstrated that she is quite a talented and accomplished musi cian. A GREAT ADDRESS. President Oliphant introduced the orator of the day, Rev. H. S. Bradley, who is well known to all the people here. The subject of the address was “Altruism,” or “The Man Who Gave Himself Away.” It was unquestionably one of the greatest addresses ever delivered in Barnesville, possibly being superior to “Wendling’s famous lecture on the “Man of Galilee.” At the close of the address, President Oliphant made a num ber of announcements and statements about the school, which were listened to with interest. THE DRAMA. The Drama, “Esmeralda,” Wed nesday evening closed the com mencement, which every one says has been one of the most pleasant and most successful ever held by Gordon Institute.
