PLEASING ,kDAY
ENTERTAINMENT
Chautauqua Was a Success
and Gets a Renewal
Contract.
Saturday evening brought to a
close the three-day series of en
tertainments of the Radcliffe
Chautauqua at The Brewton-
Parker, after a most successful
appearance here.
The entertainments, varied in
character, were very well attend
ed each performance. This sea
son’s program, while entirely
different from that of last year,
was thoroughly appreciated. It
would be difficult to pronounce
either of the events superior to
the others, hence it can only be
said that they were all good.
Before the closing engagement
Saturday evening the local asso
ciation was reorganized, on a
grander scale than heretofore,
and a contract for next year’s re
turn of the Radcliffe Chautauqua
was entered into. This associa
tion is composed of the business
men of Ailey and Mt. Vernon.
They have the interest of the ;
community at heart, and will pull)
together as never before. These ]
towns have a joint interest in the;
big school, and a more ideal loca
tion for the Chautauqua could
not be found.
The school authorities have
been especially liberal in their co
operation and a vote of thanks is
due them. The Chautauqua is a
benefit to the school and the
towns surrounding it, civically,
morally and patriotically. This
class of entertainment appeals to
every temperament, whether
child or mature manhood or wo
manhood —each finds something
to enjoy and uplift.
Mt. Vernon, Ailey and The
Brewton-Parker will look for
ward to the return of the Chau
tauqua next season, and before
the return date the local manage
ment will have organized for
greater interest and more effec
tive work. It has been a fi
nancial success to the promoters
and a season of entertainment
not to be forgotten by the people
of this section.

THE COLLEGIANS FOR
SATURDAY EVENING
Special Appearance Here to
Co-operate With Local
Management.
On Saturday evening, 7th, the
“Collegians” will appear at The
Brewton-Parker Institute. This
is a male quartet, and one of the
Redpath numbers.
In order for the public to un
derstand and appreciate the ap
pearance of this splendid com
pany at the local auditorium, it
may be said that the company is
an extra number to be sent here
by the Redpath people byway of
a fill-in engagement. In the se
ries contracted for, and which
was enjoyed by all, there were
four numbers, given during the
winter and spring.
On account of conditions which
could not be controlled, the local
management lost money. The
public, by extending a hearty
support to the “Collegians,” will
in a measure, reimburse the man
agement in its losses.
As a special inducement, the
reduced admission of 35 and 20
cents will prevail. Go out, en
joy a high-class entertainment,
and show your appreciation of
the efforts the local management
to give public something worth
while.

The Twelfth District school 1
meet convenes in Mcßae at the
South Georgia College, Thursday
and Friday, April 6th and 7th.
This great gathering of people in
tended in the upbuilding of
schools and the welfare of chil
dren, will mean much to the
school that entertains the crowd.
Such meetings are full of help
and inspiration to anyone who
has eyes to see and minds to un
derstand. We hope the town
people will encourage their chil
dren to go, and will attend some
of the features themselves. See
the features listed on another
page. May we not receive tnis
self-help next year by entertain
ing the contest of our district?
Only seven more weeks of
school! We still have plenty of
work to do. Let us “get to
gether”, “stay together” and
“pull together” more than ever,
and have perfect attendance, and
perfect punctuality these last
few weeks, for the last of school
moans as much to a child as the
first.
The Juniors are making plans
for their annual reception. They
rsalized quite a neat sum from
their tea room during the Chau
tauqua, so hope to have a swell
affair.
We observed “clean up day”
last Wednesday, and our campus
has presented a nice appearance
for several days. Won’t you
help keep it in this condition?
Encourage your child and friends
to lend a helping hand.
Miss Lowrey gave her music
class a very enjoyable picnic at
the brick yard Monday.
The Chautauqua was splendid.
The majority of our teachers and
students attended each enter
tainment and we feel doubly re
paid for any effort that we made.
So here’s a hurrah! and three
cheers for the 43 guarantors for
the 1918 Chautauqua.
Did you see the parade? It
was only a small demonstration
of the spirit shown at the ball
games. We had to be polite and
let our visitors win but just wait
until we go there.
