Commencement at Perry.
The commencement exercises of
Perry Public School last week re
flected- credit upon the teachers
and pupils and afforded pleasure
to all who attended.
The graduating exercises were
opened with prayer between 10
and 11 o’clock Thursday morning,
followed by , a class chorus. The
Salutatory was read byJMiss Mary
Lou Rainey and the Valedictory
by Miss Hallie Hemingway. Then
there were declamations, recita
tions and piano music, all well
rendered.
Hon. Robert E, Brown of Fort
Valley, delivered an excellent lit
erary address, forcefully display
ing the purpose and effect of class
room education. He then pre
sented the diplomas to the grad
uating class, as follows:
Miss Hallie Hemingway, 1st
honor; Miss Mary Lou % Rainey,
2nd honor; Misses Nona Cooper,
Julia Eubanks, Mary Davis, Ma-
die Davis, Kate Hurst and Ned
Davis.
The order in which the names
aye here given does not indicate
the class rank.
The floral offerings were many
and very pretty.
Thursday niuht Exercises.
The exercises Thursday night
embraced music, declamation,
recitation, flag motion song, a fan
drill, a Lilipution wedding, char
ades, etc.
Every feature of the program
was attractive, and the frequent
applause gave ample evidence
that the people composing the au
dience wore well pleased.
Those features rendered by the
smaller children, notably the Lil
ipution wedding, the drills and
recitations were received with ex
ceptionally expressive evidence of
approval.
Perhaps the most loudly ap
plauded feature was the music on
violin and cornett by the young
Misses Florence and Nellie Niles
of Marshallville; accompanied on
piano by their aunt, Miss Mary
Niles, These girls cannot be
more [than twelve and ten years
of age respectively, though the
music they gave was exceptional
ly good.
Though rain fell continuously
before and during the perform
ance, the audience filled the hal
beyond its seating capacity.
Musical Recital.
Friday night was fair, though
considerable rain had fallen dur
ing the day. Agaih the college
auditorial! was filled with people
of Perry and a considerable num
ber of visitors, The occasion
was the recital by the music class
of Mrs. J. W. Simmons, consist
ing of 22 girls, ranging in age
from 10 to 17 years.
In tuneful chorus, “The Sweet
Twilight Hour’’ was sung by the
larger girls of the class, begin
ning the program. Then follow
ed 'piano solos and duetts, vocal
solos, choruses, recitations, cor
net solo, etc.
The selections were all good,
and their rendition such as to
elicit cordial applause. In its en
tirety the recital reflected credit
alike upon teacher and pupils, all
the-girls, doing-so. well that we
dare not make any distinctions.
It is needless to say that the love
liness of the girls in their stylish
dresses was not the least attract
ive feature in this entertainment,
as well as in the other exercises of
of the commencement period.
However, we must give special
mention to the recitations of Miss
Mary Nelson of Oordele. Though
scarcely more than 10 years of
age, she gave evidence that she
had mastered the art of elocution,
and with a true grasp of the sub
jects, the worth and effect of in
tonation, jesture and expression,
she recited “The.Death of Minne
haha’’ and “Fra Gicoma” with
the ’force and grace of a veteran
artist. This exhibition was won
derful for one so young. She
was born in Perry, and the great
er part of her young life has been
spent here. She is a grand
daughter of the late F. A. Jobson.
The vooal solos were especially
well received, as was the cornet
solo, and the combination of man
dolins, guitar and violin. .
—InvRations have been issued
for the parriage at Elko of Miss
Elma Houser and, Mi*. William
Oscar Gaines, on the itth of this
month.
Protracted Religious Services.
Since last Monday afternoon
religious services have been held
twice daily at the Perry Metho
dist church, at 5 and 8 o’clock p.
m.
Rev. j. M. Glenn of Macon is
assisting the pastor, preaching at
each service, He is earnest and
faithful, presenting the gospel of
Christ, with faithful zeal.
So far the congregations have
not been as large as the occasion
deserves, yet there is reason to
hope that a genuine revival of
Christian thought and action will
result in the convsersion of some
who have not heretofore been pro
fessors of Christianity.
The services will be continued
to Friday night, and all are earn
estly invited to attend.
