Who Attended the
ROME PUBLIC SCHOOLS
Closing Exercises at the Op'
era House last Night. Sup
erintendent Harris and
His Little Folks in
Their Glory.
Last night’s Program at Nevins,
was a fitting finale for one of the
successful years the Rome
Public Schools have ever known.
Long before the hour for the cur
;tain to rise the house was packed
;from pit to dome and hundreds of
happy mortals were glad of stand
ing room privileges.
But the hour arrived —it always
■ does, and Superintendent Harris
came to the front and informed
the irrepressible small boys, who
covered much of the territory of
the galleries, that unless they play
ed quiet, and very quiet at that,
that he would have all of them re
moved. This little speech had a
cooling effect on the small boys’
ardor, at least.
Then the curta’n went up, and
with Miss May Clark at the piano,
the high school girls marched in
and executed with precision the
mazy movements of the hoop drill.
■CI-ad in pink gowns and armed
'With circles of flowers they capti
'vated the big audience—very
prompt'y.
Master Linton Vandiver made a
■ ringing speech full of vigor and
>'fire and won a well deserved storm
of applause. His subject: The
’Georgia Volunteer.
Then Master John Glover, also
full of snap and bovish impetuosi.
ty. came forward and borrowed the
ear of the crowd and charmed it
with the beautiful word-picture: 1
The Storming of Quebec. ” These '
tiro boys will be heard from in the
coming generation.
Glover McGhee, one of the city’s 1
most promising younger- men was f
the last of the deciaimers. His
theme was “Georgia” and he bor- '
rowed the crowd's other ear and
soon had it charmed.
The next number was “The
Hunters song’’ sang in chorus by
the High School girls—audit was '
beautifully done.
But the unique event of the eve
ning was the “Gossip” in panto
mi >e by the pretty liltl* Fourth
Grade maidens, a score of these
little Misses, clad in grand-mother
costumes, with white caps, specta
cles, capes, aprons and hand bags
and “humping heavily”‘and lean
ing on walking, canes hobbledin
and marched and counter march
ed and then did the go-sip in p in
tomine to an ancient perfection
Bless thosj little mimmics, how
the Hustler of Rome wishes that
each one may live a hundred years
*nd be as sweet in old age as they
wore clever last night.
The Violin Solo by Miss Lucy
Wright betrayed the masterly
touch of tha’ remarkably pretty
young lady. The truth of the busi
ness is Miss Lucy is as gifted in
handling of a bow as her papa and

THE HUSTLER OF ROME.
1 Get a Ticket, and get it now, for Shorter College’s big Concert Tonight. Benefit of St Peters
Church Building Fund,
ry friend Netticote and while
gathering flowers, loses the ring
given her by her k ver. As they re
turn to the castle, she passed the
farm and announces to the assem
bled peasants her loss, promising
to whosoever may find and restore
the ring any reward which lies in
her power to bestow.
80-Peep, in her search for Bo
Blue, discovers the ring, and per
suades him to return. Misstress
Mary forgivea him and receives at
80-Peeps request, a new deed of
he farm from Ladye Lea, in place
of the lost document.
The First scene of 80-Peep is
laid in a farm ya’d; the second, a
Meadow and the third is a Village
Green with May pole in the back
ground.
Little 80-Peep was represented
by Miss Mary Wright, the little
daughter of Col. W. A. Wright.
Miss Mary is a little beauty and
with her young rich voice was “the
girl for the part” Miss Alva Wads
worth, younger sister of Ar'hur
Wadsworth made a matchless Boy
Blue. Miss Alva is as naturally
graceful as she is pretty and that’s
saying all that could he said for
gracefulness. She’s a winsome lit
tle woman.
Mistress Mary was well inter,
preted by Miss Mattie Baily, daugh
ter of Mr. James Bailey, down the
Coosa. Miss Baily has a sweet
voice and was easily at home be
fore the footlights.
Zula Adkins was a charming
Gill. The truth is Zula Adkins is a
charming little lady and always
reflects credit on the family coat
of arms no matter what the char
acter in the cast or when the occa
sion.
And Janie Hawkins and Katie
O’Rear as Silver Bell and Cockle-
Shell were a pair of charming little
lasses.
Miss Stella Green was a “hope
less Taffy.” Miss Stella has a won.
derfully sweet voice and shows its
cultivation.
Miss Cora Clark took the part
of Lady Lea and was assisted by
the star of the evening, Miss Ma
mie Parish, the most self sufficient,
flouncy little piece of disdain and
vanity that ever warbled a bird
like note from a stage. Mamie P.. -
ish can act the “little vixoii to
perfection.
Then came the Graduation exer
cises of the Eighth Grade, the first
number of which was recitation by
Miss Abbie Mo es: “King David's
Lament;” followed by Miss Hill’s
Recitation of “How Ruby Played.
Miss Moses and Miss Hill are both
dark eyed Southern beauties and
each is a girl of ability and talent.
The valedictory wos charmingly
delivered by Miss Lula West, as
fair a maid n and accomplished a
little lady as ever grew up in the
Hill City.
•And then President of the B >ard
of School Trustees, M. M. Pepper,
came forward and surrounded 1 y
the School’s staff of teachers ami
the Board of Trustees and facing
the Graduating class, he made a.
happy little speech ami “forked
over” the mucg ooveied “sheep
skins.”
Superintendent Harris, t tanked
the audience and ordered the cur
tain and a most happy crowd dis
ported to the four quarters of the
' city and the surburbs thereof.
