THE MERCER CLUSTER
CICERONEANS TO
FEATURE ORATORY
Charles Baldwin Delivers Decla-
1 _ mation. '
Meeting with a Spirit that would
have swept even Cicero off his feet,
the Ciceronians held their weekly so
ciety meeting in the society hail.
The program was featured,by a dec
lamation delivered by one of the new
men, Charles Baldwin. This speaker
carried the house by storm.-. He spoke
on tho “Deathbed of Benedict Ar
nold.” The subject of debate for the
evening was, “Resolved, that a secre
tary of education be added to the
cabinet of the. United States, to co
operate with the different States for
the purpose of bettering the relations
concerning public education.” The
affirmative was represented by S: H.
Dire, W. W. Jones and W. R. Callo-
. way. The champions of the negative
weie Virgil Dean, W. R. Power and
Jack Shuffersi The affirmative won
the decision.
Plans were discussed which per
tained to the development of the-so
ciety in literary as well as oratorical
lines, Preparations have been start
ed for carrying of the honors at
Piety Day as was done in the /first
cociety day in the history of the in
stitution. The Ciceronians wonl the
• cup last year for the best all-around
sbeiety. For the past twenty
the followers ■ of this society have
been the most prominent participants
in the collegiate debates that have
been staged with other colleges, as
well as having conquered the Phi
Deltas in the debate society day.
The entore Ciceronian basketball
squad is on hand to again capture
the laurels when the two societies
clash on society day, This day is
known as the time when the real test
of the two societies comes to the
front.
Plans were discussed whereby a
Ciceronian diploma may be issued to
the.’g’raduates who have, during their
stay in college, made themselves
prominent in the annals of society
history. * ’ -
- Motion was made to adjourn just
at the time when the members were
in heated verbal combat concerning
some particular point. The time al-
loted was not sufficient to clear away
all discussions so the majority of
business items were postponed until
next Monday evening.
BESSIE TIFT AFFAIRS
On Tuesday afternoon from 4 to 6
o’clock Mrs. J. T. Miller, wife of the
dean, and Mrs. W. G. Wellborn, wife
of the secretary and treasurer of
Bessie Tift College, were hostesses
at a charming reception given, to
compliment Miss Ipne Foster, a
bride-elect, daughter of Dr. J. H.
Foster, president of the college.
The attractive parlors in Tift Hall
were all thrown open for the occasion
and the brilliant decorations made
them unusually beautiful. A profu
sion of pink roses against a back
ground of green was the dominant
feature of decoration used in the
spacious rooms -and halls, though
' every available space was filled with
beautiful • cut flowers and some varie
ty of fern. About the entrances were
banked huge palms from the college
greenhouses.
A very unique and attractive fea
ture was the bride's table. Dainty
chiffon, in mauve and pink, carrying
out the color scheme, was festooned
from the chandelier to the table and
over the table a shower bouquet of
... pink rosea attached to pink ribbons
was suspended from the chandelier
The centerpiece for this table was
the conventional bride’s cake, quaint
in its decorations of a miniature
br.ide and groom, Surrounding the
cake were dainty crystal dishes hold
ing pink and ipauve daonbons. Mrs.
Bivins and Mrs. Leavell presided at
the table.
In the receiving line were the host
esses, Mesdames-: Miller, Wellborn,
Misi lone Foster, Mrs. Foster, Mrs.
Crook, Misses Helen Foster, Marion
Allen, Mrs. Ahern, and Miss Bess
Bivins.'
Assisting -in entertaining were
Mesdames Elrod, Ensign and Rodi-
sill, Misses Brinson and Habersham.
Daring the afternoon punch was
served from two tables hanked with
vines and roses entertwined, Misses
Savannah HUlis and Mary McQoy
. served at one and Misses Rosamond
Radford and Eulalee Cheek at the
other.
The color scheme was pink and
mauve. It was used in the ices and
cakes of the refreshing ice course
served, as well as in the decorations.
The young ladies who assisted in
serving courses were Misses Alice
Morris, Mary Grenade, Ruth Renew,
Ann Hoffman, Gertrude HUlis and
Mattie Moring Mitchell.
The guests at the reception in
cluded the faculty and Seniors of
Bessie Tift College and the Forsyth
people. Among out-of-town guests
were Mrs. Crook, of Anniston, Ala,,
Mrs. Ahern, of Atlanta, and Miss
Marion Allen, of Wilmington, N. C.
Bessie -Tift College has been the
center of many social functions dur
ing the past week-—more than is
usual in a college—the occasion is
unusual, a bride-elect in the college
home. Miss lone Foster, daughter
of the president of Bessie. Tift, who
is to be married on Thursday, has
been complimented by some delight
ful prenuptial entertainments.' Miss
Foster has spent much of her life
right in the college; from which she
graduated last' spring. She is a
charming young lady of fine charac
ter and lovable disposition, ..one who
wotild, ns she has done, gather a host
of friends about her. During her col
lege .career she was prominehtly
identified with all the College organ
izations and activities.
\ The girls from Miami, Florida, en
tertained in her honor last Saturday
night with a miscellaneous shower,
which the Clionian Society mem-
were the guests. The decora
tions were most attractive, the color
scheme being Clipnian colors, green
and lavender.. 'Miss Foster was a
loyal' meniber of the Clionian Society
and also a member of the “Sigma
Theta Chi” Clubl They also gave a
shower for her on Saturday night. It
was very prettily arranged and a
dainty menu was served.
On Tuesday morning Miss Bess
Bivins entertained the bridal party
with other friends at a luncheon. A
course menu was served at a table
most beautiful in all its appoint
ments. A shower was introduced at
this luncheon in a very novel and
clever manner, .the gifts hidden in
baggage of a bride. The honoree
was- the recepient of many beautiful
gifts at all these showers.
The following are the guests of
Dr. and' Mrs. J. H. Foster, having
come over for the Foster-Hanby wed

Mrs. John R. Hanby of Wilmington,

MERCER AND FURMAN
fhe two opening games of. the 1921
season of football have been played.
The Bulldogs have been seen in ac
tion in two games that were by. no
means easy. Perhaps the Mercer
game was characterzied by more
miscues on both sides than the Fur
man game. Such is. nearly always
true of the first game of the year.
No teams that ever have done bat
tle against the Red and Black on
Sanford Field have played cleaner
and. more sportsmanlike games than
did the team from Macon and the
team from Greenville. Mt. Cody, the
Mercer coach, has succeeded gwithin
a short time in building up a team
that will prove a formidable foe for
any Southern aggregation, lit is a
fighting team, and one that fights
cleanly and hard. Mr. Laval, Fur
man’s coach, had a splendid fighting
machine last, year, and the Bulldogs
were expecting to battle them hard
for the 27-7 victory that they won.
The contingent of fans and fan-
nettes that came with their teams
were just about the most loyal
“ballet” of rooters that Georgia sup
porters have ‘ clashed voices with.
They were behind their teams with
enthusiasm tha'; was wholesome and
full of the tinge of true, sportman-
ship.—Red and Black 1
SUPPORTERS?
Just to put the matter of cleanli
ness in sport on a fair and square
baisis so far as the preceding para
graphs. aye concerned, and, to expirees
the sentiment of the student body,
we want to condemn! as intensely as
possible, a practice Hint was in evi
dence at the latest game played on
Sanford Field. Facts are, in all mat
ters, important
Some of the Red and Slash's sup
porters, in their enthusiasm over the
prowess of the Bulldog team, wa
gered that the opposition would not
score. Furman, according to the de
cision of the referee, did score; and,
as night follows the day, and vice
versa, those that staked their money
in the aforesaid manilft lost What
did the losers do? Why, they paid,
of course. But what had they to say?
Instead of saying nothing as they,
in all probability, would have done
had they won, these loyal (?) sup
porters of the Georgia team began
knocking in a manner that was dis-
guesting and entirely uncalled for.
In short, they tajd that the Bulldogs
laid down. “ ”
Any one that saw the game knows
that nothing is more false; that the
line, as a unit, fought as Georgia
always fights against heavy or light
opposition. The line - that charged
and played defensive last Saturday is
practically the same one that halted
the best line plungers of the South
last year. It played a great game
Saturday. And the same earnestness
of purpose that characterised the
forwards was in the hearts of the
backs that carried the ball and nailed
the runners of the Furmanites.
To put it mildly, adverse criticism
of the team’s play in a game of the
calibre of last Saturday’s is within
the coach’s province. But, when in
dividuals, who lose money on the
play of as true-hearted bunch of men
as ever represented an institution,
make such accussations as were
made last Saturday, it is well that
the sentiment of the student body
condemn 'in certain terms such un
warranted ahd despicable tactics.
Gambling, according to gentleman
ly and sportsmanlike instincts, is not
an indulgence of commendable na
ture. Gambling, coupled with slan
der as an apology for losing, is a
feeble exhibition of desire tb save
self.—Red and Black.
The most important bar every
prominent man has to face is the bar
of public opinion.
