A t 2 o ’clock in th e afternoon th ere was a cam pus
m eeting. T h e spot chosen for the m eeting was the
beautiful shaded stretch of law n ju s t west of the aca
dem ic b u ilding. Mr. Downie acted as m aster of cere
m onies and m any were th e stu n ts pulled off by various
stu d e n ts, in d ividually and collectively. All p a rtic i
pan ts gave m ost pleasing accounts of them selves and
helped to m ake the afternoon one to be rem em bered
for vears.
A t 8 p. m. “ T h e M aid and the M id d y ,” an o p er
etta in two acts, was given in the au d ito riu m for the
benefit of faculty m em bers and the stu d e n ts, and it
was noted th a t we had q u ite a n u m b er of visitors as
well, and all w ere m ade w elcom e. T h e operetta
pleased all who w ere p resen t and those who took p art
are deserving of every bit of praise th ey received—and
they received a lot, too.
On T uesday m orning at 9:30 o ’clock th e various
shops were throw n open for th e inspection of visitors
and the forenoon was passed in a w ay th a t proved of
unusual in terest as th e m any visitors w ere profo u n d ly
im pressed w ith th e th o ro u g h n ess of the school and
th e capacity of th e pupils. T he school scored 100 in
th e test.
At 1:30 P. M. th e re w as a com petitive fire d rill,
w hich proved quite a feature, alth o u g h it was over in
a jiffy, w hich w as w hat was expected and desired.
A t 4:30 there w as a dress parad e and at 6:50 a co n
cert by th e band and large crow ds w ere en tertain ed .
F o llow ing the band concert cam e th e second evening
of the o peretta, “ T h e Maid and the M id d y ,” th is
tim e for visitors. W ell, we had a crow d— a ja m , in
fa c t—as th ere was soon “ s an d in g room o n ly .” It
was the largest crow d ever at a com m encem ent at
C hem aw a. O ur au d ito riu m is a spacious affair and it
w as packed. O u r visitors consisted of the best people
of Salem and various ad jacen t sections and all were
pleased. T he o p eretta w ent sm oothly and it seemed
th a t those com posing cast and choruses fairly eclipsed
on th is evening all th e ir form er efforts. It was one
g ran d success and was w orthy th e acclaim of the
h u n d red s and h u n d re d s of our visitors.
W ednesday m o rn in g , at 9:30 o ’clock, th e various
com panies com posing the school battalion drilled in
com petition for prizes. All did well and th e d rillin g
was a credit to th e school, but w here there are w in
ners there are also losers. E sth e r B lodgett, captain
of the g ir ls ’ C om pany A, won out w ith her com pany
in the g irls’ com petitive drill and received a cup for her
com pany. C om pany C, boys, captained by C harles
B uchert, was successful in the boys’ com petitive drill
and took the cup offered. T h e com petitive drill was
followed by a dress parade. A d ju tan t G eneral W hite
was the ju d g e of the com petitive d rillin g , and was in
every way satisfactory to all in th at capacity and m ade
friends by his fairness and evident ability.
At 3 o ’clock in the afternoon the the physical c u l
tu re classes of Mr. Bent gave an exhibition of a pleas

by the sm all girls of W inona H all, pyram id b u ild in g
