Close of 117th Year of the Institution Marked by Impressive Ceremonies TWELVE YOUNG LADIES RECEIVED DIPLOMAS. Eloquent Baccaleaureate Sermon—Class Day Exercises— nior Class Play Very Well Rendered—A lumnae Meet-ings and Banquet—Several Exhibits—Com-mencement Concert —Address to Class -Sc- Much is wont to be said, especially at this time of the year when college com-mencements are in vogue, about the sweet girl graduate, and possibly the matter may occasionally be a little over-done, because the writers and speakers who make the allusions are not always serious. In all seriousness we now de-clare that the Linden Hall graduates of the class of '11 were certainly of the kind to make the friends of that time-honored and high-grade institution, as well as the people of Lititz in general, feel very proud and happy. Of course, the Seminary takes credit only for the mental graces of the young lady gradu-ates, and that is enough, too, for its glory. The exercises of commencement week participated in by the graduates all attested the fact that in scholarship the class of 1911 reflects only credit upon the institution of which they have now become worthy alumnae. The commencement program of any institution of learning may be said to reflect, in a large measure, the worth and vigor of the institution itself, and the friends of Linden Hall Seminary had no occasion to shrink from an applica-tion of that test of merit in conne ction with this week's commencement exer-cises. Careful training and painstaking care on the part of the faculty were in evidence in every act and performance rendered by the graduates. The truth is not strained when we say that the commencement was a proud occasion for the friends of Linden Hall Seminary and a very happy one for the parents and friends of the graduates. Linden Hall Seminary is old in years but altogether youthful in vigor and en-terprise. All who visited its classic halls during the commencement season experienced a happy realization of that fact. All about the honored seat of learning breathes the air of prosperity and careful management, and the visitor could not escape the conviction that the spirit of the sane and sensible in the economy of the higher education of young women is dominant there. We shall not indulge in fulsome praise, but do say that the institution deserves suc-cess and that it is haying it, too. In speaking of the achieyements of Linden Hall Seminary, it is always a pleasure to us to refer to the excellent work done for the institution by the worthy principal, Rev. Charles D. Krei-der. He is sanguine, ardent, diligent, faithful and persevering. He holds no sinecure, but he is called upon to under-go many severe tests of his efficiency, and in every test he has proven his worth and devotion. Here follows the program in detail : Sunday—Sermon t-o the Graduates. The opening event of the commence-ment exercises was held on Sunday morning last, when the sermon to the graduates was delivered in the Mora-vian church by the Rev. J. Max Hark, D.D., pastor of the Lebanon Moravian church. The pulpit decorations were composed of a pretty display of moun-tain laurel, daisies and ferns. The pu-pils, faculty and ministers entered the church from the chapel annex singing the Crusaders'Hymn of the 17th cen-tury, and a f t e r all had taken their places the choir sang an anthem, Mr. C. S. Loeffler taking the solo part. This was followed by the reading of the litany for Trinity Sunday by Rev. Chas. D. Kreider, principal of the Seminary. Rev. E. S. Hagen read the texts for the day, which was followed by a solo by Miss Miriam Hepp, who rendered her selection most charmingly. Rev. Hark chose his text from II Timothy 3 :177-"That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works. " His introductory remarks were with reference to the system in vogue by the Moravian schools, which aim to give their stu-dents the training to make men and women more complete in the symmetri-cal development not for this short life only, but for time and) eternity. He advocated Christian culture in all our schools besides training for this or that following through life. A man may be qualified for this or that great work, but if he lacks Christian culture he has not been educated for the high-est aim in life. He deplored the - fact that our schools have not yet reached that point where the spiritual develop-ment of man was uppermost. Finally, he again remarked that Christian cul-ture is what we need and he tried to impress the class of 1911 to let this be their aim through life. The sermon throughout was replete with words of admonition, and the learned speaker spoke with great earnestness and im-pressiveness. After prayer and the benediction by Rev. Hark, there was another reces-sional hymn,' 'Come ye f a i t h f u l , ' ' as the honored ones of the day and the others marched out by the chapel. Before the opening of the service the trombone choir of the church played three tunes on the balcony facing the north of the church edifice. Monday Afternoon—Class Day Exercises ' After the Linden Hall Commencement week had been so auspiciously ushered in on Sunday^by Dr. Hark's sermon and the excellent music at the Moravian church, Monday afternoon was devoted to the Class Day exercises which were held in the large auditorium, instead of the beautiful pleasure grounds on ac-count of the threatening weather. Miss Mary M. Gosser, of Pittsburg, presided at the ever popular and interesting cer-emonies. This year they consisted in the dedication of the class motto: "Amat Victoria Curam," which will re-main for all time in the tiling in the floor of the memorial hallway, where generations yet unborn may read and adopt it in their lives. Then the class tree, a vigorous pine, was planted to grow up and adorn the grounds. Monday Evening—Senior Class Play. The annual play by the Seniors is al-ways greatly enjoyed by the visiting alumnae and our town folks. This year "Ingomar, the Barbarian," was chosen by Miss Sylvia Gilbert, the teacher of rhetoric and English literature. Just at 8 o'clock when the performance should have begun, it rained in torrents. Hack-man's orchestra agreeably entertained the audience who had arrived before the rain for half an hour in order to give those who were delayed time to get to the auditorium. The various senior classes in past years have been success-ful in giving a play, but the class of 1911 certainly did themselves proud. The principal characters, such as the Ti-march of Massilia, Miss Elizabeth Holtzhouse; Ingomar, Miss Mary Gos-ser, were both charmingly and sympa-thetically interpreted. Actea, Myron's wife, Miss Mary Hagen, was certainly both natural and intelligent in the char-acter she took. Now comes the most remarkable incident in the evening's per-formance in that Miss Kathryn Lyon, who had studied and who was to have taken the character of Parthenia, was unavoidably absent, so that in the last moment Miss Gilbert most kindly took her part. The public ¡most enthusiasti-cally applauded Miss Gilbert for her su-perb Parthenia. It is seldom possible in the last moment to find any one on the stage and much less at a young ladies' school to take such a prima donna part as perfectly as Miss Gilbert did. All the young ladies who represented the , citizens of Massilia and the Ale-manni added greatly to the success of the play. The scenery was very charm-ing in every act. The hall was very tastily decorated with the class colors and flags 50x30 feet, in honor of Flag Day, June 14.

High, who farms a tract of land near Halfville, has three-fourths of an acree in strawberries, as briefly referred to in last week's RECORD. His crop seems to have been very prolific from all accounts, considering the long dry spell experienced while the plants were blooming. At any rate on Monday of last week he and his helpers picked 15 bushels, on Wednesday 8, and on Friday 26 bushels. One helper picked 119 quarts one day in less than eight hours, and another 119. Most of the luscious berries, which at all times were choice, were disposed of in Lititz and vicinity. I t remains for Monday of this week to be the banner day, when 32 bushels were picked. Park View Hotel to be Greatly Enlarged. For some time past A. W. Miller, proprietor of the Park View hotel, has planned enlarging the hotel, and on Tuesday purchased from S. K.

The price paid was $3,250. The lot con-tains a frame building, which, until re-cently, was used as a moving picture theatre. Mr. Miller intends building a three-story addition on the ground purchased to adjoin the hotel building. Work on the addition will be started in July. Mr. Miller is making special efforts to accommodate the public and will, when the addition is completed, be able to keep a large number of boarders. Wife Rejected Husband's Affections. The saying "Familiarity breeds con-tempt," was very forcibly illustrated by a resolution made by several men employed in Kinport's "Owl" cigar factory the other day. The men in question were talking on various sub-jects during the afternoon—cigarmak-ers will talk, you know—when finally, as the close of the day drew nigh, they talked on affections toward their con-sorts —they were benedicts. These par-ticular men it seems were not given to show their affection, but after a thor-ough discussion they decided that upon their arriving at their homes they would give their wives a gentle kiss. The de-cision was a good one but, alas, when one of the men started carrying out the obligation upon his srrival at home, his wife, as he advanced toward her, with his arms extended, gave him one great big cold stare that froze all lovingness out of him then and there. Such was her surprise at her husband's sudden affection that she could not realize his ., intentions. After an explanation every thing was rightly amended, however. The other men in the newly-made reso-lution kept "mum" as to their success. —"The Lititz" cigar is clear Havana.

Close of 117th Year of the Institution Marked by Impressive Ceremonies TWELVE YOUNG LADIES RECEIVED DIPLOMAS. Eloquent Baccaleaureate Sermon—Class Day Exercises— nior Class Play Very Well Rendered—A lumnae Meet-ings and Banquet—Several Exhibits—Com-mencement Concert —Address to Class -Sc- Much is wont to be said, especially at this time of the year when college com-mencements are in vogue, about the sweet girl graduate, and possibly the matter may occasionally be a little over-done, because the writers and speakers who make the allusions are not always serious. In all seriousness we now de-clare that the Linden Hall graduates of the class of '11 were certainly of the kind to make the friends of that time-honored and high-grade institution, as well as the people of Lititz in general, feel very proud and happy. Of course, the Seminary takes credit only for the mental graces of the young lady gradu-ates, and that is enough, too, for its glory. The exercises of commencement week participated in by the graduates all attested the fact that in scholarship the class of 1911 reflects only credit upon the institution of which they have now become worthy alumnae. The commencement program of any institution of learning may be said to reflect, in a large measure, the worth and vigor of the institution itself, and the friends of Linden Hall Seminary had no occasion to shrink from an applica-tion of that test of merit in conne ction with this week's commencement exer-cises. Careful training and painstaking care on the part of the faculty were in evidence in every act and performance rendered by the graduates. The truth is not strained when we say that the commencement was a proud occasion for the friends of Linden Hall Seminary and a very happy one for the parents and friends of the graduates. Linden Hall Seminary is old in years but altogether youthful in vigor and en-terprise. All who visited its classic halls during the commencement season experienced a happy realization of that fact. All about the honored seat of learning breathes the air of prosperity and careful management, and the visitor could not escape the conviction that the spirit of the sane and sensible in the economy of the higher education of young women is dominant there. We shall not indulge in fulsome praise, but do say that the institution deserves suc-cess and that it is haying it, too. In speaking of the achieyements of Linden Hall Seminary, it is always a pleasure to us to refer to the excellent work done for the institution by the worthy principal, Rev. Charles D. Krei-der. He is sanguine, ardent, diligent, faithful and persevering. He holds no sinecure, but he is called upon to under-go many severe tests of his efficiency, and in every test he has proven his worth and devotion. Here follows the program in detail : Sunday—Sermon t-o the Graduates. The opening event of the commence-ment exercises was held on Sunday morning last, when the sermon to the graduates was delivered in the Mora-vian church by the Rev. J. Max Hark, D.D., pastor of the Lebanon Moravian church. The pulpit decorations were composed of a pretty display of moun-tain laurel, daisies and ferns. The pu-pils, faculty and ministers entered the church from the chapel annex singing the Crusaders'Hymn of the 17th cen-tury, and a f t e r all had taken their places the choir sang an anthem, Mr. C. S. Loeffler taking the solo part. This was followed by the reading of the litany for Trinity Sunday by Rev. Chas. D. Kreider, principal of the Seminary. Rev. E. S. Hagen read the texts for the day, which was followed by a solo by Miss Miriam Hepp, who rendered her selection most charmingly. Rev. Hark chose his text from II Timothy 3 :177-"That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works. " His introductory remarks were with reference to the system in vogue by the Moravian schools, which aim to give their stu-dents the training to make men and women more complete in the symmetri-cal development not for this short life only, but for time and) eternity. He advocated Christian culture in all our schools besides training for this or that following through life. A man may be qualified for this or that great work, but if he lacks Christian culture he has not been educated for the high-est aim in life. He deplored the - fact that our schools have not yet reached that point where the spiritual develop-ment of man was uppermost. Finally, he again remarked that Christian cul-ture is what we need and he tried to impress the class of 1911 to let this be their aim through life. The sermon throughout was replete with words of admonition, and the learned speaker spoke with great earnestness and im-pressiveness. After prayer and the benediction by Rev. Hark, there was another reces-sional hymn,' 'Come ye f a i t h f u l , ' ' as the honored ones of the day and the others marched out by the chapel. Before the opening of the service the trombone choir of the church played three tunes on the balcony facing the north of the church edifice. Monday Afternoon—Class Day Exercises ' After the Linden Hall Commencement week had been so auspiciously ushered in on Sunday^by Dr. Hark's sermon and the excellent music at the Moravian church, Monday afternoon was devoted to the Class Day exercises which were held in the large auditorium, instead of the beautiful pleasure grounds on ac-count of the threatening weather. Miss Mary M. Gosser, of Pittsburg, presided at the ever popular and interesting cer-emonies. This year they consisted in the dedication of the class motto: "Amat Victoria Curam," which will re-main for all time in the tiling in the floor of the memorial hallway, where generations yet unborn may read and adopt it in their lives. Then the class tree, a vigorous pine, was planted to grow up and adorn the grounds. Monday Evening—Senior Class Play. The annual play by the Seniors is al-ways greatly enjoyed by the visiting alumnae and our town folks. This year "Ingomar, the Barbarian," was chosen by Miss Sylvia Gilbert, the teacher of rhetoric and English literature. Just at 8 o'clock when the performance should have begun, it rained in torrents. Hack-man's orchestra agreeably entertained the audience who had arrived before the rain for half an hour in order to give those who were delayed time to get to the auditorium. The various senior classes in past years have been success-ful in giving a play, but the class of 1911 certainly did themselves proud. The principal characters, such as the Ti-march of Massilia, Miss Elizabeth Holtzhouse; Ingomar, Miss Mary Gos-ser, were both charmingly and sympa-thetically interpreted. Actea, Myron's wife, Miss Mary Hagen, was certainly both natural and intelligent in the char-acter she took. Now comes the most remarkable incident in the evening's per-formance in that Miss Kathryn Lyon, who had studied and who was to have taken the character of Parthenia, was unavoidably absent, so that in the last moment Miss Gilbert most kindly took her part. The public ¡most enthusiasti-cally applauded Miss Gilbert for her su-perb Parthenia. It is seldom possible in the last moment to find any one on the stage and much less at a young ladies' school to take such a prima donna part as perfectly as Miss Gilbert did. All the young ladies who represented the , citizens of Massilia and the Ale-manni added greatly to the success of the play. The scenery was very charm-ing in every act. The hall was very tastily decorated with the class colors and flags 50x30 feet, in honor of Flag Day, June 14.

The price paid was $3,250. The lot con-tains a frame building, which, until re-cently, was used as a moving picture theatre. Mr. Miller intends building a three-story addition on the ground purchased to adjoin the hotel building. Work on the addition will be started in July. Mr. Miller is making special efforts to accommodate the public and will, when the addition is completed, be able to keep a large number of boarders. Wife Rejected Husband's Affections. The saying "Familiarity breeds con-tempt," was very forcibly illustrated by a resolution made by several men employed in Kinport's "Owl" cigar factory the other day. The men in question were talking on various sub-jects during the afternoon—cigarmak-ers will talk, you know—when finally, as the close of the day drew nigh, they talked on affections toward their con-sorts —they were benedicts. These par-ticular men it seems were not given to show their affection, but after a thor-ough discussion they decided that upon their arriving at their homes they would give their wives a gentle kiss. The de-cision was a good one but, alas, when one of the men started carrying out the obligation upon his srrival at home, his wife, as he advanced toward her, with his arms extended, gave him one great big cold stare that froze all lovingness out of him then and there. Such was her surprise at her husband's sudden affection that she could not realize his ., intentions. After an explanation every thing was rightly amended, however. The other men in the newly-made reso-lution kept "mum" as to their success. —"The Lititz" cigar is clear Havana. |
