With a dance in the Gymnasium tonight as a sort of eye-opener, the summer school will start in on its big Fourth of July celebration tomorrow (Friday) at half past nine o’clock.
As the band plays, the throng will gather on the square in front of the Alumni Building. Following the established practice, the students will form in groups according to their colleges and their precedence in the march to Memorial Hall will be determined by the age of the institutions. Queens College, Charlotte, comes first, having been founded in 1771, Salem next (1772), and the University third (1789).
By a vote of the student body Miss Olivia Abernethy of Hickory has been chosen as the most beautiful brunette, to represent Columbia, and Miss Esther Hunter as the most beautiful blonde, to represent Carolina. They will walk on each side of Uncle Sam, portrayed by R.H. Hardee.
At a signal from Grand Marshal A.H. Patterson, the march will begin, the route being along the north of the square and around between the Library and the Pharmacy building.
In Memorial Hall, after Rev. W.S. Long has pronounced the invocation, M.C.S. Noble will take charge of the exercises. There will not be speechmaking, but, instead a series of stunts. The nature of these is shrouded in mystery. It is known, however, that the Flora MacDonald girls will give a playlet called “Lima Beans,” and that the Southern Carolinians’ contribution will be a skit, “When South Carolina Meets North Carolina.”
The program includes a number of songs.
