The herald., 1894-02-18


ern California rendered reception and
banquet to the young ladies OF the same
institution. The event proved to be the
greatest social occurrence which has
been held in college halle for many a
day.
The youth and beauty of the uni
! versity gathered together beneath the
bowers of natures green with which the
music hall was adorned, with light
hearts and youthful vivacity. The
auditorium, where the guests of the
evening were received, presented a most
| home-like appearance. The windows
were almost hidden from view by the
elaborate curtains of pepper boughs.
The walls were covered with palm leaves.
Drsperies OF pepper branches hung from
the archways behind, leading to the two
back parlors where games of tiddledy
winks and other games were played by
interested couples. The pillars support
ing the archways were covered with
yucca palm branches. Festoons OF the
college colors hung suspended from the
four corners OF the room above the heads
OF the merry makers. From these, in
the center of the room, hung Chinese
lantern. Under this decoration paror
table was placed, which was occupied by
persons playing at parlor games. A
piano in the front OF the room furnished
music for the guests, while the large cir
Gle of young ladies and gentlemen
played all the games in the
catalogue, from drop the hand
kerchief to the jolly miller. A short
programme was given as rest
from the games. Mr.. Walton recited
in very realistic manner, An Expert
ence on Canal Boat. 1t was quite hu-
morous, and kept the hearers in roar
of laughter. Mr.. Ray Coggswell sang a
solo-I viii Fly. Miss frankie Uren
rendered a piano solo. The guests
then closed the programme by singing
several lively college songs. More
games were INDUCED in until the grand
march for supper was called, when the
couples filed down the stairway into
the dining room. The tables filled
and supper begun, repartee such as only
students are capable of flew fast and
furious up and down the table--a hit
1 here, now there; but all IN good nature.

menu WAS served:

The banquet closed at IL o'clock. The
guests repaired upstairs for more enjJy-
ment until the hour OF departure. Every
body had delightful time.
The college students tried to thwart
the banquet arrangements and leave it
without the ice cream, and to spoil the
other eatahes, but the attempt was a
dismal failure, the academy students
bringing them up with a round turn at
every point, turning the joke on the
perpetrators.
