Junior Reception.

Junior Reception.
Friday evening, the residence OF DR.. H.
II. Mcintyre, on randolph avenue, was
brilliantly illuminated for the Junior re-
ception to the class OF 1916.
Without, Japanese lanterns were hung
from either side OF the porch to the trees
at the front entrance OF the grounds, over
which they formed a glowing arch; while
within, house plants, palms, ferns and
wild flowers lent their beauty and fra
GRANGE to the festive scene. Handsome
Costumes, youth and happiness added col
or, life and animation to The pleasing pic.
ture, and when strains OF music from the
serenading band stole within the parlors,
Joy was made complete.
The serenade was as much OF a surprise
to the Juniors as to their guests, and it is
needless to say that both classes thor
oughly appreciated the kindly attention
from the members OF the band, who, be-
fore finally retiring, favored the company
with several selections, for which Mr.Fred
Mcintosh returned thanks in neatly
worded speech.
After the serenade, an elegant banquet
was daintily served by Caterer ID. f.
Cooling. Fifty-seven young people sat
down 10 the tables, whose decorations Of
palms and wild flowers we've heightened
in effect by many handsome banquet
lamps. At each plate lay pretty souve-
mir menu, tied with the 'y5 colors--old
rose and blue-and having the class
flower, the blue forget me not, on its
cover. Misses Grace and Sue Sanford,
Florence Brooks and Mary Moulton and
Messrs. Laroy Mann and Fred hunting
ton were the Hebes and Ganymedes OF the
feast and fitted to and fro like their
Olympian namesakes.

Mr.. n. F. Moulton, who was to favor
the party with banjo solo, reckoned
without his strings and as one by one
