dient to celebrate "Llttle Georges
birthday, by taking days lay of.

granted by the faculty as half holi-
day in which to do nothing but cele-
brate according to the dictates of

the afternoon most every body stayed
in and exercised the sacred right of
grumbling at things in general and
the weather bureau in-particular.

Fancy Snap was given in Anderson,

| One 81 the weeks pleasant social
features was the surprise taffy pull,
given in honor of Miss Henrietta
Lord, last Saturday afternoon by a
number of her friends. She was un-
suspicious and had no misglvings
when she agreed to meet a, the Cen

an astronomy lesson; but she was
much surprised when she found quite
a crowd awaiting her. The party
was made up Of Misses Cecilia and
Henrietta Lord, Phi Smythe,J Ethel
Kennedy, and Nola Gill, Messrs
Tracy, Ernest, White, Turnbull and
Alexander. Considering how they
played around with sugar, taffy and
Glasses" it goes without saying that
they had a real sweet time.

do came before all the performers
came; then next the electric lights
were cut out by the tightening. But
the Athenians were not to be daunted
and an extemporaneous program was
brought forward and carried out with
great enthusiasm. The musical num-
, bers were assigned to w. T. Ramsey
