lation Miss Websters story is entitled

written for class work while she was
studying English Composition Turing the

The annual reception rendered by the
Seniors TO the Juniors and faculty oc-
CURED last Friday evening in the acad-
envy building. The lower rooms were
handsomely decorated so that they ap-
peared veritable parlors with cosy corners
here and there. The Seniors demonstrat
ell on this occasion that they have a
special fitness for entertaining as well as
the ability to do profound thinking and
to deliver soul-stirring orations. The
chief event of the evening was a general
good time effected by the charming music
furnished by Professor Marshall, Miss
Emily Torrington and Miss Mamie Nal
low, interesting games, and dainty re-
freshments, which consisted of frappi,
chocolate and cake The last was an es-
pecial feature, since each Senior girl gas
required to make a cake without help or
suggestion from anyone. The faculty
passed judgment upon these and decided
that they were able to pass the most
rigid examination Each member of the
faculty was presented with a small can
die and required to sing a song or tell a
story while the candle burned Miss
Brown won the prize for telling the most
interesting story \ literary love tale
was another diversion which furnished
much amusement Miss McElhaney sue
ceeded in filing the blanks in the most
complete manner and was awarded the
prize. The Seniors have proven themselves
such splendid entertainers that much re-
greet is felt that this was their last OPP
portunity to show their ability in like
manner to the school.
