Toasted and Roasted-Decoration
Were Fine and Menu
Elegant.


The Junior class of the Belding
High School in keeping with the GUS
| tom of modern times entertained the
Seniors at Hotel Belding last Friday
evening and although there have
been other entertainments in this city
of a similar nature, none eyer sur
passed it in excellence.
The Juniors fairly out did them
selves in entertaining their older
schoolmates and it is very doubtful If
the seniors will eyer be able to get
back at them with anything equally
as good
The Juniors motto is "The ropes of
the past Ring the bells of the future"
and the class colors are Ebony and
| Gold, the Seniors have had nailed to
their banner for long time this one,
mot Evening but Dawn" and they
flash the color of Garnet and Pearl.
In the decorations of the parlors
and dining room these colors were
carried out and the profusion of roses,
palms and potted plants made the
scene at the hotel in hall, stairway
and parlors one of enhancing beauty.
From the chandelier in the east par
lor hung the figures 'O3 and in the
other '04 in honor of the two classes.
Miss Mildred Bolenbaugh gave a
fine recitation in the parlor and Miss
Florence Wagner sang a beautiful
solo, conundrumns and musical con-
tests were engaged in by the young
ladies and gentlemen, Miss Cora Rob
inson took the first prize and Mr.. Geo.
Kohn the consolation in the connun-
drum contest and Miss Florence
Washburn the first prize and Mar
garet Kohn the consolation in the
musical contest.
The banquet tables never looked
prettier and when the young people
were seated to them it was perfect
bower of beauty.

the appetite none of the boys and
| girls went away hungry.

that delicate creature in effectiv,
