the year. In response TO about $50 in
vitations, a large number of the friends

tionaI guard and the teachers of the
high school were present The military

out in the decorations. which were IN
charge of the different companies.
Guns, flags and crossed sabers, all
helped to give martial appearance TO
the room. A large flag was draped over
the orchestra, while in one corner vas
q military tent in which punch v IS
served.
One of the most interesting features
Of the evening was the special drill by
a company of picked cadets, in COM
mand of Captain Harold Hills. The
various company movements, manual
of arms and firings, were all executed
with ease and accuracy and reflected
great credit upon both the cadets and
their officers. Dancing to the music of
Christensen's orchestra occupied the
remainder of the evening. A large
share of the success of the party is due
TO the committee in charge, Captains
Hills, Bero, Bourne and Nelden, and
Adjutant Mark McChrystal, as we'll as
to the efforts of members of the corps,
who assisted so effectuaIly in the prep
arations.
