secret session to make arrangements
for one. Soon after the meeting was
called to order a noise was heard and
girls opened the door that opens in
to the cloak room, and saw about
six young men scrambling out OF the
windows. When the girls Investigate
ed some of them found their hats
gone and the rest had no hat pins.

home bare headed. Finally they de-
cided to have the social at the home
of Miss Young. The Young residence
was tastefully decorated in the class
colors, lavender and silver gray.
Games were played and many musical
numbers were rendered by members
of the jolly crowd, and refreshments
were served. a very pleasant evening
was spent and the girls are sure that

the good time they had for having
been so rude. The following ladies
were present: Agnes Twomey, Theo
