time is their coldness and unsympathy
with the speaker. This is not due to
the lack of appreciation for our people
are as quick to recognize and as capa-
BILE of receiving as any people in the
state. 1t is lack of habit. 1t should
be cured. Don't wait for your neigh
Dor to start the applause. Warm your
hands up once in awhile. When the
speaker makes climax applaud. Ap-
plaud him when he begins, when he
quits, whenever he says anything
good. 1t does him good and you also.
If you like the music show it. Encore
them even if they don't respond. They
sing and play and help out and receive
no money for it so show them you are
glad they are able to do their part in
the program. By applauding you get
more out of concert, entertainment,
speech or lecture for you have been a
part of it.

The Juniors reception to the Seniors
of the High school at the beautiful
parental home of Miss Rachel Brown
last Thursday evening was one OF
those deep felt occasions in the stu
dents life that seems to make the
whole world kin and life's pathway
brighter and easier to tread. The par
lors were tastily arranged and all the
surroundings were of tempting and
inviting order. The guests were served
with orange punch under canopy
of the class colors in one corner of the
room. AS soon as all had assembled
each one seemed contented and in a
sociable mood. The enjoyment of the
evening was enhanced throughout
by music and singing by the talented
young ladies of our school, the Misses
Gertie and Mertie Bruner, Misses
Hensley, Witthauer, Brown and Della
ahoyde. About eleven o'clock Mrs.
Brown announced that the banquet
tables were in readiness and assisted
by Mesdames Witthauer and Herrick
and all were ushered into the dining
room. The supper was served in
courses and nothing seemed lacking to
add to its perfectnessand beauty. The
tables were decorated with red and
white carnations, an elegant vase of
these flowers on each table, gracefully
nodded to the happy young people,
while two carnations lay at each place
for the guests The menu consisted
of fruit, peanut SANDWICHES, COCOA,
pickles, olives, fIait salad, nabiscos,
ice cream and cake. When all had
finished and there was lull in the
social chat, Leon Hunter arose and
proposed f. A. Minis for toastmaster
for the evening. Mr.. Minis accepted
the honor with thanks and at the close
of his remarks called upon the various
members present to respond to toasts.

ing remarks:

All then adjourned to the parlors to
bid goodnight and to extend good
wishes to Mr.. and Mrs. Brown and de-
claring that the affair could not have
been more delightful and as each ex-
pressed their appreciation and gave
their parting farewell, they wished

associations and ties formed in their
life might never be broken. The fol-
