Juniors Entertain.

The reception given Tuesday evening
by the juniors OF the high school to the
members OF the graduating cl.ss. was
one OF the delightful events OF the school
year.
The hospitable home OF Mr.. and Mrs.
W. G. Cook was the scene Of the testlvi-
ties and Mr.. and Mrs Cook. assisted by
the reception committee OF the Juniors.
made an ideal host and hostess. Chinese
lanterns on the verand, rivalled the
moonlight in the illumination without
and within. the Junior colors, green and
gold 10 banners, flowers and lights, were
everywhere in evidence.
Dainty refreshments OF sherbet and
wafers tied in the prevailing gold and
green we're served. But the real feast
OF the evening was the literary and
musical program given by Mrs. Milton
Fish and her sister. Mies Earl. who has
recently come to Delta from Boston and
has brought with her many OF the good
things OF the east.
Miss Eari's rendering on the violin. OF
the .Cavsisria Rusticsda" and OF the
ANGELS Serensde" were especially
appreciated.
Mrs. Fish. - Samantha Allen in her
interview with the se~ ing machine man
who wished 10 sell her '.feller" and in
songs and other recitations, won the
hearts OF all her hearers.
Itis with regret that the high school
loses the class OF 1904. but il 1905 is as
successful in other things as in Tues
day evenings reception. the high
standard which this years Seniors have
set. will by no means be lowered during
next year.
