WHITMAN IN pretty FROlc
Opening Social Function of the Sea-
son Is Given in College Chapel
With Enjoyable Games.

The first big social function of the
year took place at Whitman college
last evening in the college chapel The
annual reception to new students by
the Christian associations was the
largest and one Of the most enjoy
able ever given.
Everything contributed to sociability
and good fellowship and the three
hours were crowded full of jolly fun
Of every kind. The seats were ar
ranged around the outside Of the room
and filled with inviting looking cush-
ions.
Everybody had to mingle in the fun
of the evening. At the door every
body must write his or her name on a
slip and place it in a basket, boys and
girls separate. Later the girls drew
from the boys basket for a partner for
the grand promenade and the boys got
their draw when it came to refresh
ments. This arrangement gave every
body a chance to get acquainted.
A sort of lagomachy-t ableaux game
in which each acted out the word
which a combination of letters given
them created no end of fun.
