This reception was the first of its
kind ever held in the Government
House, and was given as the result
Of an invitation extended by the
Governor last summer. When the Gov
ernor attended commencement exer-
cises at several schools in different
parts of the State he suggested that ii
would be a good idea for the priuci-
pals of the schools to arrange to bring
their senior classes to Annapolis each
year to visit the historic places Of in
Ierest. He extended to them q hearty
invitation and stated that he would
arrange receptions in their honor.
The Allegany High School, Prof.
q. Hill,,principal, was the
first to accept the invitation, and that
school was followed by the Central
High School at Homecoming, Prof.
Arthur c. Smith, principal. To make
the event an interesting one socially,
were extended to the Sc
nior classes of the Annapolis High
school and ST. John's College to meet
The Western Maryland scholars.
The evening was enjoyed in various
ways No special music was provided
for the occasion and the students in
the party who were musicians played
for the others to sing and dance. Mrs.
Warfield also played the piano for
and accompanied some of the
vocalists. The visiting high schools
Of Cumberland and Lonaconing sang
their college songs as did st. Johns
College, and the large State parlors
resounded with Here's to Old st.
Johns, Drink Her Down, Drink Her
Down." etc., the students singing
with q vim.
The boys and girls enjoyed dancing
and general conversation and the en-
tire informality of the affair made
it the more delightful. During the
evening a delicious supper was served
in the State dining room, just such
a typical Southern supper character
istic of Governor and Mrs. Warfield's
hospitality. None of the participants
will soon forget the evening pleas
have endeared themselves all the
more to the school girls and boys who
were so cordially and Hospitality en-
last night.
