On Friday evening the class of 1911
gave reception and dance at Rotns-
childs park in honor of the class Of
1910 A committee consisting Of:
Misses Capitola March, Gertrude
Merklein, Mary Anderson, Lena Lund
and Celia Wagner, and Glen Rams
dell, Adlai Peth, Cony Piper, Charles
Gilbert and Norton Kelly, had charge
of the arrangements, and, who assist
ed by Miss Wadleigh had been busy
decorating for the occasion during
the two preceding days.
Owing to the large number which
were invited this year the class of
1911 left the beaten path and set the
new precedent by having the prom,
as 1t is called, at the park pavilion,
which has a much larger floor than
has the Wausau club house where
former proms have been held. Every
body present was delighted with the
result of the Juniors work, and was
unanimous that it was the best prom
ever given, one that will make future
Juniors ''go some to come up to-"
The Columbia orchestra outdid
themselves in furnishing music for
the occasion. The dance hall was
decorated with the blue, yellow and
white with banks Of ferns everywhere,
while on the big stone chimney was a
large crescent, bordered with incan-
descent lights and bearing the words
Seniors and '"1O," in green on a
white background.
Punch was served at three tables in
the dance hall. The regular dining
room was furnished as a reception
room with comfortable chairs, and
having pennants hanging about the
walls, big banks Of ferns and snow
balls in the corners and on the mantel
piece, and green shades upon the
lights while everywhere we're the
senior colors, green and white con-
spicuous.
The refreshments were served in
the pavilion which was erected for
the U. G. T. banquet. This was
made into an attractive bower with
pine boughs covering the sides and
hanging from the ceiling, and with
rustic tables and chairs, while all the
electric lights which line all the
beams, were covered by Japanese
lanterns which shed soft light over
all. A feature of the dancing was the
spotlight dances, in which all the
lights were turned off save for spot
light which was thrown on the dane
ers.
A great deal Of credit Is due to the
Junior class for the lovely prom,
which it gave the class Of 1910, and
for it's wisdom In selecting a place
and its untiring work in arranging
the pleasing details.
The Junior class wishes to thank Mr..
Ewing, Mr.. Belanger the manager of
the park and Mr.. and Mrs. Oswald,
without whose hearty cooperation,
and ready compliance with every wish
Of the committee the party could not
have beeH made such a success.
As the class Of 1910 graduates from
the Wausau high school. the PILOT
can congratulate 1t upon its fear
less and constant work toward the
high aim and wishes it success In
the new world which it has en-
farod
