eager to oppose him.
The opportunity soon developed. On
April 90 3 cargo of liquor came con-

the duty. on tho ground that Collector

qualified from receiving the customs

not be working secretly for King

Nicholson had knelt when mass was

Junior Reception.

That much discussed Junior recep-
! ton was decided success was MT it?
After crossing the threshold of the
school house we were at once trans
ported to roomy and comfortable
home. The work day rooms were
closed and all paraphanalia banished.
The halls and landing we're costly car
peted and furnished and the Junior
and Senior colers were prominent
everywhere. And those Junior girls
were regular butterflies in their vari-
colored and dainty dresses. All in
the class wore their class colors and a
spray of their class flower, the lily.
And they surely know how to make
people welcome. Upon opening the
door, the first persons seen were
Juniors, making all glad they had
come. Every guest before entering
the drawing room" was givena large
pink carnation, the Seniors flower.
Yes, and the music was o. z. too, a
blending of classic end popular. The
informal kind that Laura Stenger does
so well and one hears thru all the
buzz of conversation and laughter.
Miss Alice Lentz favored the COM
panY with two very beautiful solos.
The recitation room too was masked
as charming dining room, profusely
decorated with the Seniors colors-a
veritable bower of delight. AT each
table was grave little maid in white
from the Freshmen ranks who served
the dainty refreshments to all and as
many times as they cared to return.
On their departure each Senior and
teacher received a unique souvenir of
the occasion.
The Juniors have proven themselves
as an original and hospitable bunch
all thru the year and this event will
long be, remembered as one of the
most enjoyable as well as the most
original reception ever given by any
Junior class.

Halley's comet was seen generally
here for the first time on Saturday

star in the western sky just after sun

it's brilliancy. The comet is now rap

Miss Mcguire acted very nicely for a
