Merry Evening.

One Of the merrleSt parties gwen in the city for some time was the celebration of the High School stud ems last night, the occasion being a theater party and trolley ride, giv- en by the Senior Class complimentary to the Junior Class. For few hours during the evening the pupils participating made such a noise on the downtown streets that 1t seemed as though the Mardi Gras carnival had been revived. Never in the an- nals of the High School has Senior Or graduating class been so liberal in it's commencement doings is the class of 1910, but the Junior class IS equally as conspicuous in attempting to rival the festivities of their school mates. A number of commencement parties, feasts, dances and other so- cials have been given the past week. The doings and celebrations of this years graduating class will long be remembered in the history of the school. The party of last evening was the merriest of all, as was seen
 by those who attended the perform ance at the Elks Theater last night and who were on the streets during the trolley car ride. Seventy-five seats had been reserved for the clas- ses at the Elks Theater and Manager Philpot certainly did his part as host for the students while in the theater. They practically had the big house in their hands. With modest cessa- tions during the first performance of the show the merry yells of the clas- ses echoed through the house. Some were the yells of the school, some were the yells of the Junior Class, some of the Senior Class, and some simply to be making a noise. Ev- erybody from the "cops" and dogs to Little Lord Roberts and Shorty were cheered time and again before the evening was over. But in an appreciative way the pupils gave the performers perfect attention and never forgot during the joyous time that others were in the house besides house was a roaring jubilee of yel1- ing. Following the performance at the theater the pupils marched up West Second avenue to Second ave- nue and Main street carrying on con- tinuous yelling and blowing of horns, while the pedestrians stopped and watched the pretty procession of the sweet girl graduates with their es- corts and the beautiful set of Junior girls At Second avenue and Main street the special car for the ride was boarded by the pupils. The car had been gaily bedecked with pen- nants of the school and of the clas- ses. From the trolley streamed rib- bons of blue and white and brown and white, the colors of the classes From the center of the city the car went out on West Second avenue and the cemetery line. Next the resi- dents of East Second avenue were given a touch of school life,'' Iaf- ter which the car proceeded on West Sixth avenue and Cherry street. On the return from the West Sixth line the Central Pharmacy fell into the hands of the "marauders" and after a few seconds was turned into pan demonium of yells, smoke, ice cream and sandwiches. The tempting feast and destruction of the Central Phar- macy was followed by trip on the South Main street car line, after which the car went to the barn and the crowd went to their homes. Among those who enjoyed the rare event were Mis- ses Leinard Byrd, Allie Banks, Irene Crawford. Mary Carmical, Readma Dansby, Werner Duncan, Jessie Eil- bolt, Lucy Gresham, Elleine Harrison,l
