The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1910-02-17

1911, w. H. S. gave a Sentimental
Party at the High School rooms to
the High School students and invit-
ed guests. The rooms were prettily
decorated, festoons of red and white
paper hung from the walls ana
hearts of all sizes completed the
decorations. Broken hearts were
passed among the gentlemen and
the missing pieces given to the la
dies. A prize was awarded to Bertel
Perry he being first to mend" his
heart. A menu guessing contest
was then INDUCED in. Miss Ethel
Graves, the winner. was presented
with a valentine. Next the company.
with hook and line fished for hearts.
On each heart was a question to
answer or a stunt to perform. This
created a great deal of amusement
as each one in the room was obliged
to take part. Miss Hazel Foss then
read an adjective story, the adjective
of which had been supplied by men,
bers of the company. Refreshments
of punch, waters and home ma ,e
candies were served in an adjoining
room. Small red hearts were Civ n
the guests as souvenirs. The party
was certainly a success and shows
that the class of 1911 has the ability
to be successful in whatever it may
undertake.
