Much has been written in recent
years about a more extended use of
school buildings. In many cities eff
forts have been made to make the
school a social center. Denison seems
to have fallen into line with this pro-
gressive movement without any par
ticular effort on the part of anyone.
For three nights in succession, eX-
cepting Sunday, the high school build
ing was the scene of a delightful
social gathering.
The German Party.
On Friday evening the students of
the second and third semester Ger
man classes served an elegant supper
on tables in the upper hall. The tables
were prettily decorated and the ele-
CANT supper was nicely served. After
supper games were played until $3.50,
a most delightful evening. All the
high school teachers were guests of
the evening.
The Football Supper.
On Saturday evening the mothers of
the football boys, headed by Mrs.
Marcus Jones, entertained the mem
bers of the squad, their parents, the
high school teachers and all the Wis.
itors from Logan at an elegant sup
per. This was also served in the up
per hall of the high school building.
The long tables, set to serve some
seventy people, made a beautiful
sight with their yellow candles set
in yellow apples and their pumpkin
baskets filled with fresh fruits. OF
course, as it was football supper,
all fancy deserts of questionable d.
gestibility were tabooed, but it was
a bount!ful supper Of just such things
as hungry boys enjoy. 1t is needless
to say that the boys demonstrated
their appreciation right then and
there. After supper an informal re-
ception was held in the halls down
stairs where liberal use of rugs,
settees and sofa pillows arranged by
the members of the senior class made
everything pleasant and cozy. A pro-
gram of music and reading by high
school pupils, assisted by Miss Grace
Schlumberger and Miss Hilda Broder-
son, furnished entertainment until
time for the Logan boys to go to the
train. The evening ended with a
hearty "Three cheers for Denison"
from the Logan boys and loud and
lusty Whats the matter with Logan;
They're all right" from Denison. We
believe this little gathering is sig.
nificant and that it's influence will be
far reaching.
One Of the greatest objections to
football is the ugly feeling that some
times creeps into the rivalry between
schools. If such gatherings as that
of Saturday evening could be held in
the several towns where football is
played there would soon develop such
a feeling among all the schools that
games could be played as was the
Missouri Valley game here without
single complaint to the officials about
the conduct of any other player. When
this can be done the element of danger
will be largely eliminated. The boys
and the teachers appreciate the work
of the mothers to give them a pleas
ant evening. Here's hoping that this
will not be the last of the kind in
Denison and that their influence may
spread to other towns.
The Junior Class Party,
On Monday evening the high school
was again the scene of jolly games
and much hilarity. The junior class,
'haperoned by Mr.. Chapman and Miss
entertained their friends at
Halloween party. The usual stunts
or this occasion We're pulled off and
he jolliest kind of time was had I'M
IL 1890. TO Andy" McMinimee, the
GENIAL janitor of the high school,
much is due for all these happy oc-
aSlons. Everyone makes him a lot
II extra work, but he never refuses
90 all he can to give the boys and
iris a good time
A GOOD PLAY.
