T~hirty-ive of Paul Hoover's school
mates gathered at the home of his
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Geo. Hoover, on
Tuesday evening and gave him a very
neat surprise in honor of his 18th

decorated, violet and white being the
coiors used. The evening was most
pleasantly spent in games, etc., and
a dainty two-course luncheon was
served. One of he most amusin q
games INDUCED in was to tie the
right arms of all the guests in a
sling and each n was compelled to
register with their left hand and then
write and read q story upon how the
arm cameto be broken, which proved
to be very interesting. Paul's many
friends and classmates present .ex-
