with their wives; also forty seniors
OF the colleges Of liberal arts, music.
law and medicine, were the guests in
ylted. Assembly hall on the second
moor, was made beautiful with
masses Of dogwood and Scotch broom.
Receiving with Doctor and Mrs. Kim
ball were Professor and Mrs. Edwin
sherwood, Professor and Mrs. Ever
EFT S. Hammond.
Music for the evening was fur
nished by Mr. and Mrs. Frank Eric
key with violin and piano.
In serving refreshments Miss Jes-
sic Young, Miss Ada Mark and Miss
Dunlop assisted. Here again the mo-
III of coloring was seen on the table.
The yellow candles in the Candida
Drum, the early blooming roses in
vases and the candies. Miss Lottie
Kimball cut the ice cream that was
frozen to show yellow center and
Miss Edith Sherwood served a punch
OF corresponding color. This affair
was one of the very pleasantest that
has been given during the year.
The senior class of the high
school was entertained by the faculty
last Friday evening in Joyous fash
ion with most unusual style. The
only invited guests were members of
the school board. The entertain
ment opened with the guessing of
twenty faculty names cleverly ar
ranged in a puzzle. Two pairs of
faculty twins, called so for reason of
their natal days, coming together,
gave an original high school song in
fine manner. A dance of the Nymphs
performed by Mr.. Moore and Mr..
Schmalle gowned in flowing black
robes entirely covering the figures
and with false faces placed at the
back OF the heads was quite terrlfy-
ing and equally funny.
Miss Ferrin as Madam Kerosens,"
for what reason this sort of stage
name was assumed, none could guess
acted in pantomime to the accom-
pament of phonograph, with mouth
constantly moving and arms mildly
gesticulating, to the immense enjoy
ment of her audience. This prima
donna gorgeously attired in white
lace (curtains, and blazing with
jewels CD wearing long diamonds
(prisms) as ear drops, was won
derful sight! Arranged behind a
screen with only head and arms
visible and face masked. Mr..
Moore, the image of dwarf, recited
the alphabet with every infection of
every language under the sun, con-
vulsing his listeners with laughter.
The noisy honors of the evening fell
to the high school orchestra with
Professor Kirk as leader. Some
faint idea of this music may be
gained when Miss Palmer is men
TONED as playing comb, Mr.. Moore
a toy drum, Mr.. Schmalle kettle lid,
Miss Davis foot ball horn and so
on down the list Of the eighteen
members.
In the drawing contest Professor
Schriber awarded each contestant
the privilege of being served with
most delicious refreshments. This
affair was one of the merriest of the
years entertaining in the high
school.
Mrs. John McNary telephoned in
vitations for three tables of bridge
with which she entertained very in
formally last Saturday afternoon, a
few friends coming in later for tea.
In quantities, fine variety of
narcissus was used as flowers for
the rooms. Mrs. B. o. Schucking
received very lovely cup and
saucer as gift for high score.
Miss Elene Fawk returned last
week Friday from a visit in Wash
ington and Eastern Oregon. Mrs.
Claud Knight of the Dalles, accom-
panied Miss Fawk to Salem and will
be her guest for short time.
