M0ORHEAD NORMAL

Socially the big event of the week
was the Junior party to the seniors and
the faculty. 1t was an ingenious and
~unclouded ~jolIitication, a clear index to
the cleverness of the class of 1918, and
a fine compliment to the class Of 1912.
The programme vas a continuous jubi-
lee. 1t began with a political conven-
ton, in which were represented not the
standard old parties, but such signif-
cant expression of popular thought as
the socialists, the conservatives, the
suffragettes, the prohibitionsts and the
progressiyes. Ardent and tempestuous
bursts of oratory marked the nomina-
ton of candidates, and the most in
tense ~partisanship colored the cam
paign. The election was decided by a
unique method, which obviated the tedi-
GUS task of ballot counting. This was
by a polo Cor pole-oh!) contest, in
which the rival candidates, mounted on
stumps, essayed to dislodge their adj
v~ersaries by the use of a stuffed pole.
The socialists won, ungallantly IN
stumping even the suffragettes. Other
features of the programme were the
cake-walk by Rastus and Mirandy JON
son from New Orleans, the Spanish
dance, the double exclamation, and the
Junior joIts. Refreshments were served
in bountifuI style. The whole enter
tainment was one hilarious ha-ha of
