DELIGHTFUL RECEPTION.

Alumni and members OF the grad
uating class of the high school spent
an enjoyable evening last night at
the reception given by the Alumni
Association In the school building.
The party was given to the seniors
and the 1912 members took yes
terday as a means of showing their
anxiety to become alumni. A short
business session was held to open
the meeting and the nomination as
we'll as election of officers were held.
Jack Klein. a popular lawyer, was
chosen to act as chairman OF the
organization, Miss Mamma Brennan

cyan, will act as secretary. The
officers elected yesterday will hold
their term until next year. No other

In the "Clothespin Race" which
was one of tire feature events OF
the evening, the girls o against
the boys. All the girls formed one
row. with Miss Rose Mccormick as
their leaer, while the boys with John
Polensky as their commander, com
posed another row. A number or
clothespins were given to each cap
tain and these were passed on until
the group of forked pieces of wood
reached the last one of the crew.
Then the group was returned. but
this time, only one ~clothespin
was passed at q time. The team
which received the last c~lothespin
first, was pronounced the winner.
Through extreme gracefulness In
handling the wooden pieces, the fe-
males had no trouble in capturing
this event. Dancing was then en-
toyed, the music being given by Miss
Ruth Fletcher, Jack Klein and VIII

How He Felt About II,

There was one man in Indianapolis
this week, who could appreciate the
position of the man in the musical
comedy, ga Modern Eve" who is the
hen-pecked husband of a suffragette.
Whether the understanding one is a
resident of the city or whether he is
one of the state fair visitors remains
O mystery, but he is not in sympathy
with the suffrage leader depicted in
the play. He was a diminutive per-
sonage with long, flowing whiskers
and very meek countenance.
The husband, who was dominated
by his wife, had summoned sufficient
courage to speak of the matter His
narrative of his troubles ended with
the lines, Nov. am tired of this,
am going to assert myself"
The audience applauded and the
small man was especially elated. "Bul-
ly," he cried. The exclamation brought
forth more applause than the lines
