The 12A class party, which was
held in the boys gymnasium, Friday
afternoon, was great success In
every way. The entertainment start
ed with grand march, in which all
participated. During the process OF
the march. Santa Claus slid down the
chimney and emerged from the fire
place, which had been constructed in
one corner OF the gym. AT the con.
cluslon OF the march, all took seats
and Santa Claus proceeded to distrib-
ute presents TO everybody. The pres.
ents consisted of ridiculous 10-cent
toys. Two popular teachers who at
tended the party, received little tin
wagon and toy horse on wheels, re-
spectively. After hitching the horse
to the wagon and placing In the wag-
on q grotesque man with q wobbling
mead, the present received by one of
the grade principals, they passed in
array before the crowd and caused a
great deal OF laughter. The rest of
the program consisted Of dancing and
race by three OF the 12-A boys. The
race was very excitable affair, each
contestant had to pick up his over
coat, rubbers, hat, and gloves, and
run TO the opposite end of the gym
nasium, put them on, run back TO the
other end of the gym and take them
on. The one doing this the quickest
received pop-gun for his trouble.
This party was. without a doubt the
best the class has held, and a great
deal or credit is due the social com.
mittee who got ii up.
All the poets and musicians of tho

for their schools far more than any
experience they could have.
