SOCIAL EVENTS.
On October 26, the Seniors opened
the social season by entertaining the
Faculty and Juniors.
The gymnasium was a blaze of glo-
ry with the RED and BLUE which
blended beautifully with the autumn
leaves which hung in garlands along
the sides of the hall. A banner of
RED and BLUE with the numbers
1917 on it completely covered one end
of the room and GOLD GLORY dec
GRATED the other.
Everybody united to make the even
ing a success and merriment reigned
supreme. Much laughter was provi-
ded by the stunts performed by those
who took part in the hat game. Con-
tests were held and appropriate pri-
yes were given to the winners.
Everyone voted the evening a sue
cess and the guests wish to publicly
thank the Seniors for the good time.
On Saturday, November IS, the
Seniors again entertained. This time
it was a good old fashioned Box Par
ty and Prize Drawing.
Drawing and games We're enjoyed
by all, but fun reached the climax
when the lunch boxes We're auctioned
off. The competition and the prices
paid for some of the boxes made it
appear as if some of the buyers had
inside information as to the owners.
All students who had taken chances
had brilliant dreams as to how they
going to spend the Five Dollar
Gold Piece, but these dreams were
rudely shattered when it was found
that Miss Evelyn Peacock was the
fortunate one.
At a late hour the guests departed,
all declaring that the RED and BLUE
knew how to entertain.
The Sophomore Glass gave a recep-
ton to the Faculty and Freshmen on
Friday, November 10.
The first part of the evening was
spent in the auditorium of the High
School building, where a delightful
program, consisting of vocal and in
strumental solos and readings was
rendered.
Later, all adjourned to the gymna-
SUM which was decorated in Sophie
more and Freshman colors.
Each Freshman was presented with
a green cap and was sentenced by
the Supreme Court of the Sophomore
Glass to perform some stunt as a PEN
atty for such serious charges as bold
ness and disrespect to their super
Tors.
In the contest which followed be-
tween the Sophomores and the Fresh
men, the Freshmen succeeded in win
ming four of the five contests.
The whole affair was a success, as
its purpose was accomplished-name-
ly, to promote a friendly feeling be-
tween the two classes.
