Saturday evening the upper class
men, faculty and few invited guests
were entertained at novel Valentine
party given by the Freshmen. The
guests were ushered in the Chapel
which was most beautifully decorated
with streamers of red and white,
draped from one end Of the large room
to the other. Nine little tables were
scattered thruout the room, on which
white candles and red hearts were
placed. The whole room presented a
most dazzling appearance. A violin
duet by O. K. Lundeberg and Gladys
Garness, accompanied by Agnes Lin
nevold on the piano was well received.
Inspired by the beauty of the room
and the charming music, the guests
were enthusiastic about the unique
stunts which were to follow. A Heart
Hunt was announced and it did not
take long before every individual was
busy searching in hooks and corners
for the hearts, which had been careful
ly hidden. Doris Bliven proved to be
the most successful in this undertake
ing and captured the prize. Then the
guests were seated around tables and
given red cardboard and other mater
ial for making valentines. Everyone
ransacked his imagination and COM
! posed poems to follow which were read
aloud, and some of them would have
even made old Saint Valentines eyes
| twinkle, could he have heard them.
A small bottle was next passed around
which contained little heart candies.
Each guest was allowed glimpse at
| it, and then they had to guess how
| many candies there were in the bot
tie. lie anyone wishes to know how
many candies the bottle contained,
they can gain same information by
asking Sena Bergum. Delicious re-
freshments were then served and
| when the guests had finished partak-
| ing of the repast, the room was
cleared. The guests were soon seen
on the floor playing Kjaerringen med
| Staven. The evenings merrlment
came to an end all too soon. After
| the Grand March and the strains from
the piano of "Good Night Ladies"
sung by the boys, each one was re-
luctant to retrace their steps home
ward. The Freshmen cannot be ac-
cored too much praise. Every stunt
had been worked out to the smallest
| detail. The party showed clevernesss
| and thoughtfulness on their part, and
| it is only hoped that they will favor
us with another party before the end
of the school year. Hurrah for the
Freshmen!
