Alumni and friends of Kents Hill
Seminary gathered from far and near
Friday evening to enjoy together the
2Sth annual Senior reception, the lead
ing social function of the winter season
at this old academy. Young and old.
members of classes recent and of
classes distant in point of time, met to-
gether for this annual entertainment,
an event that is only rivaled by Com
mencement itself. In fact as one guest
was heard to remark, Senior reception
is even more gorgeous. more enjoyable,
more splendid than Commencement for
it lacked the note of sadness so often
present when sChoolmates meet for the
last time as students. In last eve
ning's festivities there was no minor
chord, all was merry, blithesome and
gay and an event transpired that may
we'll be written into the history of the
Maine Wesleyan Seminary as one of
the best occasions of it's kind ever
held.
Under the very able direction of Miss
Stevens of the Oratory Department,
the class presented a very difficult farce
comedy in three acts, entitled eff /
Only Had Million" Ivy Jay Clay
Powers. Tho play taken as q whole
gave every appearance of thorough
preparation and careful study of the
difficult roles Many long and tedious
rehearsals must have been held to
bring a comedy Of this type to SO com
plete a stage Of perfection, for the cast
contained only amateur performers,
many of whom were acting for the
first time. Yet in spite of the initial
stage performance of so many Of the
characters, the play was we'll given and
in charge of the work.
The musical numbers We're excel
lent. The orchestral overture was en-
titled. The Bridal Rose" and was we'll
played by members of the school I'M
der the direction Of Miss Woodward Of
the faculty Miss Woodward played a
BEAUTIFUL violin solo also. Miss Mac
kenna Of the Conservatory sang a So
prano solo in her clear, well placed
voice. Her number entitled, "Chansor
Triste" was a finished performance and
showed the advanced training of the
professional singer 81" was oncored
enthusiastically and rendered a sweet
little song that was particularly suited
to her voice
After the play committee of
Juniors served refreshments. After
this short in.nrmission tho company
repaired to til" gymnasium where
delightful surprise awaited them. Miss
Frances Quincy Of Boston assisted by
n committee Of her classmates had
prepared very elaborate decorations of
winter green and rcd roses. Banners
were placed iii every available space
and the room was brilliantly lighted
with high voltage lights. One corner
was decorated exclusively in kents
Hill colors. The dormitory girls made
the little red roses that adorned every
nook and corner and the boy scouts
hauled in the fir boughs.
A receiving line of ten was formed
shortly after assembling in the hall
made up as follows: Prin. and Mrs. J.
O. Newton. Miss Davis, Mr.. and Mrs.
II. Y. Smith. Daisy Stevens. Robert
Newton and the other class officers.
After the reception proper came
