 All the classes have now celebrated q class day. Of'all the costums worn in celebration of class days the sen iors had the best. The boys were dressed up As knights of the road while the girls were dressed as Red Gross nurses. Tho juniors on thef class day were perhaps next to the seniors for original ''Ynake-ups." Tho boys made a good showing in their white flannel trousers and red bow ties. The junior girls were more pa triotic than the boys, wearing red. white and blue dresses. The sopho- mores on their day showed desire to be of the farm the boys being "rigged" up as farmers. The girls completed the combination by posing as milk maids.

THE COLONIAL BALL.

The Colonial Ball, given at the Santa Cruz Club in honor of the one hundred and eighty. fifth an- niverSary of the birth of George Washington, father and first president of the United States, was perfect.
 The large ball room was art isically decorated with American flags and electric lights, the work having been done by the soldier boys, who are entitled to much praise.
 At big glowing fireplace sat Betsy Ross (Mrs. Sam Leeker) in the act of making an Amer ican flag, which she presented to General Washington Edward Mix
 Around them was a score of their friends dressed in colonial costumes, elegant and handsome.
 When the 12th Infantry or chestra played "The Star Spang- led Banner" two large, beauti- fu1 flags unfolded in the center of the ball room suspended by wires, while those present stood attention, out of respect for our national anthem.
 Those who danced and those who didn't, had a most delight ful time until late hour. All pronounced Washington's Birth day dance, the crOwning social affair of the year.
