once more INDUCED in the curling
party participated in just once in a
lifetime by many of the graduates of
this time-honored institution of learn
ing. The happy event occurred mys-
teriously as others have done dur
ing Wednesday night, but the boys
and girls doubtless chose a place for
their rendezvous different from any
of the other classes as they selected
this year the Town hall at Norridge-
wock for their party. AS usual the
juniors got wise that something was
in the air and tagged" along to
NorridgeWock. Unable to gain ad-
mittance to the curling scene, how
ever. they came back to SkoWhegan
waiting patiently for the advent of
their upper classmen. The seniors
left NorridgeWOck about l o'clock in
the morning and then took up their
headquarters in Grand Army. hall
here, where refreshments from Sy-
monds were served. Again the jun
iors tried to gain admittance to the
secret place Of their older and wiser
school fellows, but according to the
seniors they were again unsuccessful.
During the night after refreshment
time the seniors with their two chap
erones, Miss Morgan and Miss Bar
nett of the faculty, started on a night
parade to the accompaniment of all
sorts of noisy accomplishments. For
a time sleepy Skowhegan people de-
cided that peace had been declared
but then cettled down to their slum-
bers, deciding that the seniors had
again fooled them. The students
marched to the homes Of the differ
ent members Of the faculty and fl
nally returned to their homes. They
paraded the streets, however, Thurs
day morning in their fanciful garb,
vert to the high school building in
q body and presented framed pic
lures to the institution, later having
their photographs taken at Huffs.
The get-up of the parade uniforms
was as good as was ever seen on
similar occasions.
