On Wednesday evening Of the past
week a valentine social was held at
the Methodist church for the members
of the EpWorth League and their
friends, Prof. o. r. Bentley and wife
being host and hostess. There was a
large attendance and one of the finest
OF times was enjoyed by each one pres
ent. A splendid program had been
prepared for the occasion, which be.
gan at about 8:15. The first number
was pretty instrumental solo by Miss
Vivian Sharp, which was listened to
with much pleasure. Miss Ruby Baber
then favored the audience with a
humorous reading. after which news
paper was read by Loren Thomas, this
also creating much pleasure and amuse
ment. The next number was a beauti-
full violin solo by Miss Muriel Barton
with piano accompaniment by Miss
Vivian Sharp and following this came
another humorous reading given by
Miss Mabel Thomas. Misses Iona
Wiley and Hazel Judd then appeared
on the program with a vocal duet that,
needless to say was also very much
enjoyed. When the next number was
announced. which was quartet by
Rev. A. B. Adams, Prof o. r. Bentley,
and the Misses Martha Weiss and Dor
othy Rule, with Miss Ruby Rolls as
accompanist, the audience looked rath-
err surprised when those having part
took their places in a most ungainly
manner but much greater became the
establishment when they began sing
ing Each one presented a different
selection which was indeed laughable.
This amusing feature concluded the
rnN hn ,nr}c s,,,vt
ed to the basement where most de.
lightful social hour was enjoyed. Sever
al clever games had been arranged for
the event which were played through
out the evening. First the company
were requested to form a circle and
three persons who had been selected
to represent different colleges were
blindfolded, after which each was Civ
en- the opportunity Of choosing the per-
sons for their side by standing in the
center of the large circle and pointing
out the persons. The three leaders
were Lewis Buss and Misses Josephine
Stepanek and Nellie Fishel. The for
mer represented Yale. Miss Stepanek,
Harvard and the latter. Drake After
the different sides had been chosen
the college yells were given, which
caused much merriment. A cracker
eating game was given. followed by a
brain testing contest, must enjoyment
being derived from them Both were
won by Harvard, they also winning
in another game of Marching to Je.
rusalem.' Another pleasant feature
was. a game Of throwing at paper
hearts which were placed on the wall,
in which Yale came out victorious.
Last but not least came a most delic-
ious luncheon which had been pre-
pared by Mrs. Ida Talcott, Mrs. Mer-
rill Sharp and Miss Vivian Sharp, the
luncheon being served in the cafeteria
style. The company then reluctantly
broke up. having spent very pleas
