reunion Of the class of Is one of the
bright lights of the holiday season.

Of three lights which were grouped
around the walls Of the rooms into
orchids with concentrated stems Of
green and red The stage, from which
TIE strains of music furnished by
~Jobnstone's orchestra, was formed
into a latticed window with portieres
through which the musicians seemed
TO peer at the dancers.
The rest of the room divided be-
tween the red and green of the yule-
log season and the blue and white of
the class. TheSe~color combinations
were made in unique amer

with gifts and following a grand
march which led t h lassies to one
and the lads to another, each taking
n gift from the tree, duplicates being
the order of the dance, partners were
thus selected for supper.
The -mementos of the evening were
then distributed, and the verse con-
nected with each was read and al
