Seniors of Grcnada College Honored
BY Sister Class.

On Friday evening of last week,
january 80, the Sophomore Class of
Grenada College entertained their
Senior sisters with a Butterfly ban
touet at the Planters Hotel in Gre
NADIA. The event was somewhat
unique in the history of the College
and naturally the Seniors looked for
ward to what was planned with more
than many bright anticipations.
The dining room of the hotel was
very beautifully decorated. The
surroundings were such as to >kindle
the very best college spirit and to
make all present love all the more
Grenada College. From the center
light in the dining room, streamers
ran to all parts Of the ceiling from
which hung myriads of gaily colored
butterflies. Over the center of the
table were suspended two immense
green and pink butterflies and large
basket of black-eyed Susans served
as the center piece. The place cards
were handpainted butterflies and at
each plate there was little cOlored
basket Of mints with tiny butterfly
perched on the handle.
The dinner was served in five
courses, and after the first course.
Miss Willie Sue Mcpherson, presi-
dent of the Sophomore Glass, intro
duced Miss Elizabeth Jones, the
toast mistress of the evening. Miss
Jones gave a toast to DIR. J. R. Coun-
tiss, Miss Dean, the Senior Sponsor
and the Seniors who in their turn re-
sponded. The Toast Mistress show
ed most remarkable cleverness and
was indeed happy in what she said.
The Seniors in their responses were
felicitious and showed that
even though they were novices in q
banquet hall, they knew the arts ne
cessary to ''get by"
The menu was a tribute to the
|Sophomores and was delightfully."-
served. After the last course, the
Sophomores arose and sang their
Class song and song to the Seniors
after which they gave a "yell" to
the Seniors which was most heartily
responded to by their sister Class.
|, The evening will be one that will
linger in the minds of these young
ladies SO long as they may live, and
when the shadows begin to lengthen
and when they see that their Sun is
nearing its western horizon, their
aaiodk ussss- ran 4 lat.,. and sxfAezx ~
the sweet and placid things Uf life,
but there will be few that will recall
more placid memories or that viii
bring back more quickly the bloom
and radiance of youth than the ban
Fauet rendered the Seniors of Grennda
College of the session of 1919-1920
by their Sisters, the Sophomores.
This paper wishes that life may pour
