was lnStitiltaH
ago. The class of 1922 party was held
IN the Bingham hotel on Thursday
evening. The seniors left Skowbe
gan at four P. NJ, on a special car.
Nhllc leaving town two juniors
boarded the regular car and went
through to Madison. These two
juniors when arriving in Madison
suddenly became the unwilling guests
OF the seniors. Two two guests ac-
companied the seniors to the train
leaving for Bingham. When the
train pulled out the juniors were set
free but one senior was detained. At
Anson three seniors returned to Mad
lson for the detained member. These
tour seniors arrived in Bingham
about nine O'Clock completing the
party with the chaperopes, who were

Bingham aboard the town tractor
with trailer being driven by Enroll

with music by members of thS class
and cards were enjoyed. The Juniors
arrived about $50 A. NJ, Friday, but

long journey. 1t is safe to say that
the juniors made as great an effort
to interrupt the 1922 curling party as
has ever been made, whatever the
success or non success of the effort.
The next morning the seniors pro-
ceeded on their return to Skowhegan.
On arriving at the station in Bing-
ham they found the juniors who
thought they would go home with
their elders as all good children
should. In arriving in Madison, the
seniors, being in the front end, ar
rived first. Going to the electric cars
the juniors thinking they wanted to
arrive in Skowhegan first took the
wrong car taking the seniors spc ial
