accommodate the crowd and to
decorate appropriately the party
was held in the Colvos hall.

compelled them, with ten other
m;nitiated to ride the goat. The
last culprit Frank Johnson, broke
the poor goats back.
The program committee, com
posed of Consuelo Ramquist, Dor
othy Shipley and Arthur Han
son planned the games and stunts
with a Christmas tree as a fitting
climax of the evening. Each
Twilightcr received a joke-pres-
ent, with an appropriate verse
attached, which was read for the
amusement of the crowd and the
embarrassment of the receiver.
The club paper known as "Chin
and Chatter" was read, much to
the enjoyment of the hearers, af-
ter which a cup of hot coffee with
cake and sandwiches afforded the
necessary stimulus to venture
forth into the snow at midnight.
