Freshmen Give Party. Members Of
the Rock class gave their second social
affair this year when on Saturday
evening members Of the class and fac.
luty gathered at the high school gym
for an evening Of games and refresh
ments, but alas some one made away
with the Ice cream as usual This Is
the first time for several years that
any one has been successful in making
