The strawberry festival given b,
the Sunshine Society was a yer!
pleasant social affair. The hall wa
tastefully decorated in yellow, tn,
Sunshine color. The front of the stag,
was banked with green leaves anC
peonies and altogether it made
charming scene. Miss Ethel BroWI
presided at the piano while six charm
ingly gOwned young girls sang {
song Of spring. Mrs. L. L. Carlisle al.
so played several selections. Delicious
strawberry shOrtcake, ice cream anC
cake were served. The sales of the
evening amount to over $50.
On Wednesday evening of last week
the annual banquet of the Alumni AS
sociatiOn was held. Owing to the
crowded condition of the hall on prev
ious occasions the attendance this
year was limited to the real member
ship, both active and honorary. I'm
der the direction of Prof. Jones, chair
man of decorations, the hall was quite
festive with all the colors Of the var
iOus classes in festoons Of crepe pa
per. BlOssoming laurel with daisies
and crimson ramblers were banked in
front of the stage while the class PEN
nants were artistically arranged on
the walls. Three long tables adorned
with red roses were arranged the en-
tire length Of the hall and the guests
were seated at their places on their
arrival. The principal feature of the
evening was the play written by Miss
Dorothy Mitten. It was simply splen-
did and sparkled with wit and humor
and speaks well for the literary at
tainments of the young authoress who
is also a favorite with Frederick aud
fences for her delightful readings.
The characters in the play were taken
by the graduates of the Glass Of 1922.
They were all fine and their tOwnspeo-
pie are proud of them. The following
is the program: Introductory remarks

rington of New York. Singing, Gam

Play, Class of 1922. Music, Miss jean
nette Belts, violin; Watson Belts, cor
net, Miss Mary Moss, piano. Last will
and testament of Glass Of 1922, by
Watson Belts. This provoked much
merriment as the juniors walked up
on the stage to receive their legacies.
At the banquet Miss Moss presided
as toast mistress and preceded her
intrOductiOns with some witty re-
marks. The first response was given
by Harry F. Mitten, who gave an en-
jOyable talk. This was followed by two
delightful readings by Miss Katherine
Spencer, Of Philadelphia. The next
toast was given by DR.. W. F. Hoey
whose remarks showed that he is a
deep thinker He always talks well. !
The Glass History, beautifully writ
ten by the class poet, Miss Jeanette |
