THURSDAY evening. April
27. 1922. marked the in
suKuration of q new event
in the life Of Business High
School, "The Fscgradalum." It
WAS in the form Of a reception
to the faculty and senior class
of June. '22. This gala event
marks the first coming together
Of that eternal triangle which
constitutes the very life and
energy Of every high school,
the faculty, alumni. and senior
class, and Il was a memorable
occasion.
The work Of tho association this
year has been more spirited than
ever. Starting out, last June. with
a whiriwind drive for a new school,
IL has scored tho following sue
cesses: Seven splendid dances; has
made q strong four-year course
plea to the students now in school:
publishes a snappy bi-monthly
paper: put over a great vaudeville
entertainment, and the association
is now working very hard to make
the excursion this year better than
ever. When one looks over these
accomplishments It can readily be
seen that no stone was left un-
turned in affording those present
a very delightful evening.
Several high-class entertainers
were on hand with a willingness
to sing that night. A recitation by
Mr.. Elton B. Taylor, a well-known
Washington amateur performer.
and singing by different members
OF the association kept everyone
happy.
The committee in charge consist
ed Of Misses Marguerite McDon-
ough. 1s. chairman; and Marian

Messrs. James c. Wilkes. II: Hen

splendid cooperation given by th.

We have another sure sign of

hockey teams have begun practice.
Several weeks ago they jumped
into their gym clothes, seized their
hockey sticks, and ran outside,
full of pep, to enjoy their first
game. 1t took no little time to
clear" a space for them, but It
was finally accomplished. and they
set to work.
After some OF the experienced
players had explained the game to
the new ones, they chose sides and
started to play.

astic over the game that she broke
her stick in two pieces.
