Junior ReceDtiOn

| and Senior class colors in the dec
orations, was one of the outstanding
| beautiful features of the junior re-
ception given the seniors and faculty
| Saturday night in the high school
building. In all about 12O were
present.
Leading from the front door up
the stairway into the main hall was
canopy of the junior colors-pur-
pie and gold, in crepe paper stream
lcome.'' About the sign were the
senior colors-orange ana black.
Ascending the stairway to the first
| hall, was handsome, genuine moss
covered bank extending to the top
of the drinking fount, which was
transformed into a miniature flow
| ing fountain. About the mossy
bank were ferns, and with the soft
shaded lights the effect was most
beautiful.
After assembling in this hall, the
classes were escorted to their nlaces,
in the auditorium, by Miss Hollis
Lenhart. Junior class advisor, and
seated, four being at each table. The
seniors occupied the right of the
hall, and the juniors the left. The
auditorium decorations were of ex-
quisite beauty, representing Jap
anese garden. Overhead was green
lattice work, with trimmings OF
sweet locust, wild honeysuckle and
dogwood blossoms. About the walls
and enclosing the orchestra pergola
were the crepe streamers. Floor
lamps with their sillxen shades add
ed to the decorations, and these
with the small tables contain
ing candles with shades in combina-
together with place cards, programs
and menu all combined, made the
entire setting fit for any sort OF oc-
casion. no matter how elaborate.
The favors for the senior tables
were CLOTHES PIN students all tog-
ged out in the class colors, with cap
and gown, while the Junior favors
were the same, excepting the head
gear, which was Ounce caps.
The menu was served in four
courses and consisted of fruit cock
tail, chicken fricassee, mashed pota-
toes, buttered peas, rolls, pickles,
coffee, macadoine salad, crackers,
white cake and Neapolitan ice
cream. Some idea of the delectabili-
ty of the banquet may the better be
obtained when it is known that the
, mothers of the juniors did all the
catering. Young ladies OF last years
class served.
Mr.. Edgar Northrup, junior presi-
dent, presided as POSTMASTER in a
very capable manner, making most
appropriate address. The response
was ably given by Mr.. Leland Jenk-
ins, senior class president. Miss
Hollis Lenhart. Junior class advisor,
cleverly gave the history of the class
in rhyme. Prof. Bishop, senior
class advisor, made fine, practical
address, and while not on the pro-
gram, Supt Fulks also gave time
ly appropriate talk. Other features
of an entertaining nature included a
take off on high school faculty
meeting.
The orchestra was a topnotcher,
with the following artists: Mrs.
Justus Alderman, piano; Harold
Savage, cornet; Carl Ross, from
bone; Albert Miller, clarinet, all To-
cal players, and Messrs. Ballinger,
violin; Davis, saXophone and Laugh
head, drums. from GAINESVILLE.
Madamoiselle SibZanyklOvicky
sang, which reduced to plain English
was a solo by Mr.. Wayne Jackson,
garbed in yellow tissue paper
frock The singing was splendid,
but the frock was not strong enough
to stand the strain, hardly keeping
iptact and in order tn not lessen the
dignity of the occasion, the singer
had to make his exit with his face
squarely towards the audience. No
other mishaps have been reported, to
us.
Everything considered it was a
very delightful affair throughout,
and a pronounced success from ey-
cry standpoint.
