OF the club, all male, were unof-

protruding lips, ETC., were noted
carefully. Then began the actual
process of making up. Color

dulled with powder. Final touch
es were added such as frowns and
eyelash coloring. We observed the

social Hour

The plan of allotting the time
from 1905 to 1920 for a social
hour in which records are played
and the students dance, has been
continued this year with certain
changes.
One of these new ideas has been
the installment Of a contribution
box. Students who are able, do
nate as much as they feel they can
give to this fund The money is
then used to purchase new records
and, if enough is received, to Sc
cure an extra school party this
year.
The students from the seventh
to the twelfth grades participate.
The purpose Of this enterprise is to
teach all of these students to dance
or become more proficient at dane
ing. The slogan is mo Wallfow-
ers" and, especially during fast
music, the slogan is respected.
Many of the pupils have suggest
ed that we have the Social Hour
more often than twice a week.
Anoher new idea is the abolish
ment Of 'Cutting-in" except for
certain announced dances. We wish
to thank those who have lent the
school records until we shall have
secured some of our own.
Lets see our Social Hour on to
new and higher heights!

become a senator brought about a
deadlock at several sessions of the
Legislature with the result that in
1903 both Delaware seats in the
United States Senate were vacant.
DeadlOcked All Winter
All during the winter of 1903 the
Legislature was still deadlocked on
the senatorial question. Late in
the session, when Addicks saw that
ne could not be elected, he agreed
TO a compromise which brought
about the election of Mr.. Alice for
the long term and DR.. L. Heisler
Ball for the short term. They were
elected March 2, 1903. They were
state chairmen of the rival Repub-
Acan organizations. Because of
tne previous deadlocks the long
term had but four years and the
snort term but two years to run.
Mr.. Alice served out his four years
in the Senate.
\ Several years later Senator Alice
sold his jewelry business and for
several years with his son operated
Two large canneries. He had re-
tred from business some years ago
put never lost his interest in pol
ltlcs. His son, who is a lawyer as
well as newspaper publisher, was
elected to the State Senate for one
Term and has been more or less ac-
i've in Republican politics.
