There are twelve boys and only four girls, making it im- possible to give an ordinary party. The girls were invited to An Evening with Four Chapters at the home of De Forest Reichard, where they found four of the boys, After refreshments, they were taken to the home of W. A. Ellis, and from there to the home of D. W. Knoll, four different boys acting as hosts at each place. The four teachers of the Course, Messrs. Francis, Wag- ner, Carlson and Brown, acted as hosts at the fourth place, the home of E. W. Fuller, for a few moments, when the folding doors were opened and all the boys were discovered in the next room. Ice cream and cake was served, and souvenirs of the occasion were given the girls. The decorations at each place were in the class colors, red and white. The event was especially enjoyable on account of its being a genuine surprise to the girls. A jolly crowd of eight couple, chaperoned by Milton Carlson and wife, went on a tally-ho ride to Devil's Gate, April 22d. After a pleasant drive through the surrounding country, includ- ing a stop-over at Verdugo Park, the party returned to the city in excellent spirits. The party consisted of Misses Ryder, Camp- bell, Dana, Arnaelstein, Fairbanks, Russell, Handley and Linden- feld. Messrs. Canheld, Rees, Grayson, McCarty, Miller, Raleigh, Danziger and Salyer, and Mr. and Mrs. Carlson. The most en- joyable event of the day was the charge of the Spanish Cavaliers at Verdugo Park g they charged 31.50 as toll for the use of the park. In response to a mysteriously worded invitation given them by the girls, the boys of the graduating class presented themselves at the door of Room 5, Sand-street building, Thursday, April Qoth, at noon, where they were handsomely entertained by the girls. Refreshments were served and toasts were given by the teachers a.nd members of the class. One beautiful day in April, a happy, expectant group of stu- dents of the C. C. might have been seen at Fourth street wait- ing for the too slow Pasadena car to carry them to Rubio Canon, where the most magnificent scenery of Southern California is sup- posed to be found. Many were the pleasant events of the jour-

The purpose of the club is not only to give its members facility in debating the leading questions of the day, but also to enable them to become adepts in Parlia- mentary law. The casual visitor might be astounded upon hear- ing a resolution to return a vote of thanks to a certain mem- ber amended so as to read a vote of censure, and the amend- ment ably defended by some of the members, but this is only to give the boys and girls skill in seeking the advantages or defects in Parliamentary questions. Some of the members are marvels, indeed, when it comes to putting questions or stating obj ections. The meetings are held every other Tuesday afternoon imme- diately after school, and visitors are always Welcome. Some of the most interesting questions discussed by the Club at various times during the year have been: Resolved, that the United States should hold the Philippines 3 That the negroes of the South should be deprived ofthe right of suffrage 5 That labor unions are detrimental to the country, and That immigration should be further restricted. Several interesting essays have also been read. A short time since the High School Parliament visited the Club and took an active part in the meeting, and at present Writing the Club is considering a challenge from the Parliament to a joint debate. The officers of the Club are I. M. Danziger, president, B. F. Hopkins, vice-president 3 Miss Emily E. Young, secretary 3 Miss Mazeppa Guyer, treasurer, and B. F. Hopkins, E. L. Hedderly and Clarence Grayson, executive committee. 5

C. yell sounded and resounded in the narrow canon. Soon the delightful climb to the top was in order. After safely de- positing the lunches where they do the most good, games of many descriptions were played on the highly polished floor of the pa- vilion. After a very enjoyable day, the party returned on the four o' clock train with Mr. Francis as escort. The excursion was one to be long remembered by all the participants. The L. M.
