On March 1st each member of the class received a unique invitation to attend a party given by Charles Curzon and Charles Peery at the home of the latter. The following evening they assembled and had a very pleasant time. A delicious two course luncheon was served and each guest received a beautiful carnation as a souvenir.

Lillian Ginn was absent a week on account of sickness. Paul Quackenbush has been absent from his classes as he is visiting relatives in DeWitt, Nebraska. John Simmons recently spent the afternoon at school. On the evening of March 10th was to have occurred a Junior class party, but the snow was just right for sleighing, so we packed into a bob sled and went for a ride instead. Although the boys missed their icecream they soon forgot it in their attempts to eat all the candy the girls brought. The Junior class in Latin having completed Cicero’s Four Orations Against Catiline, are now studying his minor orations. We are confident that it was the Special Delegation ’ from the Junior class that influenced our A. H. S. debators to win at Tecumseh.

9 SCRALET AND GREEN 5 SOPHMORE SOPHISTRY Pearle Redfern is back again after a few days of absence. Ralph Quackenbush spent a few days in Dewitt the latter part of last week. Hazel Reed enjoyed a day’s vacation in Omaha last Friday. Although the evening of February 22ad was very djsmal and rainy, a most cheerful crowd of Sophomores gathered at the Friday Club hall. Refreshments are a very important factor to the Sophomores and when the social committee had finally succeeded in chasing a few naughty class mates out of the kitchen they devottd the rest of the evening to various games and amusements. At a late hour the refreshments were I passed and, of course, eaten. Soon afterwards the Sophomores departed much elated over the success of the party. In a recent meeting of the Sophomore class the motion for securing class pins was lost, but it was voted to have a class picture put in the Annual. The Sophomore class assembled last Wednesday night at the schoolbouse for a sleigh ride. The sleigh arrived about seven-thirty and everybody dim’ ed in. On account of the lack of snow in the main roads we were compelled to secure another team. Everything went on smoothly for a while until we started down a side street. There we were assailed by a volley of “ice ’ balls from some hidden fortress. In crouching down to evade the missiles, the sideboards were broken and out tumbled a bunch of frightened Sophomores No one was hurt, however, and we soon crowded back into the sleigh to start for home. We have just completed our study of Silas Marner in English. r ft FRESHMEN FRIVOLITIES Amo, pugno, Dogs and cats.
