ZHkZ Dil C- HKZ Tlie Senior- SENIORS, pondering upon an appropriate vly way in which to entertain the Juniors, hit upon the plan of the Tacky Party. So, on Novem- ber 23rd the whole Junior class, attended by the Faculty, arrived at seven thirty, the specified time. Oh, the costumes! There are not enough words to describe them. Mildred, as Miss Cynthia Perkins, received the guests. We then passed around light refreshments of all-day suckers, chewing-gum, peanuts and ice-water punch. The crowd divided into three groups and played “Up Jinks” and the school shook with the laughter of the participants. Then we all lined up for “Cross Questions and Silly Answers.” Miss Rich and Mildred did not join in the fun but judging from the sounds of uncontrol- lable laughter which came from their corners, they enjoyed it as much as the players. Candy was passed around and the boys and girls matched pieces to find partners for supper. This time we served sandwiches and orange juice, the Domestic Science room furnishing the granite dishes for the beverage. After supper prizes were awarded to the tack- Junior Party iest boy and the tackiest girl. Mr. Lunder and Ida Seals were the lucky ones. The prizes were bottles of exquisite (?) Cologne. Then we played “Snake.” This game, I be- lieve, gave the Juniors the idea that we Seniors were not as dignified as we made out we were, for they treated us from then on as equals, not as superiors. The evening was finished with a game of “Wink’ um.” We had in order to let the Juniors know how to act without having to undergo the embarrassment of being openly reproved, put up signs all over the room upon which were written pretty plain hints. Upon one was, “No Winking Allowed.” Now this sign made it very uncomfort- able for us; here we had proposed a game that would force our guests either to disregard our signs or to stay out of the game. One of our fellow students hit upon a wise plan. He removed the sign, unseen by the Juniors, and unhindered by this hint, they enjoyed the game immensely.

We weren t sur- prised at Mr. Lunder, for we had known him for two months. Miss Rich and Miss Worcester, in- stead of demurely casting down their eyes upon being winked at jumped up in response proving ZX K = MICZZ3IICQ how little we knew them. We had a jolly time, which was overshadowed by the absence of two Seniors, Feroll and Robert, and one teacher, Miss Gale. Would that they could have seen how natural (?) the Juniors and Faculty had looked. As I said before, words cannot describe it.
