Hie Se O N FEBRUARY 17, 1919, the Seniors showed their appreciation of the faculty by giving them a really good feast. It seemed to help their feeling wonderfully, for there were no more scowls that day. At 12:30 sharp, every Senior made his way to the domestic science room, where the eats were stored. There was some little trouble in per- suading the boys to wait for the Faculty, but the delinquents soon arrived and everyone went to work very heartily. The girls of the class surely showed their ability as cooks. Olives, sandwiches, ice cream, cake and grapejuice were served, and the ice cream was es- nor Feast pecially acceptable. After the feast Prof. Reece gave a demonstration of his ability as an orator. He made a wonderful speech about everything in gen- eral and nothing in particular. But the lunch period was soon ended and we were sorry for once to see the Faculty leave. Being Seniors, the class was allowed to stay downstairs part of the afternoon and wash dishes. A few boys were not familiar with this task, so they were given am ple opportunities to learn the art. But all good things must come to an end, and the feast finally did, to the sorrow of all. FRED KILGORE, 19.
