The room was beautifully decorated in orange and black. Yellow ward roses tied with small baby ribbon leading to each place and holding a fortune in a small paper, stood in the center of the table. XYith Miss Angeline Kincaide as toastmistress the program was opened with a word of greeting from the Dean of Girls, Mrs. Hostetler, followed by Mrs. Nelsoirs A XYord and a Half, and Miss Yoder's The Remaining Half. The President of Aristos, Miss Dorothy Dearth, and the Vice- President of Agora, Miss Reba Hugenberger, gave short talks on Good Fellowship . Miss Anne Russell's humorous reading was well received. This was followed by A XYord of Greeting from Principal Deam. The remainder of the evening was spent in dancing in the gymnasium where the prophecy was read by Miss Nancy Hill. Both members and guests will long remember this as one of the most delightful affairs of the season. llllllll lllllllllllliiii fllllllllllllllllllll l

dag. ,-ef'23m.e..:v e. g AN JDDEQQQ, i:fC 5'f':z,.4 The Junior-Senior Reception As we go to press, the plans for the annual junior-Senior reception still remain a mystery. In spite of the many efforts and plans of the social editors to pry into the secrets of the Junior social committee, the plans have not been disclosed to the eager ears of our editors. Judging from previous years, this function should be extraordinary. An unsolved mystery is always a fascination to curious people and we Seniors wonder what this social function given in our honor will be. tXYe never knew our little .luniors were so secretiveil XYill the affair be exquisite in decorating and will we all have an unusually gay and happy time? Can it exceed the plans of previous years? Surely with all this secrecy it should, although we Seniors think ours still holds the supremacy! I-low long we continue to hold this is to be proved. Let this little note be a reminder to the readers that there was a social function given by the class of '25 to the class of '2-l. Seniors-this to you: keep the details of this function ever fresh within your mind for your only record of the 1924 -lunior-Senior reception will be your memory. The X Club Party On January 18, 1924, eight of our prominent clubs joined to give the largest social function of the season. The gymnasium was simply but effectively decorated as a flower garden with balloons hanging over head and strands of flowers on the walls. At one end Bob Caldwell's Novelty Orchestra played for dancing beneath a flower bower. The program was delightful, particularly in its cleverness. The Silver Trio, consisting of Knife, Fork and Spoon, gave several popular songs. CThese young men were Ray Lonnon, Mr. Myers, and Mr. Howard. gl As usual, Miss Jola Brundage's humorous reading scored a huge success. Miss Helen Rosenthal and Miss Margaret Kistler sang very delightfully I Love a Little Cottage. The credit of this successful party should be given to Raymond Lonnon, the general chairman, and his co-worker, Miss Florence Hartman. Also the clubs are appreciative of the work of their advisors, and particularly of Miss Thies. Page Ilj
