After several cleverly arranged games, stunts and a- warding of prizes. The special glee club, which is com- posed of members of the Why? Club favoed us with several selections and then their leader led the entire body and faculty in a number of old familiar songs. Mr. Bolander cleverly enacted the selling of various personal articles belonging to some of the students. The selling of John's smock, his first one, caused much excitement and John grew exceedingly weak as the gum and mint papers were pulled from the pocket. But he finally recovered when nothing more serious showed up. c Mrs. Bolander did not allow the time to lag for she invited us to come into the dining room and be served chop-suey and tea, with all other accessories, and as a final touch, ice cream. We all ate with chop sticks and much credit for our success is to be given to Mr. Hull, who, having had long years of experience in China, taught us to hold the sticks properly. If it had not been for the bibs which our hostess and host provided, some of us would have gone home looking slightly messy, for chopfsuey is so hard to eat. As there had been a lapse of about a month since a party, the Freshmen and Seniors decided to have a Christ' mas party, so on December 16, they invited the faculty and all wives or husbands of students to a party. Needless to say, Santa Claus was there in full re- galia, and handed out our presents from the Christmas tree which the Seniors had decorated. i
