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

Another sketch was the presentation of the interior of the present day study-room as seen from the point of view of art students, especially those studying psy- chology. This was enacted by Mary Ninde and Martha Cress. The crowning feature of the evening was the mo- ments we spent back in the colonial days with Betty Barth and Bob Richards, attired in colonial cos- tumes, weaving a spell around our hearts as they trip- ped the fantastic steps of the old-fashioned waltz to the strains of soft, dreamy music. But, alas! the spell was broken and we came back to the present day with the same dancers attired in collegiate styles and dancing the Charlestong but even then they danced their way into our hearts and we'll' never forget them. As a last stunt, the Freshmen and Faculty were in- vited to the movies by the Seniors and were entertained immensely by seeing themselves as others see them in the form of comic valentines thrown upon screen. At the close of the programme refreshments were served in buffet style. The Seniors are always ready to answer to the call of eats , we learned to do so as Freshmen, so when the Y I
