wit Tf w fcltr - (SUjr Humor Party It was in ' .he hleak November, Vet the night was warm and moonlit, When the Juniors gave their partv, Gave their Wonderland Adventures. All the Juniors came in costume Dressed as kings and queens resplendent, Dressed as cards and hopping wild things. All the running, creeping creatures, Cats and rabbits, mice and owlets. And the Sophomores came in costume, Dressed as Mother Goose ' s children; Likewise came the stately Seniors. Alice met them at the doorway, Doorway of the Students Building, Led them in and gave them welcome, Gracious welcome to the party. Then the rabbit, the Ojunior, Blindfolded their eyes and led them, Through the hole, her own dark dwelling, Let them wait and let them listen While the carpenter sang his medley. Then another Junior took them, Bade these guests so very welcome Come partake of some refreshments Help themslves to tea and sand ich. Then the guests were led upstairs, (After they had finished eating) To the regions of the throne room, Up one stairs and down another Til! at last they reached the throne room. On the way they met two children, Rosy-cheeked and happy children And these children gave them kisses Good to look at, good to eat up. When the guests had reached the throne room. There they saw the royal colors Saw the Normal gold and purple Richly draped around the throne room Fold on fold in all its splendor. When the guests had all assembled, Then was blown a silver whistle. And the crowd grew very silent. Thus they listened to the program; Saw the roguuish knave on trial, Heard each witness testifying. Heard the iurors give the verdict, Saw the roguish knave on trial, Now the invited guests turned homeward, Turned their faces to the door way, Went into the midnight blackness, Went into their dormitories. And the Juniors, left behind then, Turned and looked at one another, And with one accord said softly, We are glad that it is over. Glad the people came and lingered Glad they came and made us happy, Made our partv so successful. '
