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. '

©lie 3lmtior QIabarrt Supper NE of the most unique entertainments of the year was a caba- ret supper, given on the 24th of March, by the Juniors, in honor of the Faculty and Seniors. Small tables, decorated in white and gold, the class colors, were arranged in the long dining hall; and the planning of the delicious courses which were served was a compliment to the training received from the efficient teachers of domestic science. Quaint favors for the Seniors were tiny dolls in cap and gown. Behind palms and ferns the orchestra discoursed sweet music throughout the evening. The cabaret feature was delightfully carried out by songs and fancy dances in costume. In Old Madrid was sung exquisitely by Miss Bradley Clarke, and was highly enjoyed. A charming dance was given by Miss Frances Bagley, becomingly gowned to represent a daisy, the class flower. She carried a basket filled with daisies, and scattered them gracefully in her path as she danced. Miss Angelyn Alexander sang Kipling ' s quaint verses, The Gypsy Trail, being appropriately dressed in gypsy costume. Miss Lucy Spitzer made the hit of the evening in a Spanish tambourine dance. As she danced, she threw confetti over the guests. Mirth and informal good cheer prevailed, the guests all joining in a anal dance that continued until the hour for lights out. when they reluc- tantly rang down the curtain on this jolly evening, voted by all the best time of the year.
