On February 5, the senior class gave a dance in Lyric Hall, to the junior class of the W. M. I. The hall was prettily decorated with the school colors, orange and black. A large aggregation from both schools were present and a pleasant evening was enjoyed by all. The mandolin club is certainly progressing. The quintette ought to be an attraction at the school play this year. Manager Silden expects to have the pictures taken in the near future. 15
