Giiestal; vi On Thursday night, Decenil)t ' r 18, Mrs. Vdiinji, the poDiilar matron, gave a iiarty in lionor of Bury Hall ' s one gnuhiate, iMyrtle I ' oe. In tiie spirit of the season the reception hall and music room were decorated with everg-reens and a vei v attractive Christmas tree. After an impromptu program and lively games, the girls had a draw-box which Mrs. oung had fixed with a re- membrance for every one. The evening closed with merry holi- day wishes and sad i)artings. On Tuesday night, .March 13, the Oirls of the Pines liad a chili feed with all the trimmings. Kitty Ilaught iM-ought in the rear limb of a call ' for the affair. The chili was fine and the am i)oxes of crackers furnished plenty for every one. After the dishes were washed and every one was i)rei)aring for a restless night, weird knocking noises were heard in the dumb waiter chute, investigation with flashlights proved that there was no one there. Ghosts! Screams and sobs rent the air. In a screeching mob, the timid ones tore down the stairs for reinforce- ments. Roll call revealed the fact that Fay Patterson and Armitta CJibbons were missing. They were sure tc be in the attic. It was investigated from one end to the other, and not a soul was in sight. Kvery room was searched, all the closats were ransacked, but no girls could be found. Oh, those blood-curdling groans and yells I The sound came from above. Was it possil)le that they were on ihe roof? No, they could not get out there. Well, they were bound to be out there some place. .Another trip to the attic was made, and titters were heard from above. There they were; perched on the gables, just behind the dormer windows. They were dirty culprits, in every sense of the word. Their hands and faces were black with soot and dirty; their clothes were fairly ruined. A ixuiioiling process was necessary before they were able to go to bed. So ended the 2hili party. While all the Halls wei ' e becoming acquainted with the new- students, Cami:)bell was doing her share by having a Homey party. The talented ones aided in the entertaining, and Lady B satisfied our apjietites by serving refreshments. An extremely clever tea was given by the Misses Milliken. Hillebrandt, Olson and Sterling to the other girls of Campbell Hall last fall. Tea was daintily served l)etween two-thirty and five-thirtv. One of the mcst successful stunts ever put on by Flagstaff Teachers college was the second annual homecoming November 14, the stunts and ijrograms excelling in every way the expecta- tions of those in chai ' ge. From the hobo parade, clear through to the last note of the ball room music, the affair went off with smoothness and pleasure. The hobo parade, which started from the college at 1 :00 p. m. and marched through the business center of the city, was one of the most amusing ever seen in the city, each class, the alumni, and the faculty baing represented by some stunt ; all being led 1)V the college band under the direction of Mr. Niles.

The Christmas seniors are honoi ' ed by having a table of their own for a week, thanks to Mother Hanley. Sunday at noon, Mrs. Cotton, Mr. and Mrs. Lynch and Mi-. Lee Johnson were their guests. As the graduating class consists of 11 girls, the center )ouquet was of bachc ' or buttons and the i)lace cards were col- lege sheiks who cai ' ried a fortune for each graduate. The next thrilling event was a table that would look good to any old maid school teacher twenty years from the time she started teaching. This tab ' e had brown paper for a table cover with tin plates and regular camijing tools to eat with ; also a beau- tiful bouquet, a feather drster upside down in a bucket, and i paper flower here and there.
