tH ifumor- Senior SSanqitrt On May 7, the Junior Class with Miss Condell as sponsor entertained the Class of ’31 and faculty members at a delightful “Night in Venice.” At 6:30 o’clock the guests assembled in the reception room which had been converted into a model living room. Donald Armes, the Junior president, led the party into a charming Venetian flower garden. White lattice covered the walls on which red climbing roses and blue wistaria grew in profusion. Moonlight lighting effect was used, and a large crescent moon was just peaking over the garden wall. The guests were seated at foursome tables. The centerpieces were red roses in crystal bud vases. The speakers’ table was cleverly centered by a gondola floating on a crystal lake. The gondola was finished in red and blue, the Senior colors, and festooned with red roses and tulle. Place cards were butterflies asleep on the backs of the chairs. Favors were miniature mandolins which also served as nut cups. The programs were blue crescent moons. The Sophomore girls in Italian peasant costumes served the delicious menu which the mothers of the Junior class members prepared.

At the beginning of the second semester the girls’ and boys’ clubs were divided.
