SENIUIQ MOTHElQ'S TEA One of the most colorful and beautiful features of senior act- ivities was the Senior lNIothe.r's Tea, which was held in the school library on ltlarch 15th. The spring atmosphere prevailed through- out, and the scene was completed by the smiling faces and bright costumes of the senior girls. Daffodils and other flowers lent their fragrance, and the table glistened from the shiny silver tea ser- vice and candalabra. The table was the prize of the decorations and from the shiny silver tea service and candalabra. The table was added to the artistic touch of the affair. ltlothers of the high senior officers presided at the tea table, and the tea was served by the girls of the senior class. Dainty cup cakes accompanied the tea and furnished the refreshments of the afternoon. The girls who served were divided into two groups, one serving from four to five ofclock, and the other from five to five-thirty. The tea was well managed, and the guests were easily and gracefully introduced to other mothers. The guests were entertained by members of the senior class with musical numbers, which were given at short intervals. Among the selections were several by the Senior Boys, Octette, vocal solos by Helen lNIcCormrick, a piano solo by Leola Dixon, and a cello solo by Theron Hall.
