Y'- llTIllT'ffJT lF 'l- I JHIIJ ,f During the month of February, Bartley Ogden, of the junior class and his sis- ter, O'ma., of the Sophomore class entertained their friends with a panty given at their country home. The happy group found their way to the Ogden home in packed Lizzies and after :1 rattling good ride, the party arrived already for action. Entertainment con- sisted of various games, dancing, and music. The orchestra was composed of talent found among those present. Asthetic and square dancing were among the prominent features of the evening. At eleven thirty a dainty two course luncheon was served, after which a short time was spent in playing more games and the orchestra burst forth with more lively tunes. Shortly after this they all expressed themselves as having spent a most enjoyable evening and stepping into the waiting cars they slept the weary miles away. BACK TO THE DAYS OF OLD Roller skating seems to be popular again especially with some of the Akron Tom Boysi This fact was proven at a stag party given by Marie Rootg when -the lar- ger portion of the prospective young women of Akron assembled at her home dressed in Knickers and were soon off for a real skate. Main Street furnished the greatest attraction as they formed an unbreakable line across the pavement, causing com- motion enough to waken the Gods. Later on they returned to the Root home where dancing and singing furnished entertainment for the remainder of the evening. It is rumored that a few of the basket hall players found their way to the scene of merriment and stole several, good luck, kisses which we feel sure turned the tables on them the following day at the Sioux City Tournament. A real feed was enjoyed, and Spike Brown made the evening complete by furnishing free taxi service. Another slumber party that means they generally turn out a crowing success, our reason for having so many. This one certainly did, though the Hostess, Margaret Burk, was somewhat disappointed at the failure of some of the basket ball girls to appear, owing to their Hinton tournament trip. Diving for apples and other like pranks were played as well as music, dancing, and telling of ghost stories' mid the twilight shadows. Before the bedroom was converted into a hair dressing parlor that would put the metropolitains out of business. A most delightful dinner was served at some time between sunset and sunrise and it is believed that the sandman forgot to visit the Patterson home that night. Jun- ior-Senior Banquet, Baccalaurea, class play, and commencement are the beacon lights to which the Senior Class are now centering their gaze, each bringing it's singular appeal. ---.-....-.----------- l Eli i

int lT'AIfS'll---- Mir JD! 1 CARNIVAL On a bright. evening, November 9, 1922, a carnival was given by the junior class of the Akron High School, funds for which were to go toward the annual junior- senior banquet. Many different side shows were erected some of which were, Swimming match between two girls , A Trip Around the Moon, The Only Ground Hog in Captivityf' The Missing Link,f' Fortune Tellingj, The Smallest Skelton in the World. Large quantities of pop corn balls, hot dogs, and hamburger sandwiches were sold. Mr. Reaney acted as, 'fChief Cook, with the support of members from the junior class. Meanwhile the cops were busy fining, pinching, and arresting everyone at the least move of Misconduct. The faculty, with few exceptions, were very entertaining. Miss McKellar, acting as the gray headed, old-fashioned, mother was seen taking her mischievious children out for a whirl in the world. Miss Hays, fthe H. S. English teacher J naturally acted as the squalling kid, and was pulled around in a little red wagon. The other members were dressed as older children but. nevertheless were as anxious as Dorothy herself to see all the sights. 'Could you feature Miss Edith Gillet with her hair in curls, her skirts at least to her knees, and an all day sucker in her mouth, yet it is all as it really Was. The whole evening was very well spent and light refreshments were served in the tea room by the Chinese maidens from the junior class. THE FLAPPER Blessings on thee little dame, Bare backed girl with knees the same, With thy turned up silken hose And thy thin, transparent clothes, With thy red lips, reddened more. Smeared with lip stick from the store, With that make up on thy face, And thy bobbed hair jaunty graceg From my heart I give thee joy, Glad that I was born a boy. WATER Water is a wonderous blessing, Good for washing face and ears, Just the thing for making rivers And surrounding ships and piers, Nice for parking under bridges, Swell for making rain and ink- Water is a wondorous blessing, But it makes one darn poor drink.
