They have made a big hit with the school. Their part in the school functions and society meetings is looked forward to with enthusiasm. This is the first year that Alexis has had a boys ' quartet and we are all pleased with their efforts to please us. Chorus The chorus under direction of Miss Lillian Treadwell, is perhaps the most active group among the musical organizations, this year, rehearsal being held once a week. The group has sung at different times before the schoal in assembly and Literary pro- grams. The real success, however, is hoped for at the end of the year.

•4 CAFATERA DINNER On Tuesday, October the 12th, the Donestic Science girls under the supervision of Miss Emery servel a cafatera dnnner to the public. About noon there seemed to be a magnetic force drawing the passerby into the school house and directly into the domestic science labratory where the girls were serving a ' ' swell feed. As usual the girls were given the hearty support of the public and they cleared $67.10 which they turned over to the school to be used for football benefit. On the night of December 3rd, the pub ' ic was generously entertain- ed by the !• re--hman Class when they gave a Box Social and Operetta in honor cf i he foocball boys. Much competition was aroused between the bidders cn the boxes and caused lots of fun. After this siHcess the Freshmen were considered royal i ntortainers and loya ' . f tudnts as they donated their proceeds which amounted to to the Stuflent Union. Thr Sophmores, under the direction of Miss Emery and Miss Matson served an Oyster Supper in the Masonic Hall, November 18th, 1920. The class cleared $29.50 which they gave to the school for football bnefits. Early in the fall the Sophmores entertained the Freshmen at a weinie roast. Each Sophmore brought his or her best friend and all enjoyed themselves. Mr. McKelvey surprised them with his ability to smg so many funny songs and Miss Parrish led a snake dance which proved highly entertaining. About five car loads of the said party got lost and caused much excitement until their return to camp. The verdict of the evening was — A Swell Time.
