•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.

JUNIOR— SENIOR BANQUET Thursday evening, April 28th, the Seniors and Faculty were guests of the Juniors at the annual Junior-Senior Banquet. The Seniors vow that never before was a more royal banquet given to any class. Arriving at the school house the guests were shown to the checkroom where they were assisted in removing their wraps by two handsome maids (Frances Mackin and Evelyn Foster). From here they were ushered into the cozy parlor where Vietrola music was enjoyed until dinner was announced. Then they were taken to the Hotel de HeMu- Armonville (the assembly room) where their hearts were immediately lost to the Juniors for their clever and artistic manner of arranging their dining room. The tables, seating four people, were beautifully decorated and lighted by candles. The room seemed an earthly paradise with its big floor lamps, palms and orchestra music during the serving of dinner. The menu was as follows :- Fruit Cocktail Potatoes La baronne gravy Roast foula La Dressing Buttered Peas Tea Biscuits Combination Salad Wafers Cream of Kisses Ma poupee Mints Clarnet After the dinner appropriate toasts were given, Miss Mary Downer acting as toast mistress. Upon departure the guests voted that the Juniors were the most elaborate entertainers of any Junior class that ever chanced to pass through the schools of Alexis.
