CHILE SUPPER The Freshmen and Sophomores of the Home Economics Club entertained the Juniors and Seniors with a chile supper at the High School building, February 4. The Valentine motif was carried out in decorations, refresh- ments and entertainment. Mr. Patton and Mrs. Barbee were guests of the Club for the covering. JUNIOR - SENIOR EXCURSION -..-.l--1-.11 Monday night, May 26, the Senior Class and faculty, were guests of the Junior Class for an excursion on the Steamer, IDLE- WILD, which left Bridgeport landing near Gallatin, Tennessee, at 8:30 p. ni., and returned about 12:00. It was difficult to decide whether the hosts or guests enjoyed this trip most. An orchestra on B deck added to the evenings pleasure, and helped to create a suitable atmosphere for looking at the moon. The less romantic spent the evening in climbing from one deck to another, watching the work of the crew, with occas- ional treks after hamburgers or Coco-Colas. Not even the thought of exams., next day dampened anyone's ardor. In fact, nearly every one felt that the evening's diversion sharpened wits and would send each into class the next morning with unusual enthusiasm. Information is not 'available as to whether such turned out to be the case: but even if there were sleepy heads next day, pleasant thoughts of the cause were recom- pense enough. SENIOR RECEPTION Following the Class Night Program Tuesday evening, May the 27, Mesdanies Nellie Jones, Ardath Miller, Leslie Taylor and N. G. Goad, entertained the Senior Class and the High School Faculty with a reception at the Masonic Hall. The class colors of Red 'and White were beautifully carried out in the decorations.
