The class of ’09 was delightfully entertained Tuesday evening, De- cember 28, 1909, at the home of Howard Shaylor on the Lake Road. The party left Ashtabula in a sleigh.

A good time was reported by all. The second class party of the Senior class was held on December 3, 1909, at the home of Mary Brawley, who was assisted by Ruth Metcalf and Alice Whitman. A large per cent, of the class was present. The evening was spent in games and delightful refreshments were served. The guests departed on the last car. On December 17, 1909, the Senior class gave a Christmas party in Haskell’s hall which was well attended. Redmond’s orchestra furnished the music and the pleasure continued until a late hour. Many boys took advantage of the mistletoe, hanging in the middle of the hall. This party was the greatest success of the season. On Wednesday evening, December 29, 1909, the Alumni of A. H. S. held a dance in Morrison’s hall, for all the friends of the High School. At this dance twelve colleges were represented and everyone enjoyed meeting former classmates.

Sophomore Notes The destinies of the class of 1912 are carefully guarded by a good corps of officers, who are as follows: President, Lyman Boynton; Vice- President, Kenneth Brown; Secretary, Ruth Swedenborg; Treasurer, Malcolm Prine. The Sophomores have social instincts and to gratify these, on October 31, joined the Freshmen at Collins’ Hall, where a Hollow’een party was held. The Hall was prettily decorated with corn-stalks and pumpkins. A jolly good time was enjoyed. The class of T2 took the lead this year in having a sleigh-ride, which was held on the evening of January 7. A crowd of about twenty-five made up the load. They met at the High School. From here they went to Plymouth Hall, where games were played and refreshments served. Owing to the good judgment (?) of the chaperon, Mr. Webb, they were obliged to return at a reasonable hour. Everybody certainly had a fine time. The Sophomores have had very interesting literary programs this semester. Altho our class does not have any great part in the publication of The Dart, it is greatly interested and eagerly awaits its appearance. We hope that the Sophomores will make more contributions hereafter to The Dart, which is open to all. “Ye Old The mill, Mill boss, Machinery, Raw material, Mill.” A. H. S.
