SOCIAL NOTES The first social event of the year was a wiener roast given by the high school as a farewell party for the Eldredge girls, who were soon to leave for their new home in Butler. Everyone had a good time, even if John did lose his two watermelons, and Anna and Vivien were given the privilege of hunting snipes. We are quite sure that next time they will take some pillows along. “The Kid Party’’ Early in December the Juniors gave a Kid Party” at the home of Oscar Collins. All the Juniors and members of the Faculty were dressed as little children, each carrying a doll, teddy bear or some toy. The entertainment and refreshments were in keeping with the make-believe age. Basket Ball Supper As a fitting close for a successful basket ball season, Mr. Niederineyer entertained all of the high school boys with a six o’clock dinner, at the home of Mr. J. W. Solomon. The table was decorated with orange and black ribbons to represent a basket ball field, the goal-posts being candle sticks. After the dinner, which was served by Miss Cook and Miss Stansbury, stories were told, and games played. Robert Niedermeyer, brother of Prof. Niedermeyer was the only out of town guest. The Washington Tea Shortly after Christmas, an athletic committee was elected by the high school students, for the purpose of raising money to buy track supplies. Several social events were given, the first being a Washington Tea. This was given at the high school after Mothers’ Club meeting, and proved very successful from a social as well as financial view point. The next attempt was a Box Supper. Altho there were only about fifteen boxes. they sold well, so that thirty-five dollars was cleared. The last party given by the committee was a Masquerade. The costumes were so well chosen, that it was hard to tell even those we knew best. Everyone seemed to have a thoroughly good time. Owing to the hearty co-operation of the Mothers’ Club and the patrons of the school, the committee was able to raise over seventy dollars. That this is appreciated has been shown by the success the boys have had in Track Athletics. Junior-Senior Reception The Junior-Senior party, which is the real social event of the year in high school life, was held March twenty-seventh at the home of Oscar Collins, the Junior class president. The rooms were prettily decorated in the high school and senior class colors. The senior motto, ‘ Don’t Dodge Difficulties,” made an attractive arch over one door. During the evening all the events of Commencement week were held. The first was the Baccalaureate service, the sermon being delivered by Prof. Niedermeyer. The class play was given next, and then—the Commencement program. Every one had to take part at only a moment’s notice. The diplomas were presented at the close of the program by Professor Joe Moore. The Juniors led the way to the basement which was tastefully decorated in red and white. There a delightful three course luncheon was served. The favors wrere cream roses, the Senior flower. As the day happened to be Kenneth Wilson’s birthday he was presented with a cake upon which were candles, and within which were various articles. The persons receiving the latter had their future thus portrayed by them.
