Senior Society Schools must have some social activity or much of the real school life is vone. Altho the social activities have had a check put upon them, a good time and a good spirit has been retained during the term. Following the custom of last year, a reception was given at the Y. M. C. A. to the four classes. Games were played, and many of the boys were disappoint- ed to find that they had been kissed by a boy. Refreshments were served and then the students went home feeling better acquainted with each other. In October the girls received their return Hallowe’en party from the boys. All were asked to come masked and those who didn’t had to pay a fine. Prizes were given Manila Damen and Roger Grogg, for being the best masked. Each one was asked to visit the land of ghosts. To go thru this ghostly place, each had to follow a string. Many shrieks were heard from the girls when some- thing unusual was seen or heard. Later refreshments were served. In December the first class party was held at Anna Brandon’s. The ‘‘ grab bag’’ furnished much amusement and, of course, Miss Baxter was the lucky one te receive the ‘‘ Honest Serap.’’ The person who put it in remarked that Miss Baxter would be sure to get it—and he was right. In January there was a bob-sled party out to Nellie Carper’s. Games were played and later refreshments were served. The regular custom of having a banquet will be eliminated this year, but the other graduati ng exercises will be followed.

Senior History Teams—Class of ’18 vs. Ignorance L. At the first whistle we were on the field, ready for the great scrimmage. We chose, to lead us, Mr. McKenney. He was assisted by Hugh Bundy as president, Harold Hursh as vice-president, LaVaun Cochran as secretary, and Mary Jenners as treasurer. During the quarter we had a party at the Noirot home and a picnic in Madden’s wood. thy At the beginning of the second quarter we found we had been crippled by the loss of several of our team mates. We again chose our leaders as follows: Mr. Sutherlin, class leader; Thain Farley, president; Anna Brandon, vice-president ; LaVaun Cochran, secretary ; Robert Bussard, treasurer. During the quarter a young man stole our secre- tary, and we elected Ruth Green to fill out her unexpired term. During this period we had a elass party at Wilbert Campbell’s, and a general good time at Foote’s. IIL. Again we met with the loss of several helpers and started our third attempt. Here we elected to follow Miss Wiley as principal, Thain Farley as president, Bernard Brownas vice-president, Ruth Green as secretary, and Robert Bussard as treasurer. During this period we dropped many players but still kept on. We were entertained at the Harding and Olinger homes and by the Seniors at Hamilton. In return we gave the Seniors a banquet. UNE The third and last quarter is now to be discussed. We start with Miss Baxter, class principal; Hugh Bundy, president; Jay Stafford, vice-president ; Effie Noirot, secretary, and Robert Bussard, treasurer. This is the hardest quarter, nevertheless we will win. We were entertained at the Brandon home, and on a sleigh ride party and a good time afterward at the Nellie Carper home. We have at last tugged over the line and are preparing to kick the ball for the last count in the great game which we have won. fg TY
