THE BACONE CHIEF 49 As the old saying goes, The last is always the best , held good at the banquet when Mrs Randall talked on In- terests of Education . . For half an hour or so there was much competition be- tween the two classes in class yells and songs. Thus ended the golden seventh degree in the social life of Bacone, and still there's more to follow for all eyes are turned toward the annual May-day picnic, but it will take a whole volume to give an account of it so we will leave its history to be recorded by future Baconians.

48 TI-IE BACONE CHIEF birthdays. Dressed backwards? Well, I should say, the grandest of ties, brooches and the daintiest of lavallieres adorned the backs. Skirts were fastened in front, middy blouse collars in front, and shoes on the wrong feet. My! They certainly were a complex looking set. The honorees were requested to perform stunts backwards. After some exciting games we drank a hot chocolate to set us going right with the world, and went oif to islumberland. YE SYXTH DEGREE.

BANQUET. The very word banquet carries you to ye olden time when you sat down and enjoyed- a big feed . Celestial cookeries and toasts. It was with sadness that the Juniors carried the Seniors to such heights, knowing that they would never return again. Blue and gold colors made unique decorations upon the snowy white linens. The table was laid for twenty. Four Sumptuous courses were served. President Randall pre- sided as Master of Toasts . His talk on Sunshine was beautiful, and he fittingly applied it to the students. The welcome address by John Murphy, so carefully pre- pared, almost brought tears to the Seniors' eyes. Gus Chou- teau gave the Response expressing the appreciation of the class for the hospitality of the evening and the splendid comradeaship given to them by the Juniors during their last year. Ruth Gilbert gave a very creditable talk on What I think of a Bacone Boy . James Jones talked on What I think of a Bacone Girl . The class prophecy was read by the prophetess, Ida Tiger.
