1916 BEE AITCH ESS 1916 :Smrietg Variety is the Spice of Life. HO likes to work, work, work all the time? No one, and least of all, lively High School pupils. Therefore we seek for var- iety in everything we do-lessons, athletics, dramatics and other forms of entertainment. The social functions in the past year have not been as numerous as they might have been, due to the closing of the schools in the fall of 1915 and other hindrances. But still, haven't we had variety? First there was the diphtheria epidemic, then came scarlet fever and the pink-eye and last, but not least, came the spring fever. Nevertheless, OU1' social calendar is not so short. April 30, 1915-Junior-Senior Banquet It has been the custom in the past years for the Juniors to give the de- parting class a farewell banquet. Not only because it was the custom, but our friendship and good wishes for the class of 1915 prompted us to give them this banquet which was held in the Cafeteria. The room and tables were prettily decorated in purple and white, the colors of the Senior class. The following menu was served: Fruit Cocktail Chicken Mashed Potatoes Olives Radishes Rolls Ice Cream Cake Coffee Mints Then came the toasts, with James Dunlop as toastmaster. Many enter- taining speeches were enjoyed after which we gathered in the auditorium where Miss Merrifield sang a few selections which were greatly appreciated. If the assembly piano were a horse there would be work for the hu- mane society. f88l ' ?T
