1916 BEE AITCH ESS 1916 lower classmen were also invited. One very amusing feature of the evening was the elopement of Miss Drath with Paul Elfstrom and LaVerne Stuff with Mr. Fancher-also the cracknell race. Fricasseed Pineapple Fluff and wafers were served later in the evening. Arlie Carlson, as master of cere- monies, presented Mr. Winchell and Miss Lind with fountain pens, in appre- ciation of their untiring efforts in making our play a success. April 30, 1916-May Eve Luncheon. A May Eve Luncheon was par- taken of by the Annual Board members on Sunday evening, April 30th. Mr. Bone, Miss Drath and Miss Carlson chaperoned the affair. This was sort of a rejoicing over the finishing of their work on their annual. There were three courses-the last one coming as a surprise to nearly all present. Even the cat enjoyed the party for she received the remains of the ice cream. May 6, 1916-Senior Banquet. As usual, there was a great deal of curiosity on the part of the Senior class as to whether the Juniors would entertain them as well as they had entertained the Seniors the year before. The banquet was se1'ved in the Cafeteria in fitting style by a committee of Junior girls, who certainly know how to get up good things to eat, as every- one who was there will heartily aflirm. The menu was as follows: Fruit Cocktail Creamed Potatoes Sandwiches Beef Loaf Pickles Olives Tomato and Cucumber Salad Wafers Strawberry Short Cake After the eats came the toast program with William Downs as toast- master. Arlie Carlson gave the first toast, Our Hour, and created an in- terest in the toast, which lasted through the entire program. Mr. Bone came next with the subject, Loyalty, and following came Harold Frisbie, E921

There were readings by Mr. Rea, a musical selection by Miss Woodruff, The Three Gracesf' by Miss Sadler, Mr. Morton and Miss Abernethy, and a comic quartette, The Auctioneer, by Mr. Bone, Miss Drath, Miss Carlson and Mr. Fancher, during which Miss MacWayne actually bid a quarter on Miss Drath. After the program and a few games of which It seemed to furnish the most amusement, they adjourned to the Cafeteria for refreshments. Here there was further opportunity to exercise judgment since the menu was in conundrum form. Some of them chose very strange suppers, for in- stance, a glass of water, a toothpick, an olive and a gum-drop, etc. They were, however, served more substantially later. The Cafeteria was decor- ated with toy balloons and the place cards were tiny band-boxes containing new spring bonnets. April 15, 1916 - Freshmen-B-Sophomores. The B-Sophomores greatly enjoyed the entertainment given for them by the Freshmen, also the lunch which, though light, proved to be too much for David Moore's del- icate constitution, necessitating an ope1'ation which was performed by Mr. Winchell later in the evening, a very painful one, as shoes, a hammer, saw and several other articles had to be extracted from his person. Neverthe- less, the evening was enjoyed immensely by all. April 22, 1916-The Lake Forest Spread. On Friday evening of this date we were very fortunate in securing the Lake Forest College Glee Club for an entertainment. The audience, though not very large, was appreciat- ive. Mr. Sillars, in Scottish costume, sang several Scottish songs. We think he is a serious rival of Harry Lauder. A scene in a Frat room was shown and took very well. After the entertainment the Junior and Senior girls served light re- freshments in the Cafeteria, which without a doubt, were appreciated. But perhaps it wasn't the refreshments they enjoyed so much. Ask some of the girls what they think. l l I April 29, 1916-Senior Party. The Seniors wished to show their ap- preciation to those who helped make their play a success. The majority of these were Juniors, so a party was given for the whole class and the three l91l
