The Bazaar November 17, 1922, was “Sivad’’ Bazaar Day. The affair was held under the direction of the Junior Year-Book Committee, with the able guidance of Miss Freeman of our faculty. The interest of every girl at C. S. S. was enlisted, and the number of ar- ticles contributed displayed the loyal spirit of the College. The hall represented a gala spectacle, with its gaily decorated tables. Perhaps the prettiest table was the candy table. Then there were tables of fancy work, aprons, handkerchiefs, dolls, grab bags, and a fragrant flower table, as well as an inviting food table. Reside all these things, there were fortune tellers and punch vendors. In the evening, the tables were removed and dancing began. The final event was the crowning of the C. S. S. Princess. All the students had been breathlessly awaiting the final counting of the Princess votes, and greeted the winning contestant,—Miss Katherine Stark of Brighton, and Presi- dent of Student Government,—with loud and prolonged applause. Prizes had been offered for the best posters submitted for the Bazaar. Violet Stewart, a junior, and Margaret Ford, a freshman, were the winners; while Grace Woolley received the prize for the best poster contributed by out- side talent. The Bazaar was a success in every way, financially as well as socially, from the time the project was launched until the “‘last sweet strains of music had died away.’ The money realized went towards the support of the Year-Book for 1923.
