Brad ord e.b-421210 ts JANUARY 28. JANUARY 29. FEBRUARY FEBRUARY FEBRUARY FEBRUARY FEBRUARY FEBRUARY FEBRUARY 2. 11. 13 15 17 -1 20 27 The prettiest tea of the year, given this afternoon by the specials to the Faculty and officers of the Senior Class. The decorations and everything connected with the affair a pronounced success. Interesting illustrated lecture on Constantinople by an Armenian, Mr. H. K. Samuleian. Reading of Lancelot and Elaine, by Mrs. Priest, assisted by the Carl Behr Trio. Illustrated lecture on The Land of Scott and Burns, by Miss Pond. A thoroughly enjoyable event, marred only by the giving out of the gas which supplied the stereopticon. First dance held in the new gym. Given in honor of St. Valentine. Half of the girls went as gentlemen, and played the role admirably. Everybody had such a good time. The formal opening of the new gymnasium. A recep- tion given by the Faculty and Trustees. VVe and our guests were allowed to dance. Une of the big affairs of the year. The second of the series of Professor Downs' concerts: Mrs. Hunt and Nlrs. Brackett, vocalists. Dr. Von lVIach's lecture on Wliistler, and How to Judge Good Art. Open to the whole school and a few outsiders. The Senior play, followed by an informal reception by the Seniors to their friends in the parlors. Une of the best things of the school year, and one long looked for- ward to, also. Critics say it was the best ever given at Bradford, but we wish to be modest, and so will refrain from expressing our opinion. f102j
