A Halloween party at the home of Miss Ruth XVebster Oct. 31, 1914, was in the form of a mas- querade.

One of the most attractive events 'of our Soph- omore year was the class dinner March 1,1915, in the Domestic Science room of the High School building. The room was decorated with the class colors-green and whitewand two long ta- bles were decorated with several crystal candle- sticks with green shades, which served for our light during the dinner. The tables were set for about thirty-six people, and the places were indi- cated by hand-painted cards. At seven otclock a three-course dinner was served, and every one had his or her share of the good things. After our delicious dinner we all had the pleasure of hearing some toasts given by some members of the class and of the Faculty. After dinner, the boys, especially Donald Kerr, assisted the girls in washing the dishes, after which the crowd re- paired to the Agricultural Laboratory and spent the remainder of the evening in playing old fash- ioned games.

Freshmen Society Sept. 25, ,14, after we Freshmen had carried the burdens of our class upon us for about a month, our boys decided to give us a skating,r party at the academy. This was the first social meeting of 'the class, and we girls went home thinking we had the best bunch of boys in High School. On the evening of Oct. 6, 114, the Freshmen were at home to their former highlyiesteemed and beloved teacher, Miss Krause, at the home of Nita Jensen. Many games were indulged'in under the moonlit sky. A very delightful lunch was served, and a few of those starving Junior boysi, were fed and sent on their way.

After we had skated for about two hours we wended our weary but merry way to the home of Clara Smith, where an oyster supper . awaited us.
