The Junior Class Cap Affair © ,p- |i :N10R and Senior Classes, having profiled by the experience of former years, have concluded that peace . J orc en j 0 yable than war, and for this reason evidences of class spirit have been somewhat wanting. What little excitement we have had has been created with the right spirit, and we are glad to say, has been taken in ' ' C The most exciting incident that has occurred is the Junior Class Cap Affair.” One night shortly after our ation when the Seniors were all at the Library, they began to wonder if the Juniors were not getting tired of wait- Christmas .u a ' anrval of their caps, and, thinking it a good chance to do a good, kind, neighborly act, for which they were ,ng so long j“ . j ,[ lcy at once set about to construct the headgear, and. in a short time, forty-two beautiful caps were com- ever in r ' jj nce S cn j 0 rs desired it to be a complete surprise, the most difficult thing was to decide where to conceal P| ti j (he’time of delivery. Many places, such as behind the books, on top of the ' i T children ' s cloak-rooms, ninth grade room, etc., were suggested, but no satisfac- hel ' lace of concealment could be found until our ever faithful Mrs. Niblett appeared P time (as usual) to offer her room and key. which proved to be the most convenient tal place os. next morn j ng m assern bly. Prof. Wilson read among other announcements the following c | ass ca ps have arrived, and the same may be obtained by calling upon their class teachers at once. The last words had hardly been spoken when two Seniors entered the stage and placed in front of Miss Thomas and Miss Wilcox a pile of caps on which were bril- l-antly painted ' 07.” The caps were about two feet in height and shaped somewhat hke a cone (it is barely possible that some of you have seen such worn by small children standing in the corner of a school-room, with their faces to the wall). When the 07 class president had time to collect his senses, he marched up and delivered the caps, which he and his appreciative classmates wore all day. We can ' t exactly account for it, but the shape seemed to just suit each member’s particular style of beauty, and in fact, to add to that distinguished class the needed fin¬ ishing touch. But the strangest thing about it all is, that as the Juniors did not take any extra pains to let the Seniors know that they had sent for the caps, it should nevertheless be found out, and it is still the great mystery in their minds. HOW DO THE SENIORS FIND OUT SO MANY THINGS? DDE 25

Senior Box Party a .1,, manv good times we Seniors have had this year, the box party given us by Dr. Harris and Miss Grupe Among the ( m I ' thirty-first has a pre-eminent place The play “Virgimus was presented by Louis James and on the evening o onc J ' | ie tragedy plunged us into serious thot; but the gay time afterwards, at the home of Mn Gray Hied us out of the depths and put the final touch to a perfect evening. if n twenty-fifth, when one of our number had finished her course and was ready to go out and help teach . ° n of our nation, we. who were not ready to bear upon our shoulders our life calling, invited in our class the rising cmze ca|jon over Luci | e - S SUCC ess. The dormitory dining hall was transfigured into a cosy reception room; teachers , arrival of the guests, delicious odors were pouring forth from the kitchen and the chafing dishes, such and on , e the domestic charms of some of our number. Conversation and chocolate, fortune-telling and candy, were enjoyed until a late hour; for we were all glad with Lucile that she was still to be a dormitory girl, even tho she wls ' going to begin her active work as a teacher. Senior Reception One of the most pleasant functions of the year happened on the evening of February seventeenth, when the Seniors v» their reception for the faculty and students, at the dormitory. The color scheme of the decorations for the evening j an d white, the class colors. This was also carried out in the dining room, where refreshments of ice cream, waters and candies were served. Onc could almost imagine himself in the land of the Lotus-eaters as he entered and climbed the stairs amid the profusion of ivy and flowers, while the strains of music from the violin and guitar were wafted out tc him Standing near the door of the reception room was Miss Bishop (our Senior president), who. assisted by Dr. Har¬ ris Mrs. Niblett. Miss Grupe. Dr. Munson and Mr. Morgan (the class teachers), received the guests. All were made to forget themselves in the merry laughter and talk, and the guests went away feeling that they had spent an enjoyable eve¬ ning, and that the Senior Reception was a brilliant success. if It was the pleasure of the Senior class and Senior teachers to be informally entertained by Professor and Mrs. Morgan Friday evening. April twentieth. As each one entered she was presented with red and white carnations, thus carrying out the class colors. Our host and hostess dispensed with all formality and entertained us at card games and guessing contests. The fact that Dr. Harris received the prize in this latter contest surprised us all, because we did not know that she had carried on a more scientific study of cats than Dr. Munson. . . The color scheme was also carried out in the refreshments—and speaking of refreshments, it is whispered about in the Senior class that one of the faculty called for two plates of cakes and three cups of coffee, and another frail maiden alarmed her companions by the number of sandwiches and olives she consumed. At midnight the neighbors were aroused by the cheering aid yells of the class, which signified that the party had bidden Mr. and Mrs. Morgan good night. 27
