, N Aigiff l ' Mixers-Eveninz vi k Page Eighty-seve INTER-CLASS MIXER Early last fall placards on the walls of Central's halls asked the question: What will happen December Sth? The entire student body became in- terested, various guesses were made but it was not until the tickets were put in circulation that it became generally known that the Annual Inter- Class Mixer was to be held on that evening. Tickets were easily sold and all class quotas were broken. The program of that eventfulnight was opened with a mixer contest, a prize of five dollars being awarded to the best mixer. A wonderful dinner followed this, at which time favors, hats and streamers were passed out. The speeches made by Mr. Hancox, Mr. Balduf, and Mr. Webber were short and snappy. The Colburn brothers, assisted by their mother, fur- nished some delightful entertainment. One feature was a one-string broom fiddle played by George. The orchestra, directed by Mr. McClusky, played and the Glee Club sang. Mr. McCasland favored us with the Love Song from Blossom Time. All of these were greatly appreciated. The Central Lincoln Club staged a comic debate on the question, Resolved, that water is more destructive than fire. The affirmative was defended by F. O. Rounds and M. Rizzio, the negative by H. H. Boettcher and W. J. Caponigri. Rounds stated that twenty-five people in the city of New York died of water on the brain. After much wrangling, referee W. P. Paterik called the contest a tie. Never before has there been a display of good fellowship such as was displayed that evening. The student body Voted the Mixer a tremendous success and are looking forward to the next one. H. H. BOETTCHER. THE FRESHMAN RECEPTION In many schools, hazing is the usual method used to introduce the fresh- man to the student body. In our Evening Prep School, hazing is replaced by a Freshman Reception. In the fall of the school year, the Hi-Y Club takes upon itself the respon- sibility of welcoming the freshman into the School. At the opening of the last fall term, the committee was puzzled as to which method was the best for this purpose. The carnival idea was hit upon. The school auditorium was chosen as a suitable place. Several booths had been set up. Some contained ice-cream, drinks and doughnuts, while others contained games and other sorts of amusement. The constable and the mystic, with his crystal and mysterious lady, were also there. It re sembled a county fair. At a set hour the doors were thrown open and the fair was on. The fel lows mingled freely, enjoyed themselves immensely, and above all, friend ship sprang up between them, friendships that will last through their future years, perhaps their lifetime. J. M.

5 A511 'J' , Debates-Athletics Day ff iw. an I ul INTER-CLASS DEBATES Early in March, there was a call for candidates for the class debating teams. Elimination contests were held and the best of the aspirants chosen to represent their classes. The Senior team consisted of Baum, Moore, Porter and Hansen. The Junior team was composed of Bergstrom, Olson, Wall and Stiles. The Freshmen put one over by picking a first team com- posed of Diller, Givot, Varounis and Kuhns and a second team consisting of Otto, Denes, Wasick and Tolar. On March 26, the Seniors taking the negative side of the question, Re- solved, that the city of Chicago should own and operate the traction lines, defeated the Freshman second team in a close contest. Meanwhile in another part of the school, the Freshman first team, in spite of the heroic efforts of the Junior team, also succeeded in convincing the judge that municipal ownership of the traction lines was undesirable. As the Annual goes to press, the Seniors are working with the deter- mination to prove on May 7th, that the commission form of government is desirable in cities of over ten thousand and not as large as Chicago, while the Freshman first team are equally resolved to prove to the judge that the Seniors are all Wrong.
