CLASS DAYS The four classes in the High School showed their spirit in the celebration of their various class days. The Juniors came first, when their president pro- claimed the 6th of November to be designated as “Junior Day.” This was followed by the other three classes, each being appropriately costumed from the Seniors who returned to childhood to the Freshmen who “grew up.” SENIOR PLAY Under the direction of Miss Harmon the Senior Class presented a play “Molly’s Aunt,” which was a brilliant success, having an all star cast. It was repeated at Matoaca in February with continued success, despite the loss of a wig. SENIORS ENTERTAINED Ghosts, goblins and witches held sway at the home of Mrs. W. L. Ketcham on the night of October 26th, when she entertained the faculty and the mem- bers of the Senior Class at a Hallowe’en party. The guests were conducted through a chamber of horrors, where many interesting facts concerning their future were revealed to them, after which games were engaged in on the lawn, which was lighted by genuine jack-o-lanterns and the silver moon. From the witches kettles a stew was served which excelled any that witches brewed, while the pumpkin pie might well have graced a Thanksgiving table, and the crusty doughnut and rosy apples completed a most enjoyable repast. After a grand parade of those costumed the judges awarded a prize for the most original Hallowe’en costume to Miss Margaret Conner, and a second prize to Miss Mary Swineford. Reluctant farewells were mingled with the wails of the ghosts and the happy guests turned their faces homeward. JUNIOR-SENIOR RECEPTION The cottage was decorated with hearts, darts and cupids on February 14th, when the Juniors entertained the Seniors. The spirit of St. Valentine reigned supreme throughout the evening, as games and stunts in keeping with the day were played. Attractive refreshments featured hearts.
