JUNIOR-SENIOR KID PARTY Down by de winegar woiks Wid de wery woist kids in de town I played and sang YVid tha ole gang of mine And acted like a clown.', The Seniors showed good taste in their kid party for the Juniors. Taffy apples were served for the first three courses and thelast six. Some of the girls from jvorda n and I-Iazlitt Ballet showed us how the foot work at Cenespe is arranged. They danced everything from the Spanish fandango to the Lame Duck VValk-all in costume too. Oh, it was great to be a kid again but when the laughter and shout? ing had died out and the beribboned and begrimed guests had et all the etables and left, we found that old kid game hard to beat and wished for just one more hour of, I'll beat you to the corner and backf, HALLOWE'EN PIKE Some of our Juniors missed their calling-they should have been side show barkers. The W'hite City looked dark beside our I-Iallowelen Pike. Our girls wouldn't have stood one chance in a thousand of being teachers if Balaban and Katz had seen our side shows and the pageants were finished products Cespecially the corn husks from Kendall's gardenj. Bootblack Joe, the little freckle faced kid from New York, surely could shine shoes. CW'e have inside information that some of the girls had their shoes shined three times that night just to see Wapo put the polish onj. And who should be there but 17th century Sal, bustling around the circus grounds. Someone went up and asked her for the next minuet and then we dis- covered her real identity. She was none other than Nliss NIusselman. Aside from a few faux pas on the part of the brownies when they awakened the little girl in the corn Held the show went off without a hitch. The mummies in the graveyard were a little too spooky to suit us but we made it a point to see that nothing white trailed us home that night. FALL DANCE I was ruined physically by the week's hockey practice but it would have taken all the king's horses to keep me away from C. N. S. P. E.'s Stables that night, last fall. To say that we had a good time is putting it mildly. 'Why, weren't we all to make our debut into the ballroom that eve? I'll never forget those circle two-steps and the lemon dances. They might better have been hot potatoes for the rapidity with which they were passed from single to couples The evening flew by and Ilm l d h d , I 5 n G g a we a programs had such a good time 'trying to decipher them. I was very surprised to see how many girls in our school can dance. About eighty-five demonstrated their ability that night. ' That old bowery gal, Grace French, showed us how to dance on the sidewalks of New York. W'e laughed 'till our hair came down at the feather on her hat. 38

CHRISTMAS PARTIES Exit Fall in all its glory, now comes 'Winter I settled down to a drab affair of about six months but I had a pleasant surprise. Right after the girls at Kendall had a Dorm. dance the Juniors played Santa Claus to the Seniors at the annual Christmas party. I thought I was in snowball land where only Christmas trees grow, I was sure of it when Santa came rushing in Cminus his snow shoesj. Every- one became so interested in the presents they received that they forgot to play anymore games. I decided Ild better take my present and go home before they asked me to be it in another game. No, I didnlt leave before the lunch. Thatls how I managed to get sick, I ate too many popcorn balls with my cookies and ice cream. just before we left for vacation we had our Candle Lighting service. The decorations were so Christmasy and the stories and music both so impressive. It made us all feel that the world wasn't such a bad place to live after all. School was out and the girls all ran Like only we Phys. Ed. girls can. IfVe tore to the station with fast beating heart Two grips unloading, one falling apart. Fifteen days of vacation Again we ran to the station Glad to leave and glad to return. Variety's the spice of life we learn. THE MID-YEAR DEMONSTRATION It's a great life if you don't weaken, so Nlr. Teuscher says. Of course we didnlt weaken and returned just in time to assist the school in putting on an elaborate Nlid-Year demonstration. Judge from this, I changed my costume four times and I was only a minor detail. SPRING PARTIES Itls a long story but winter finally broke. We filled in the between times with bridge parties at Greenwood. I nearly kick out a fuse when Owakon kicked over the water pitcher while attempting to blew Nliska under the table for trumping her ace. Outside of that we managed to follow suit till Spring came. And then- no, our fancies didnlt turn etc, etc., they stayed right on the beaten path. IrVe followed the trail out to South Chicago Y one night and added a great deal to their program by putting on a Danish number for them. I then decided that my work- ing days were over for a while so I went home for Spring vacation. 39
