Frances Whitaker Synopsis Dame Needy, with her large family, lives in The Old Shoe, a tene- ment in Twilight Alley. Meg is the oldest of eight daughters, and Jack, the only son, is captain of a baseball nine of boys of his own age. Angelina is an emigrant child who is left all day at The Old Shoe, while her mother works in a factory. Lily is the daughter of a well-to-do property owner, the landlord of The Old Shoe. One afternoon Lily loses her way in the city streets and wanders into a tenement court where the sunshine rarely penetrates because of the smoke. She pities these twilight dwellers and invites them to her own lovely garden. While Dame Needy is asleep, the girls steal away with her to her home on the hill-top. During their absence the boys rebel at being compelled to live in The Old Shoe and decide to burn it, but Lily and the others return in time to offer a happier solution, and all ends well. 1926 IPAGE 461

The Freshmen were also initiated that night and it was cer- tainly a joke to see the blindfolded students led in, either by Miss Hahn or Mr. Sullivan. The Freshmen were required to do a number of foolish things before they were permitted to enter High School. Games were indulged in the rest of the evening and were enjoyed by all. Refreshments appropriate for the occasion were served. Each and everyone pronounced lt a successful party. ALUMNI BANQUET On Tuesday, December 29, 1925, the C. P. G. H. S. basketball team, and the C. P. H. S. Alumni team were the guests of Mr. Sullivan at a ban- quest given at Baylor's Cafe. The following three course menu was served. Fruit Cocktail Potatoes Gravy Dressing Roast Chicken Cranberries Ice Cream Coffee Cake After the meal several jokes were told, and Charles Brown of the University of Illinois gave the team a few suggestions on the art of keeping training. Several members of the teams were absent on account of sickness and various other reasons. The dinner ended each player hoping that such a get-together might be accomplished every year. FAREWELL PARTY On the evening of January 12, the Sophomore class and the High School teachers assembled in the High School gymnasium to give a farewell party for Myrtle Hasselbring, one of our students of the Sophomore class who was moving away. The evening was spent in playing games and playing tricks on each other. Mr. Courtright, the class adviser, amused them with his tricks. Refreshments which consisted of sandwiches, pickles, cocoa, cookies, and ice-cream were served. We regret Myrtle's moving away very much for we lost one of our best Sophomore students and a participant in many school activities. COUNTRY GEN TLEMAN PARTY The assembly of students was divided into three groups, the Rockets, Meteors and Comets. Miss Opal Judy was chosen captain of the Rockets, Miss Rosella McCray, captain of the Comets, and Mr. Elmer Walder, captain of the Meteors. Heretofore the school had only had the privilege of selling the Country Gentleman but this year it was also given the right to sell the Saturday Evening Post and the Ladies Home Journal. The school received fifty per cent of the proceeds from the sale of the Country Gentle- 1926 IPAGE 481
