S. the Freshmen were in- formed that they were to be initiated into the wonders and mysteries of High School life at a party. On our arrival there, we found that not a single Freshie was absent as direct punishment had been promised them if they failed to appear. They were duly put through various ceremoniesg by the committee in charge. Then everyone joined in playing various games until at the general cry of Let's eat. The weiners and marshmallows which had been provided were brought forth and speedily disappeared. Everyone then returned home wishing the Freshmen much success all through their High School life. Hallowe'en Party O'n the evening of October 27, the Seniors gave a party in theform of a Hallowe'en masquerade to which the other classes were invited. The committee had decorated the gym in true Hallowe'en custornsg fortunes were told in many interesting ways. Partners were chosen and told to follow a string which led them into various rooms of the building. In one room, fortunes were told by throwing nuts on the fire. In another, a ghost gave out blank pieces of paper which, when held over a candle fiame, pro- claimed what the future had in store for us. In still another room, under the direction of an old witch, we foretold our fates by dropping tallow from a lighted candle into a pan of water. Various other games were played, after which delicious refreshments were served by the committee. The guests departed at a late hour, thank- ing the Seniors for an enjoyable evening. . Senior Bob-Sled Party At the first heavy snowfall of the season, the Seniors had a bob-sled party. 4 Everyone enjoyed their ride very much, although a few students re- ceived minor injuries when the bob-sled upset. However, this accident was a mere trifie for what's a sleighing party without a spillor two? Returning to the school house they did full justice to a lunch which was served there. Junior Bob-Sled Party The Juniors also took advantage of this snow and had a sleighing party on the same night. The ride was very enjoyable, although the side of the sled fell out and several students fell into an snow bank. After the ride, they returned to the home of Ralph Schmidt and spent the rest of the evening playing Rook and other games. A delicious lunch was served. The guests dispersed all hoping for another snowfall soon. Sophomore Party ' Immediately after first semester exams, the Sophomore class held a Post-Exam Jubilee to celebrate the fact that the members had successfully completed the first half of the school year. forty-five

Everyone declared they had had a fine time in spite of the fact that someone tried to ruin the eats by adding a liberal amount of pepper. St. Patrick's Party The Junior class issued an invitation to the rest of the High School students for a St. Patrick's Day party at the High School gym. The gym was decorated in green and white in honor of the good St. Patrick. The party began with a game of Going to Jerusalem, using shamrocks pasted on the walls in the place of chairs. After this a contest consisting of several events was held in which members from each class participated. The Sophomore class easily won the contest as their contestants took sev- eral first and second places. Refreshments consisting of sandwiches, pickles, green and white ice cream, shamrock cookies and cocoa were served. After playing several other games, the guests departed, voting the Juniors royal entertainers. Freshmen Parties At the beginning of the school year, the Latin 1 class was divided into two groups known as the Astra and the Semper Parati. During the year vocabulary contests were held and the loser of each contest gave a party in honor of the winner. Three such parties were given this year. The first given by the Semper ?arati was a Christmas party. Games appropriate to the occasion were indulged in and delicious refreshments were served. The second, a Valentine party, was given by the Astra. A valentine box, with valentines made by each person present, was the feature of the evening. The Astra also gave the third party which was in the form of a treas- ure hunt. The party was very successful in spite of the fact that part of the refreshments disappeared in a most mysterious way. Weiner Roast On Monday evening, May 7, the High School students journeyed to Spain's Bridge to attend a weiner roast given by the Sophomore class. Various games were played until the exercise made everyone hungry. Then weiners and marshmallows were roasted and buns, pickles and coffee were served.
