The tags given out earlier in the evening each bore a number, the girls' numbers corre- sponding to those on the boys' tags, and in this manner each one was fur- nished with a partner for the refresh- ment dance. Every one present voted the affair a jolly good time and all asked eagerly for the date of the next one. The treasury is now in fairly good shape, so that the Social Committee expects to announce another good time soon after the vacation days are over.

The new Cogswell Alumni Associa- tion held its first social event on the evening of March 13th. Over two hundred of the black and green postal cards, already becoming so well known to former Cogswellites, were sent out and a great number of graduates and former students responded to the sum- mons for a good time in the old au- ditorium. Most of the old classes were well represented, and even one lone mem- ber of the class of 1891 was present. At the door each one was presented with a tag on which to write his name and address and which he wore during the evening. In this way every one was able to get acquainted with those who had graduated before or after his own time. A vote was also taken by means of these tags as to whether or not there should be an Alumni banquet at some future date. As might be expected, the majority were in favor of the banquet, and some day soon the members of the association will be summoned to what we hope will become an annual event. Mr. Rotrosky started the entertain- ment for the evening by a short ad- dress, explaining that this was the first of many good times which, it is hoped, would be given under the aus- pices of the Alumni Association. He then explained how each member of the Social Committee was to take charge of the program for one evening, and introduced Merrill Howe, who had charge for that evening. Mr. Howe, after a few remarks, presented Mr. Miller, who said that he had always desired to have a permanent Alumni Association connected with the school and that he believed the one now started would form the nucleus of a large and a permaneiht association.
