THE IVY LEAF The Hczllocae 'en Tarty The evening of October 30, at eight-thirty o'clock, was the time appointed for the first real party of the year. All of Bethany was present, including the usual ghosts and goblins. Some of the costumes most noticeable were: the Gold-dust Twins, Topsy and Eva, Colonial ladies, a belle of the '80's, Chinese gentlemen, clowns., cowboys, geisha girls, ballet dancers, Africans, and many others, All those in costume were introduced to the faculty. Then began the Grand March, after which each one was called upon for an original stunt. The Gold-dust Twins vigorously scrubbed the floor, but afterwards, when they rose to their feet, the fioor was found to be covered with black grease paint. Topsy and Elva sang a most pleasing number. The judges awarded t-he prizes to the Gold-dust Twins and Topsy and Eva, their costumes being the most unique. After this several games were played. A four-piece orchestra furnished excellent music for the dance, and apples, popcorn and cider were served as refreshments. Miss Holt, in an attractive costume, told fortunes during the evening. ANNA WALSH '29. Bethany Tifzzfza 1' Bethany's annual bazaar was held December 5, 1925. That Saturday morning the desks were hastily removed from the assembly hall, and within a period of threehours the same hall had been turned into a veritable fairy-land. The reading room, adjoining the assembly hall, had been converted into a charming little French tea room. In this delightful place the college girls sold tea and sandwiches. The Junior class, in their gayly decorated silver and cerise booth, sold over a hundred pounds of candy. The Sophomores had charge of the fancy work booth, which contained many ar-- ticles that would make any woman's heart rejoice. The Freshmen also deserve praise for the lovely handkerchiefs and aprons they contributed. The eighth grade, which has proved itself to be a class full of school spirit, sold pastry and canned fruit. How it makes the mouth water to remember it! Besides sponsoring the grab-bag, the pupils of the intermediate department were cash girls and balloon venders. That evening a delicious cafeteria supper, which was donated entirely by friends of Bethany, was served in the dining room. At the close of the day, the college girls, under the able direction of Mrs. Hinckley, presented their Follies in true professional style. Om' Chr'z's1f17zfzs 'Party When there is a successful party of any sort, there are always certain people who have exerted themselves to their best efforts in order to make it so. For a real dance, a nice smooth floor, a good orchestra and a jolly crowd are abso- lute necessities, but when we have pink punch that slips down easily, and red candy itlclzls tliaat gave one that stuck up as well as sweet feeling, we have, as it were, butter or e rea . Practical people are satisfiedwith bread and butter, but Bethany girls, sensible as they usually are, have a strong inclination for an additional layer composed of jelly. Jelly, as you know, lshnot classed among the fundamental needs of life, but it is readily welcomed whenever it may be had. As this delectable delicacy is to the bread and so were those noble girls who dressed as sheiks and escorted the rest of us DENA LIBBIN '27. l'nin1'ml l'llI'llllllI'0 is all the rage, Every girl should be well dressed, and ll will last from llLf1 l0 If!-50'-' And every day should look her best- DUJ, JUN' l1'l'lll :ll JOYWN llllllll Hllflll.
