THE IVY LEAF Yktfzczny Cczmlle Service December 18, 1925. I 'Twas dark and chill without, Within, our hearts glowed warm with cheer- Faint music echoed through the spacious halls- Soft footsteps hastened clown the creaking stairs. II Before us, through the dark, the chapel doorway looms Twinkling' candles glitter through the gloom, Yuletide adornments strew the narrow aisles, Young, eager Voices swell the Christmas hymn. -Dorothy Hanson '27. l i K l kx.f1Q Page 52 DLL

THE IVY LEAF rzrfzz'-va! The carnival, given by the Bethany Forum, was held April ninth. It consisted of a dance, fortune telling, candy, hamburger and grab bag booths, side shows, and a cold drink stand. Balloons, confetti, and serpentine added greatly to its interest. Everyone spent a very enjoyable evening, in dancing and attending the various attractions. zmz'0f'-Sefziorf Tram. On the evening of May 14, the Junior-Senior Prom. was given. The St. John's boys came to Bethany from Salina, Kansas, for the dance. Miss Whitton and Miss Carlisle, principals of the school, Miss Kerns and Miss Eustace, the class sponsors, Bishop and Mrs. Wise, and Chaplain Poindexter, also at- tended. The dining-room was decorated with crepe paper, flowers, and Japanese lanterns, giving the effect of a lovely spring garden. The orchestra furnished good music, and delicious refreshments were served in keeping with the spirit of the occasion. uf 71 7ZOZHZC677Z67lZ Several members of the Faculty received the following: MR.

' College Qzrls -727.3 Tarty On February 13, the college class had an informal dance. What excitement for the host of high school girls to see boys at a Bethany dance! The hearts of college girls themselves beat more rapidly than usual. The dance was held in the study hall which had been arranged very attractively. Much of the credit for the success of the party was due to Polly Speelman, who headed the committee.

THE IVY LEAF' 73676177251 Teas Just as the hands of the hall clock pointed to the hour of nine-thirty, ten oddly ,clad figures appeared in the hall. The hour of the pajama tea was at hand. After everyone was seated, dainty refreshments were served by a charming hostess. During the eve- ning, it was possible to hear fragments of speeches such as, Isn't he precious? No, I prefer Colgate's. It's less fattening. These prove that many important and weighty questions were discussed at that social event. The hall clock pointed to the hour of ten-thirty, another patter of feet was heard, and stillness reigned. Scarcely a week passes without one of these teas, for they are very essentialto col- lege life. They furnish pleasure which can be found in no other way. A few times some of the guests found the evening's entertainment so enjoyable that they spent many hours during thc night in thinking of it. At least, let us suppose that was the reason. If Bethany girls were in the habit of eating more than they should, we might attribute their hours of unrest to that, but of course they do not, so there must be some other reason. 1 1 Several times the hostesses have had difficulty in preparing the food. At one tea the lettuce suddenly disappeared. It had been quietly resting upon the window sill until it was neededg then, for some unknown reason, it vanished. After searching many minutes, one young lady cautiously peered out of the window. There on the ground lay the lettuce. It was soon rescued, and upon examination showed that it had suffered no serious injuries from its two-story fall. Of course, the sandwiches needed to be toasted, so one of the hostesses placed the nice little oven on the fire to get hot. Just as she began to put the dainty slices of bread in it, the bottom fell from it quite unexpectedly. There was nothing to do but toast the thin slices by holding them over the flame with a fork. This task proved to be rather tiring, for it takes some time to toast enough sandwiches for twelve healthy people. When all were finished, they presented a very attractive appearance. Perhaps they did look a little black and crurnbly, but they were toasted, and that was the important thing. ' By their teas the girls of Bethany College have brought about great reforms in the rules of etiquette. It is now considered quite proper to sip coffee with a fork, or to balance beans on a knife-provided one has acquired the art of doing it gracefully. If there are no napkins in that vicinity, the sleeve of a pajama suit, or the hern,0f a kimono will do just as well. All of the great books on etiquette are now adoptingvthese laws, for they are the greatest changes made along that line in fifty years. EVELYN HAUSER.
