College G1rls Bndge Party On the evening of October the second, after due permission had been obtained, the College girls might have been observed scurrying from parlor to library and back to the parlor again. In each room were tables at which both Faculty and girls spent an enjoyable evening. Shortly after ten, tea and sandwiches were served, and judging from the cookie box when I peeked in afterwards, they must have been very good. There are several things that I forgot to mention. The first is that the Benefit was for the Bazaar which we were unable to have on account of a terrorizing small- pox scare. The second has to do with the prizes, for what Bridge Party is fun to watch unless there is a ,prize in the offing? Miss Barbara Jarrell, with her usual good luck and fine play bore away first, while Edna Hawkes with Qperhaps I had better omit the adjectivesj won the Booby. Its real importance lay in the fact that it started the class ball rolling. The Faculty Dance Who could deny that the party given on February 11th was one of the best ever? It would be, naturally, because it was given by the faculty for the girls! The decorations were in keeping with St. Valentine's Day. Now Prof. Birch did not recognize that it was a Valentine party until refreshments were served, and he saw the brick ice cream with a red heart molded in itg so you see, the decorations were appropriate. Who would dwell on decorations when there is a good jazz orchestra present? For old times sake, we all danced the Virginia Reel, and later we were given the most clever favors which were red balloon men with feet so heavy that they always managed to alight on them, no matter how they were tossed about, We all had such a lovely time that We hated to see the musicians gather up their music and leave. Wouldn't it be a wonderful idea to have more such parties? The l-lalloWe'en Party Just about five minutes more, girls, and the work will be finished. You've all worked just splendidly and thanks loads. The next time we see one another we won't know which of the bunch we are looking at. And such was indeed the case! For at eight that evening a crowd of Hobgoblins, Ghosts, and most all kinds of queer things were pouring into the Bethany Gym for an evening of merriment, which I'm sure they all got! There was a grand Orchestra which made everyone's feet tingle so they just couldn't sit still, so they danced! The party was in full sway when the games began. Races of every variety, Treasure Hunt which ended successfully for the College girls, favors, and in general everything that anyone could want for a party. There were only two things the matter with it. The one we had so much fun that We had all danced out our slippers without realizing that we were tird. The other-the whole affair was so generally peppy that it was quite a disappointment to us all, to find out that we had to get to bed. It was all very well for those girls who are coming back next year but for those of us who have seen our last Hallowe'en Party at Bethany, leaving time came much too soon.

This year Bethany made a festival day of the anniversary. The Topeka Alumnae served tea in the library after a Musical Vespers in the chapel. There were representatives from nearly all states who had come back to the scene of their youth, back to give their Alma Mater inspiration and new vigor. May the girls always have the spirit of Founders' Day in their hearts nad come back to Bethany on the First of November each year, if possible. We Would Like to Know Which Senio1's enjoy climbing fire escapes the most? Why Toddy and Jane are fond of Walking on Sundays? Why Kathryn leans over the banister when the door bell rings? Where the call comes from that cures Pat's tooth aches and blues? How many petticoats Frances Warner wears? Why Ruth Morrison likes the air around the campus? Why Miss Thomson prefers Hupmobiles although her brother drives a Dodge? Who Jerry belongs to? Who ties the door between Mervene's and Verne's room? Why Veta never argues? Why Helen Miller always buys her shoes at Jones-O'Neals. Senior Party 'Twas the night before vacation but unlike the old legend there were many sounds on fourth floor. Just a few days before Miss Whitton had promised us that we might have a Senior party in the art room so our cup of joy was filled to the very brim. During the first part of the evening we danced to the gentle music of Dena's Vic- trola. We also discussed plans, our many plans, for the coming holidays. After we were fatigued from dancing Miss Eustace played the part of Santa Claus and dist1'ibuted the various and sundry presents lying under our prettily decorated t ree. Delicious refreshments were served. The last half of the evening was spent in listening to Miss Eustace tell ghost stories. These stories were so realistic that they made us think the statues were floating phantoms and the pattering of rain on the roof was certainly a bad omen. Finally we departed for our various rooms with happy thoughts of the coming vacation. ' The Diocesan Convention - The annual Diocesan Convention was held in conjunction with the Bishop's Crusade February twelfth to February nineteenth, at Grace Cathedral, Topeka, Kansas. As is customary an informal tea was held Sunday afternoon, February thirteenth, at Bethany College for all the delegates and visitors. This affords them the opportunity of looking over the school, and of becoming acquainted with the faculty and girls. On the following Monday evening the Glee Club under the direction of George W. Barnes entertained at the dinner held at the Masonic Temple. Later in the week the Rev- erend Harry T. Moore, D. D., of the diocese of Texas, spoke to the girls at Chapel Service. lIIllHIIIIIIIIHHHIIIIIHIIIHHIIIIHIIIIIIIIlHHIIIIIIIIIHIIIIIIHIIIIIIIHIIIIIHIIIIIIIHIIIIIH 1 9 2 7 IIIIIIIIHIHIIHIIHIHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIHIIHlIlIIIIlllillllllllllllllllllllllllll
