Did ever a St. ,Pat's day go by without that question? No, I believe not and this year as much as ever, everyone wore the greenest decorations that she could find, from complexions to hair-ribbons. The day was a particularly festive one for the Freshman, we wonder why? After Chapel the Seniors dashed madly to their rooms there to change into their very bestlpzgtiyv clothes. Then, we all decided that something unusual was going to happen. t 1 . For the first thing the tables had been very attractively arrayed in shades of green, and then-Miss Whitton announced that we were to elect the Sunshine Girl for the year, no small matter when girls are all as pleasant as we are. After much deep thought Frances Warner was being cheered through out the whole dining room. Oh! Look at Dora, doesn't she look cute? Yes, and look at them all. To whom should the prize go for having the most - 171: original costume . After much hesitation the Judges decided in favor of Patty and her pipe. As Patsy Brunner wore the prize costume the College girls were all terribly delighted and bore her and a BOX of Candy in a St. Pat's hat triumphantly home. Hurrah for a fine time and may St. Pat's Day come soon and more often! The Sophomore Bazaar Hot Dogs! Popcorn! Candy! Pop! Right this way to the Duck Pond. Five cents a duck. See what this girl got, a nice tin horn. Maybe you'1l get something as good. Want your fortune told? We guarantee to satisfy. . Dance and Bridge tickets sold here. Everybody buy one. 501. 594. 615.

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

Its proprietor, Miss Virginia Thomson, after having chosen a. charming location, namely the reception room of Holmes Hall, selected her waitresses and chefs from the College Class. ' As the menu was very appetizing you will find it directly below. MENU Tomato Soups-10 cents Mockturtle Oxtail Bouillon Pepper Pot Fruit Salad and Hot Rolls-25 cents Hot Tamales-10 cents I-Iot Dogs-5 cents S d ' h an Wic es Bacon and Lettuce-I0 cents Bacon and Tomato-15 cents Ham, baked-15 cents Coffee Beverages-5 cents Punch Now for a little inside information. Miss Thomson is the College Sponsor and was a great aid to them in the making of their quota for the Lenten Fund. As Sunday evening tea usually covers a ,period of half an hour, you can readily guess what fun it must have been, when you learn that the waitresses and the chefs were kept bustling from five to eight.
