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. AN APPRECIATION OF THE JUNIOR-SENIOR PROM OF BETHANY AS EXPRESSED BY TOM THE ODD-JOBSTER TO HIS FRIEND, ED Dear Ed: Well as you know I've always had a hankerin' fer high sassiety and what's more I've had a taste an' boy howdy it was some taste.

This year them Juniors and Seniors had their shin-dig on Friday the thirteenth of May an' superstitious as you know I be, I can'L hardly say as I e'er seen no better success. They had the swellest possible beaux and all danced so gay and sprightly, it were a plaisure to my ol' heart to see 'em. They was sixteen couples in all not a countin' of several of them teachers and of all the purty gowns, I nary seen the like even if I wint none of a judge. The dancin' though I say-but one little missy she was so beflustered she nary knowed whar' she stepped at-gee, it was grand. No wonder with that there orcheitray. An' decorations-thnizlmlwere so sweet cause the little missies themselves d ' d h h l l 't f one ixe t e W o e p ace up wi owers.
