H. Hayman at their home on Dearborn street. A four course dinner was served at li:30. The color scheme of yellow and white was artis- tically carried out the decorations and in the menu. After dinner the guests enjoyed games and stunts. SENATE BANQUET Blatchley Hall was the scene of one of the most elaborate social functions of the year when on the evening of April 26 the annual Senate Banquet was given. Senate colors, and red roses, the Senate flower, were used in carrying out the scheme of decoration. A diversion from the ordinary formality of toasts was secured by burlescjuing one of the regular Senate meetings, all Senators tailing part in the jirogram. Invited guests were Dr. and Mrs. Boone, Mr. and Mrs. Blatchley, Mr. and Mrs. Hay- man, Misses Dorothy Youmans, Margaret Boone, Frankie Taylor, Geraldine Sanford, Molly Hopkins, Elizabeth Handy, Edith Crookham, Jeanette Motz, Viola Evans, Mildred Hanmi, Kate Moss and Ora Jasper. Senators giving the banquet were Hinshaw, Jackson, Hartko] f, .Miller, Baumberger, Smith, Springer, Bassett, Harger, Cohen, Bryan and Farrar. Finney Hall Hi-Jinks was a new and original feature of the Finney monthly parties. Never before has the old hall looked silently down on its gay young inmates so ingenu- ously arrayed, that is, if it recognized the girls .at all. There was the Sheik with his fair harem, playing with the tempera7iiental hula dancer. Bathing beauties that rivaled Mac Sennet ' s flipped their cigarettes in the face of the horrified cave woman. There were vamps and hicks — society belles and nigger twin.s — Cirandma and her bare-foot boy came in late, last but not lea.st. Some of the guests performed, adding imich to the evening ' s enjoy- ment. Then the brown sugar pop-corn balls were passed. . nd now since the Hi-Jinks is exclusively a woman ' s party that ' s all we are going to tell. Last but not least, comes the Jump Creek Picnic, which was appropriately named The Fools ' Picnic. ' ' Early in the morning of April 2, a multitude gathered at Sterry Hall and clambered each into the handiest vehicle to be found. Everything from the truck to I.a Verne ' s motorcycle was drafted into service and it was difficult to say just who got the worst of it. Despite any occasional mishaps on the road, however, all reached the destination alive. No planned entertainment was necessary, for after lunch everyone set forth in twos and fours — mostly two.s — over the devil ' s ladder, for the second falls. Many were the thrilling experiences had in this chapter of the day. A new custom was set in going to Jump Creek this year. Curtis Park will no doubt be deserted from now on, on Fools ' Day. The picnic was a never-to-be-forgotten one, especially we do feel confident that the poison-oak victims feel this way about it.

The girls, singing Christmas earols, marched down tlie stairway and joined the hovs in the ))arlors. The Christmas story was read and several nuisieal numbers were enjoyed. Then stunts and games furnished the entertainment. Santa came in and distributed gifts fr Mn the beautifully deeorati-d Christmas tree. Finally, after nearly all the toys were broken, everyone descended to the dining room where an elaborate supper was served. POST KXA: r -H ' RILEE One of the most solenm social events of the season was held in loving memory of those who succumbed to the fiery furnace of examination week at the close of the first semester and who joined that innumerable caravan of flunkcrs. The flunkers were all present. Prof. Rankin could be seen stalking aliout laughing in fiendish glee at sight of each trembling, trepld math fiunker. Prof. Smith kept to the dark corners lest he be recognized and assaulted by some blackguard biology flunker. Tlie generally aifable and suave Prof. Van Xuys was mute with ai)])rchension. The genial and benign Prof. Springer was trenuilously creeping from oni ' refuge to another, but ala-- ' , lie could hide neither behind I ' rof. Smith nor Miss Nichol. The students liowever put on a mask of gaiety to hide their anguish. They were to he seen shaking hands in all sorts of jieculiar ways. Finally they assembled to pay their last tributes to their departed brethren. Dr. Boone gave a message of clieer assuring them that now each day, in every way, we are getting better and fewer. Tearful strains proceeded from the male quartet. ' I ' he Hopkins-.Motz Duo rendered the Miserere, ' which was very a|)|iropriate. Samuel Ilungcrford played some sad re- frains on tlie violin. A dark, deep, mystic drama Jewels, wrung jiearly tears from every witness. A tragic ])ortrayal of school life reminded each flunker of his own wrecked career. .After partaking of necessary nourishment the guests deiiarted to be alone with their thoughts and their dreams. FOIJIM BAXgiKT The Fifth Annual Banquet of the Parthenian Forum was lield at Blatchley Hall, Friday evening, April 13. The color scheme of pink and white was carried out in the dee- orations.
