12 THE TATTLER There was “music in the air” the whole way, and with the assistance of Prof. Davis and Clayton Webb, the time passed quickly. Upon arriving at their destination, the girls set about preparing a very appetizing meal, and as the attendance was less than expected, everyone had plenty of “potatoes.” Some members of the class had a remarkable capacity for pickles and popcorn balls. Music and dancing were enjoyed by the participants and spectators and amid hearty thanks for the hospitality shown they started homeward. Mr. and Mrs. Davis again displayed their ability to chaperone the Juniors and help along with the fun. The party was pronounced a decided success. SENIOR PARTY. On Friday night, February 9th, the Senior class and most of the faculty were entertained at the Andrews home, west of the city, by the Misses Andrews and Irvin. The affair was a Valentine party and the house was beautifully decorated with red hearts, a combination of the class colors and the spirit of St. Valentine. Several members of the party gave vocal and instrumental selections. Those present were then given a mismatched list of famous lovers and were required to match them properly. Hazel Rawdon won the prize and Roy Blanchard was consoled. The guests were then paired off and given ten minutes to talk together. At the end of this time the wrote a description of the person with whom they had been talking. A delicious four-course luncheon was served after which the descriptions which had been written earlier in the evening were read. SENIORS JOURNEY TO MONROE. About twenty members of the Senior class, accompanied by Miss Ford and Miss Bain, journeyed in a sleigh to Monroe Center. Everyone was prepared to meet Arctic conditions and did meet them, too. On the way out one of the members was overcome by the cold and was carried into a farm house to be picked up on the return trip. One of the pleasant features of the trip was the ocean wave effect, secured by driving over the drifted roads. On one occasion we seemed to strike the bottom, at any rate all hands had to get out and lift the sleigh out of the trough of the wave in w'hich it was stuck. We found the Grange hall warm and bright when w'e arrived. After v'e had thawed out we played several old-fashioned games and danced. A hot country supper was the next thing on the program, then after making a few repairs to the sleigh, we started home. Our return trip was also fraught with excitement. We drove quietly along for a wdiile and then turning out to avoid a drift, we were gently precipitated into a drift of soft snow. We picked up our disabled member and gave him a very warm reception, ror soon after his arrival we capsized. Those present were the Misses Barnum, Abbott, Eagles, Franklin, Andrew's, Irvin, Pearce, Kepple, Lapham, Hunt and Rawdon, and the Messrs. Stone, Mason, Bonnell, Green, Hall, Blanchard and Smith.

The football team and their girl friends were given a banquet at the home of Robert Smith, by the mothers of the eight senior members of the eleven. The banquet was served at eight o’clock amid surroundings that were very beautiful. The class colors, maroon and white, formed the predominant note in the decorations, the faultless taste and richness of which shoved the work of a master hand. A variety of beautiful pennants added a great deal to the inviting appearance of the interior of the house. It was a roast pig banquet, and the elegant menu was served in four courses. The following toasts were given by members of the team, coaches, and friends: Prof. Smith, one of the coaches, acted as toastmaster. History of C. H. S. team in the past four seasons, Fred G.
