Among the many delightful social times of the Senior Class was the party at Lake View Park Hotel on January 11th, the president as well as the others having realized that exams were near at hand and that “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.” “The night was cold and damp, and dark and dreary” when eighteen members of the class with Prof, and Mrs. W. L. Davis as chaperons met at the home of Miss Helen Marcy, and from there w'ent on the trolley to the spacious and oft-frequented hotel. Upon arrival the girls quickly prepared a delicious supper, (without much aid from the boys, for they had performed this task the previous time) which was greatly enjoyed by all. After the feast, the remainder of the evening was spent in music and dancing for Mr. and Mrs. Banning kindly loaned their organ for the occasion. Here some of the mose skilled members furnished an orchestra w'hile the others “Tripped the light fantastic.” At a late hour the Seniors returned home, pronouncing the party one of the best thus far, and with the thought firmly established in their minds that Mr. and Mrs. Davis are efficient chaperons. ALL ON A WINTER’S EVENING. Wasn’t it perfectly natural that the Seniors should want to celebrate after the mid-year exams w-ere over? Of course. Well, celebrate they did. Eighteen loyal ’13ers wit h Pro0, and Mrs. Davis met at Helen Marcy’s on the evening of February 1 and went from there via the famous everpresent (?) street car to Lake View' Park Hotel. That is, they went as far as the car went and then ploughed through the “white and drifted snow” to the Hotel. Here everything w'as warm and cheery and the boys began to prepare the supper for the boys furnished the “eats” that evening, but strange to say, they permitted the girls to help them prepare it. No doubt, they remembered how' long it had taken them, without feminine aid, the last time. After the spread, various musicians of the class manipulated the

The long table at which covers were laid for thirty-seven was spread in the corridor on the main floor. The Senior colors of yellow and white were carried out in all the appointments. Long streamers of crepe paper formed a canopy over the table which was lit with yellow-shaded candelabra, the soft light of these throwing a delicate radiance over the attractively laid table. The place cards were dainty little booklets with a miniature paper football bearing the guest’s name on the cover and containing the guest list and toasts. The banquet was served in four courses with the toasts between. Prof. E. D. Williamson proved himself a clever toastmaster, introducing first, Prof. W. E. Smith, who spoke on “The Appetizer.” The program proceeded as follows: FIRST COURSE.

One of the most enjoyable stunts, aside from Hughie’s famous diving act which he persists in exhibiting, was the mock commencement when June, as mistress of ceremonies, distinguished herself with her eloquent speeches. While waiting for the returning car, some of the “kids” visited Candy-land where Frances and Cornelia played the penny slot machine and each won a package of gum. Just think of it, Seniors gambling! Not wanting to miss anything, tihe merrymakers looked in on a Hungarian dance which was in full swing in one of the Day street buildings and enjoyed the unusual spectacle to the utmost, until the car arrived. The evening’s fun was pronounced “simply great. THK .JUNIOR CLASS. The Junior Parties of the class of nineteen fourteen have been few and far between, but each one of the few has proven a huge success. Putting it mildly the Juniors felt bad, when the careful planning of two of their meetings came to naught. Saturday, February first, the Juniors were to have attended a social given at the Grange Hall on Daniels Avenue, but on account of the heavy snow fall they were forced to give up the party until some later date. The Juniors have made plans for a party for Saturday, February 15th. THK SHOW KK BATHS Since the installation o! shower baths in the boys’ locker, basketball practice has gone on with a vim, and the boys fairly revel in this ne.v institution. The need of these showers has been long felt and the boys owe much to Mr. Williamson through whose untiring efforts and wishes for the betterment of the school, the baths were installed. FOOTBALL TEAM HONORS COACH. Desiring to express their thanks to Mr. HeLman for his aid in coaching the 1912 Football team, the boys of that famous band presented him with a sweater. Hugh Buchanan, captain o: the team, made the presentation speech in chapel on January 7, thanking Mr. Helman for lm aid and encouragement. Mr. Helman then heartily thanked the boys, telling them that it was through their steady perseverance that their victories were won. The sweater is a heavy white one bearing a large blue “C on it. THK OLD HOMKSTKAI). “The Old Homestead which was produced in the C. H. S. auditorium on the evening of February 6 and 7, the proceeds of which will go for athletic equipment for the school, was, perhaps, the most successful home talent play ever produced in the city. The parts were fittingly assigned and each and every actor carried out his role to perfection. The house was crowded both nights and the promoters of the play feel amply repaid for their efforts. Heath’s seven piece orchestra furnished a delightful program throughout the evening.
