18 THE TATTLER SENIOR PARTIES. The first rally of the Seniors after the Christmas vacation was on Saturday, January 16th, when, after watching the Faculty give our High School team a light practice in the art of football, the noble, dignified, wrinkled-hrowed Seniors of C. H. S. bestowed themselves gracefully upon a modern hayrack and, while the heavens wept tears of condolence over the defeated Faculty, journeyed westward to an imposing edifice commonly known as Amboy school house, where a mysterious shadow social was in progress. Mr. Main, Miss Waters, Mr. Hyre, and Miss Aiken chaperoned the party. Prof. Henry, on account of a slight indisposition caused by his opponent coming in violent contact with his physiogomy, was unable to attend. By the time some of the hoys had made amateur financiers of themselves by-establishing numerous loans until Monday for the price of a supper, the ravenous appetites were somewhat appeased. Games took up the remainder of the evening and after another rapid-transit journey they arrived home safely. After searching the annals of C. II. S. in vain, and as vainly questioning each discrete Senior, we are obliged to omit the hour of dispersal. ADVICE TO THE FRESHMEN As you come in the high school hall. These rules especially recall. Don’t stand around and loudly talk, But to some room you should quickly walk. From the Gym keep far away; In the lockers and halls don’t play; Don’t forget and bring ypur toys, Nor make naughty eyes at little boys. If you disobey in any way, A deep voice is sure to say: “Freshmen, it is plain to see, That this sort of thing must never be.” Boys must not gambol on the green. Nor walking with the girls be seen; And as you develop your minds, (Avoid attachments of such kinds). —The Seniors.

THE TATTLER 17 Boys from all classes of the High School took it upon themselves to give the girls a treat. All met at the Baldwin Block, where a hayrack was waiting. It was a bitter cold night, but all bundled up and if they did get cold nothing was said. On the return a lunch was prepared, the girls declaring that they never ate such a delicious one. At a late hour about seventy-five briskly walked away with a smile on their face, yet feeling sorry that it was time to go. One of the High School girls got busy and made preparations for about ten couples to take a sleighride out to Farnham. They arrived safely and after toasting their toes started with the fun. Dancing and games were the amusements of the evening. A dainty lunch was served and then the fun resumed again, but not till they returned did the real fun come in when the bobs tipped over three times. The jolly bunch of Juniors meet at the Memorial at 7 o’clock (?) where a hayrack was awaiting them. When nearly frozen, they reached their destination which was the Loomis Hall at harnham. Their great joy was in finding a warm fire, and when completely thawed out started with the fun. The first part of the evening was given up to stunts and games. A delicious supper was then served by the Misses Myrtle Drew, Louise Arthur, and Marguerite Klump. The remainder of the evening was enjoyed by dancing, the Virginia Reel being the most prominent. When Sunday began to dawn they adjourned, declaring it to be the best party of the season. Mr. and Mrs. Davis and Mr. and Mrs. Tom chaperoned. In celebration of the survival of the tortures of another mid-year exam, the Seniors held a jollification on the old Spring floor at Farnham. They left towm at 5 :30 in a sleigh, taking with them a delicious supper. After laying waste the tempting display of edibles the evening was taken up with games, the most exciting of which was a charade contest between Au Fait-Varsity and Der Zeitgeist-Smith societies represented. Last but not least was the Virginia Reel, which even Brick Graham enjoyed. An early hour is recorded as the return on account of a game the following evening. Mr. Hyre, Miss Webster, Mr. Main and Miss Waters chaperoned.

A large crowd on January 23 taxed the capacity of the High School gym to such an extent as to fill the stand and encroach upon the playing floor, saw the two C. H. S. teams demonstrate that they possessed the championship caliber that has been claimed for them. Both teams completely outclassed their opponents from J. H. S., the boys winning 32-11, and the girls 33-5.
