Social After attending the basketball game between the girls of Jefferson and C. H. S. girls on Friday evening, January 22d, a jolly bunch of Juniors and dignified Seniors “piled” on a hayrack and set out for the old spring floor at Farnham. After plodding through the mud they finally reached their destination at about 10 o’clock. The girls prepared a delicious supper, and after the “eats” were devoured the fun was started in earnest. The Virginia Reel was the main feature of the evening. As there was no orchestra, music was furnished by several hoys of great musical (?) talent. When Saturday morning began to dawn the happy hunch started on their homeward way, declaring the party had been the best ever. W$t Uetmte The second tryout for the big debate between Conneaut, Geneva and Painesvillc High Schools was held Friday afternoon, February 4th, in the upper class societies.

Smith and Varsity, exchanged their negative teams, and the girls’ societies, the Au Fait and Der Zeitgeist, also exchanged negative teams. In the girls’ societies both negatives won. The individuals chosen for the next debate, from Der Zeitgeist were Anna Cool and Ruth Cook, affirmative, Doris Griffey and Ada Eighmy, negative; from the Au Fait Thelma Manville, negative, and Edna MacDonald, affirmative.
