Friday evening, December 19th, the members of the Senior class met at the Congregational church in anticipation of the pleasant things to follow.

A very good “lunch,” contributed by those present, met the approval of all, and greatly refreshed them after their long ride. Miss Hazel Fish and Mr. Homer Bail chaperoned the party. The Seniors say this was one of the most enjoyable experiences they have had this year, and we all hope they will have many more. PUBLIC SPEAKING.
