1' H 1-: n AV 1 N o I s Parties The first party, an initiation party, was given by the Sophomores, September 19th. Each Freshman was blind- folded and taken upstairs. On the way they were treated to a flour and water bath, and then hurried to the crazy house. At this point they were made to shake hands with a wet glove, ice was rubbed on their necks and they were tapped generously with a basket ball. From there they were taken to see tlfle doctor, who informed them that they were all right, but when pricked with a pin they dis- played evidence of trouble. The next part of the experi- ence was a trip down the fire escape on a carpet. At the bottom they were received by a soft bed of straw. The initiation took nearly an hour. Refreshments were served an ten, and thus ended the first party. The Juniors gave a party October 29th. On this occasion the Sophomores were escorted to the basement one by one amid weird noises. They were liberally sprinkled with water. Vera's nervous system received a severe shock when she was led through a lane of brooms, rakes, boxes and various other obstacles. Each victim was made to take off his own blindfold, then conducted back to the first floor, thence to the second, where he visited the witch in her den. Mr. Bradley, who surprised everyone by a late arrival, was given the prize for the best costume. At ten refreshments were served consisting of the usual assortment, and party No. 2 had become history. The third party was given by the Freshmen and the Spark Plugs in honor of the Barney Googles, on Novem- ber 27th. The Barney Googles and the Spark Plugs were the opposing sides in the Country Gentleman sales contest. The losing side joined with the Freshmen in giving the party. Lunch was served at seven o'clook, and after the eats games were played. The party ended at nine- thirty. A party and program was given March 17th by the members of Forum literary society.
