Mrs. Foster consented to our having a Halloween Party at her home in which several of the Sei:- iors and 'luniors participated. We returned to town in a snow storm early in the morning. Later in the year we were enter- tained at Cocketts The main feature of this party was the be- cotniag and ingenious masflue of two of our most clever mem- bers. .Xs Sophomores we applied ourselves diligently to our studies. .Xs a result. we had only one party during the year. 'l is was held at Yera Coles country home. On account of the weather and other difficulties. there was a small attendancei Nevertheless, games moved merrily.

Owing to the confusion of games, none 'oticed that the light in the front room had mysteriously gone out and that six or eight of our members were missing from our group.

The Seniors and Faculty were banqueted in the basement of the Presbyterian church, which was very prettily decorated iti green and white, the Senior colors, and with yellow and white roses. After partaking of the sumptuous dinner. wt,- heartilv enjoyed the several responses to toasts. XYe then went to the I. 0. O.

Nevertheless, we found time to spend an evening at Maurice llcitiowairs home. .-Xt and a party was given in her honor at Bret Cfoclcett's. XYe were greatly amused 5 when it fell to Dean Flagg to hold down the much desired posi- so to watch Bret try to one-step.
