Ep,,.... ...HEI mo 5. Ep.....,y ...nm , E-Zvnrieig The many parties, teas and receptions held during the year bear witness to the fact that our social life has not been neglected. The outstanding functions were the Hallowe'en party, the Initiation party and the Senior-junior party. ln addi- tion to these the classes held several parties. The Sophomores held a Christmas party in the school auditorium. They were also entertained in the Erickson and the llaas homes. The Freshies held their parties in the homes of Adolph Moeller and Edith Holtz. There was a general community reception in the auditorium for the teachers at the beginning of the year. The Home Economics girls banqueted the members of the Board of Education and their wives. They also served an alternoon tea in honor of their mothers. :B llnitiatinn liartg II T' 'T ' j Early in the Grst semester the Sophomores had a bright idea. The upper class- men had proved themselves to be rather tame and lifeless during the previous year by failing to initiate the said Sophs into full membership in the high school. The Sophs would show up these unsophisticated upper classmen and incidentally have a little excitement for themselves by initiating the Freshies. Plans were carefully laid for a most mysterious program of initiation stunts. However, the Sophs were reckoning with an unknown quantity in the form of a well organized and thor- oughly aroused body of upper classmen. When the fatal evening arrived the Sophs were in their places and the Freshies began timidly to arrive. When all had ar- rived and festivities were about to begin, something happened outside. There was a stampede at the door and the upper classmen arrived in full force and proceeded to take charge of the program. After the Sophs had decided to make the most of an embarrassing situation and take their medicine gracefully, the whole crowd wended its way to the dining room where all enjoyed a hearty supper. The Sophs decided that things are not always what they seem. 31-Iallnwzfen Hartg The llallowe'en party was an all-school affair. The usual games and stunts con- stituted the evening's entertainment, after which light refreshments were served. Everyone seemed to have a good time. No serious damage was done to property. 'Sminr lllalentirw lpartg A Senior Valentine party was held at the home of Lovilla lleckroth. The even- ing was spent in playing games and in conversation. Each member was instructed to bring valentines to put in a valentine box, which was opened during the evening. An elaborate luncheon was served. The Senior Orchestra played several selections. Seninr-,lluninr 18:11-tg On the evening of April first the Seniors entertained the juniors at the annual spring party. Several sttlnts were staged, the most exciting being a sham battle with large rubber balls from the kindergarten as ammunition. Faculty and stu- dents alike participated. Confusion and disorder prevailed. Desertions were the order of the day. Treason was common on both sides. A man's worst enemies were those of his own army. After the smoke of battle had cleared and the am- munition had mysteriously disappeared, a truce was declared in order that the wounded might be made presentable for mess and that the missing might be located.

Ey..........................,........El 5. Ep...................................El Members of the Senior Class, assisted by Miss Gaston, the Home Economics teacher, strengthened the truce by impartially serving both, sides a delicious four- course supper. Some of the dainties would hardly pass inspection by the Pure Food inspectors, but on the whole it was a very palatable repast. Toasts were given by Lovilla Heckroth and Maurine Ross, the presidents of the classes, and by members of the Faculty, after which all went home or elsewhere, voting this the best party ever. ,Zjuniur-Seninr Banquet, 1922 The junior-Senior Banquet this year will be held in the H.
