The Faculty-East Game N Friday, March tlth, the most unique game 01' the slason was played at O selmul,ethat 0f the Students vs. Faculty. The huge family of East was gathered in the gym for one 01' the most spectacular events ever held here. Imagine the surprised shunts amt nnsnmn'essetl laughter from the students at seeing their dignified instructors emne into the gym all dressed up in ttheadaehe bandeaux, long dangling earrings. and very colorful banttanas. To see Miss Shumal'tl, with a huge plume stuck in her hair, mine prancing in with Miss llnpson. who was intlustriuusly pmvtlering her nose before a large mirror in her vanity ease. was tun much for the shocked students. The gym elesely rivaled Hilarity llall when the Faculty players came on. Mr. Peoples was dressed in overalls, jacket, and straw hat. The costume of Mr. Webster was very beemning to one of his nature, and that 01' Mr. Router very lininggsu mueh so that he had a hard time getting out of it in time to play the game. The bit of laughter -ausetl by the faculty was slit'irt-livetl in comparison with what followed. T0 the st 'ains 0f Chopiifs Hanetal March? came the procession of students carrying Mr. Penplets eotiin. George, Stey'artl made an admirable preacher, amt his eulogy 0f ttWall Peeps't y'as sitle-sptitting. ttWaltts Widow deserves emmnemtaliun as a pantomime actor. Those were some t-ai's ttshe shed. We almost thought we werentt going to have a game, when some of the t'aehers protested against letting their l'iail, studious pupils play against such rough players as the faenlty of East. And when Charlie Batter read a telegram signed by Warren G. Harding announcing the ineligibility of Mr. Peoples because he was only an assistant principal instead 01' a teacher, we thought everything was all off. The faenlty t'ollltltfl play without Mr. Peoples, because he was their star forward. There was quite a niix-up, too, when it was fonml that Coach VValke's wife had not given him permission to play. However, they linally settled all disputes and decided to play the game, and therets where the students showed their superiority. ttTiIne out was called more than once so the faculty team could gets its breath. The students played such a fast and furious game that the faculty didnlt stand a show. Even the seore-keepers eouldnlt keep up with the number of baskets made by our illustrious players. The seure should have been about 74 to 20 but the score hoard only registered 42 to 26 for the students. The outstanding flatures 0f the game were the songs sung by faculty headed. by Miss Grove, and the Dance. of the Two Flat Irons by Dean King. And we must not forget Miss Stoehr, resplendent in George Steward's orange tTiger Shirt. The whole progtain y'as wett-planned weeks ahead of time, and offered the best opportunities for a closer intimacy between students and faculty of which iaeh and all of us took the best ad 'antage.

The Kalidasa Stunt Party N November twenty-seeontl each Kalidasa member brought a junior girl to O the famous ttstuntt; party, which was given in order to arouse the interest of the juniors, who are to be the members next year. The program was arranged very cleverly. The scene represented a Friday afternoon entertainment in a little country school house, where all the pupils ttshowed off before their mothers. In this case the seniors were the young scholars and the juniors were the audience. Margaret Wentzel ably interpreted the part of the little old maid school teacher, much to th - amusement of all those present. Mary Vollrath was the ubaby ot' the class and was incessantly getting in the way of the teacher. A clever song of the sad story of Romeo and Juliet was sung by Ruth Reeves and Virginia Heuket. followed by many other interesting little. acts and jokes. The climax of the afternoon y'as reached when baskets of 'tall day suckersty were brought in. School was tinally dismissed and the infantile seniors again donned their dignity and saunterett home, hoping that the juniors had enjoyed the afternoon as much as their hostesses had. And with each one, whether junior or senior, went a feeling of gratitude for the privilege of attending dear old East High. instead of a itlittle. red school house on a hill. boats titt-tFUtth. A-D Party AST Highk social season was ushered in by the senior girls when they gave E their annual party for the freshmen girls on October 13, 1922. And it was quite a party. But why go into detail about it? If you were there you know what a good time you had, and, if you werentt, every one told you what you missed;ebut just a word about the entertainment. All the senior girls went tirst to the auditorium where they each met their three freshmen tttittle sisters? A mock trial was held, and some of the more frivolous Ht'reshies, accused of different offenses during the year, were tried. To see dignified Ruth Reeves as judge of the Supreme Court questioning these almost petrified freshmen y'as enough entertainment in itself. The greater part of the afternoon was given over to dancing in the girls gymnasium. And how they danced! Alt, old and young, tall and tiny, seemed to enjoy it thoroughly-wand, of course, that was the point of this Hget acquainted party. Bta'r'rr MU LLIKIN. The B-A Party EVER before in the history of East High has the senior class enjoyed a party N as much as the one which the juniors gave in their honor, on the last Thurs- day in April. The gymnasium vas draped with orange and black bunting together with many novel decorations in the eorners and stair 'ays, The junior committee was very considerate in Choosing its music, and so in order that every B and A grader would be able to participate in the festivities, an orchestra led by Jimmy Tull was secured from the University of Cincinnati. It seemed as if nothing had been forgotten; some played games, others danced, and the teachers had their waltzes, but there were refreshments for everyone. We may say without any hesitation that this has marked a precedent for the many other classes whieh will pass through Old Easlf, 129

The menu was exceptionally good 21ml, according to the boys, was made doubly so because the girls served it. The. decorations and musie by the jazz band added a most festive atmosphere to the affair and were reminders of the holiday season.

Tower Y Tea lDST hanging Wisteria, the enthusiastic Tower Y girls entertained the M teachers at a tea on Monday, March 26. Just as the Chinese valets announce the callers to their hostesses, so the lengthy names of the teachers were tlrawled in regular Chinese fashion by none other than the Misses Blanche Grant and Betty Reinhart, Betty being garbed in a Chinese costume of black silk. em- broidered with butterflies. The President, Mildred Brown, welcomed the teachers, after which Miss Davison, our faculty adviser, spoke of the importance of the Tower Y in the school, and how such an organization builds the character and enriches the lives of the girls in it.
