The first Senior party of the year '21 was held at Clara Taylor's home on Thursday evening, Oct. 13. Nearly every member of the Senior class was present, also Miss Bunt, Miss Johnson, Mr. Moore and Mr. Black. A pot luck supper was served, along with dough- nuts, cider and pop-corn. The first Junior party was pulled off at Ruth Garnant's. The weather was not in- viting for such an event, but nearly every Junior and an invited friend appeared on the scene November 11. The following night the Seniors had another party at Mr. Knowlton's. Margery Bradford acted as hostess. Next on the program appears the Sophomores. The first Sophomore party was held at the home of Mable Mills. They were chaperoned by the class advisor, Mr. Klepinger. The evening was spent in playing games, music and dancing. Light refreshments were served, and a pleasant time was enjoyed by all. September 27, the Freshmen, last but not least, held their party at the home of Lola Williams. Although all their number was not present, they enjoyed a lovely time. Refreshments were ice-cream and cake. Miss Thompson, Miss Fulkerson, Miss Cooley and Miss Johnson were the guests of honor. The Seniors ushered in the New Year with a skating party. The ice was covered with snow and it was a late hour when they started to skate, but a goodly number was present, and they were treated, to buns, weiners and cocoa at the Domestic Science room.

Dashing through the snow, in a one-horse open sleigh only it was a large Dodge truck that took the Seniors to the home of Irene Poyer. A most enjoyable time was enjoyed by all that attended. Mr. and Mrs. Moore acted as chaperons. A supper was served which was put on by the Refreshment committee, Daisy Bullard and Marion Henry. According to a recent ruling all parties must be dated a week ahead of time, and the class advisor must censor all of them. But we didn 't hear Mr. Moore 's confession about his party until he came up missing a few days before Christmas vacation. But thanks to the newspapers we soon learned that nothing serious had happened, only that Mr. Moore had been tangled in the threads of Matrimony. A number of Mr. Moore's Bible Class surprised him at his new home soon after his return to Eaton Rapids. The evening was spent in an enjoyable way. N Q If C15 5 Page Twenty-Two
