Snrial We began our fun this year by having a Box and Pie So- cial in the Gymnasium, which proved to be a success, both from the financial view and in entertainment. As there were quite a number of bashful QD Freshmen that had not found their places the Sophomores, juniors and Seniors endeavored to remedy that by a party. We believe the Freshies will not forget The Legond of Sleepy Hollow and The Christmas Carol because they had the opportunity to witness the ghostly parts and even touch parts ol a certain character which they did without any comment. Then comes Halloween with all its gay colors. Perhaps the Old Gym never shown forth in such glory as it did then. There was no end of variety of costumes from the Queen with costume trimmed in tinsel and gold to the Hobo with his flat derby hat and much too short coat. Of course the Clown, Charley Chaplin, Uncle Tom and ghosts. Yes, any number, and all equally ghostly. Many games were played and future of many revealed by a skilled fortune teller and refreshments served consisting of ginger cake, dough nuts, coffee, popcorn and apples. About midnight the goblins disappeared. The girls of the school availed themselves of the privileges of Leap Year, and a Leap Year party was held February 27. Many of the girls were successful in attaining their object. To those who were not so fortunate we wish them success in the year l924. Many enjoyable games, suited to the occasion, were played and refreshments, jello, sandwiches, and cake were served. Here's to the social life in future years of E. R. V. S. Thirly-three

Arhnr Bag On April l0th E. R. V. S. observed Arbor Day in a beautifying and interesting way. The aftemoon session of school was omitted and each class gathered in their little groups for the purpose of planting a Class Tree. The Senior class planted their tree in front of the Academic building. The Juniors by the Dormitory, the Sophomores by the Agricultural building, and lastly the Freshies, who were about to place the branches of the tree in the ground, but were corrected by the Agricul- ture professor, who instructed them in the good and right way have planted their living monument in a very picturesque place. V After the Class Trees were dedicated and all the ceremonies over, everybody pitched in and with the fac- ulty as bosses planted about fifty, ash, spruce and pine trees on the southwest end of the campus. As a result of our labor we will have a beautiful grove, in which our descendants may sit and read of how it was planted and for what purpose. Thirty-four
