fully watched from the library windows the felling: of that grand old oak which had horne our banner, did these efforts cease. ‘The Instantaneous Concert.’ the dinner to several men interested in the High School, the High School Tea and the ( ar- negic Technical Concert are other great successes which we must not neglect to mention. All these things ami numerous others which space and modesty prevent us from relating we submit for our recommendation The gray-bearded man returned the scroll smiling a wel- come, then opened wide the gate, saying: “Enter most worthy class of 1913.” SOCIAL SYNOPSIS OF SENIOR YEAR Section A of the Senior Domestic Science class entertained at dinner. Thursday evening. January 23. at six o clock, in the dining room of the school. A color scheme of pink and white was effectively carried out. The center piece was a large bunch of pink roses, ami the electric lights were covered by pretty shades, made by members of the class. On the carefully ar- ranged table were pink shaded candles, ami tin decorations were made complete by the place-cards, which had been painted especially for the occasion by two members of the class. A very tempting menu was prepared and served by the girls under Miss Dean’s supervision. The menu was: Cream of tomato woup Wafeni Stcwnl chicken Gravy Mashed potatoes Pea- in timhle ease Baca Hoped oyster Salted almond Bakin powder biscuit Waldorf wind Cheese straws Coffee Charlotte Russe Mints Covers were laid for Messrs.

Friday, November 8th, 1912 The Senior Class gave a novel entertainment for the Fresh- men as an initiation into the High School. It was in the form of school with teachers (just Seniors, dear reader). in different rooms and gongs with change of classes, which is fas you prob- ably know), one of the greatest differences between grade school and high school. Besides the science. Latin, music and other similar rooms, there was a room labeled ‘.‘Chapel” with Mr. Hosier (!) speaking, and a singer ami speaker, a “ Farewell to Childishness.” an “Entrance Examination” room, a “ Hides. ” an “Anticipation.” while the last but not least de- partment was “Joys,” or in other words, refreshment room. Monday, February 3d. 1913 A rather unique kind of entertainment or show was given l,v the Senior Class which was called an “ Instantaneous Con- cert.” To clear up all doubt as to the name (for you must know, dear reader, that there are those who actually accuse the class of planning this ” Instantaneous Concert” for almost a year). I will say that we did plan for almost that length of time for something, but what we gave was entirely different from anything we had planned and was given in less than a week from the time it was thought of. It was divided into two parts, the first being given only by boys, who gave jokes and songs; the second half was a short play in two acts, “Little Women.” The crowd was small on account of the had weather. Wednesday. March 19th. 1913 The Musical Clubs from the Carnegie Technical College in Pittsburgh, composed of the Glee Clubs and Mandolins and Guitars, were here under the auspices of the Senior Class. The music was excellent, and showed good training. Mrs. ( . L. Heed gave a reception after the concert for the hoys, the class and the faculty. Section Two of the Domestic Science Class entertained on Thursday. February 6th, 1913, the executive officere of the Woman’s Club at a one o’clock luncheon. The dining room was daintily decorated, a color scheme of pink and green being carried out. Covers were laid for sixteen and dainty sweet-pea place cards were used. The following menu was served: Grape Fruit Cocktail I {-Million Wafers Olive Almonds Chicken u la creme In llmble case French potatoes Early June m nm Tomato Surprise Parker House rolls Coffee Charlotte Russc Mint With the aid of Miss Dean the luncheon was quite a success.
