Trip To Piasa FTER school was dismissed for the summer months and finals forgotten, the class of ' 10 got together and picked out one rainy day in June and invited the class of ' ll to go with them to Piasa Chautauqua. The girls, of course, took the good things, and in spite of the weather, everyone had a good time. Of course we have to take into consideration that Rosa became rambunctious” and rolled down a bluff. She was not hurt, but carried home with her some of Piasa’s rich soil. Mayme Bramer had a mania for taking pictures, and although the weather was so bad, quite a number turned out good. Little Roy Huff enjoyed himself immensely by going up a bluff and sliding down. Diddy Pick and Skinny Lynch became acquainted with the keeper at the “Inn” and spent a very pleasant afternoon by the fire. And Ken- dall was on every bluff anti in every cottage of the grounds, looking for Diddy. Bessie stayed as near the lunch as possible. I don ' t know, I guess she was afraid it would get away. Anyway, it was a most successful day, and the class of ’ll could never tell in plain words how much they enjoyed it. BLANK — “A little foot never supported a great character.” 27

Social €bents Indoor Picnic and Reception WO of the most brilliant functions in the history of the class of 15)11 were the indoor picnic and the reception in honor of the class of 1910. The indoor picnic was held in the gymnasium. Much time was spent in decorating for the occasion. The gym was made to look as much like a woods as possible. Swings were hung from the branches of trees, and of course a very exciting time ensued, especially when the swings came down. A program was arranged, the special number being a piano duet by Mr. George Morrison, then a member of the faculty, and Miss Gertrude Davis, instructor of Drawing and Music. The lassies wore their ging- ham aprons and sunbonnets and the lads overalls and straw ' hats. The boys enjoyed themselves by playing leap-frog, but of course that was their privilege. A charming picnic lunch was served, soon after which everyone departed in the best of humor. The reception, which was a very formal affair, was held at the Fleischman-McX ' ary Hall, two weeks later. The decorations and re- freshments were carried out in the colors of the classes of 1910-11. A splendid program was rendered, and a most pleasant evening was spent by all. The faculty, Mr. and Mrs. Maurice Sullivan, and Mr. and Mrs. Chas. A. Uzzel, were chaperons. FROHARDT — “Isn’t love a grand old thing?” 2 j

Basket Ball Banquet On March 22nd, 1911, the Senior Class, together with the basketball team and coach, Mr. Howe, and four members of the faculty, met in the High School Gymnasium. The occasion was a banquet given by the Senior Class in honor of the boys who made our school the first in basket ball in Southern Illinois and third in the State. The merry crowd assembled in the gymnasium, which was decorated in black and red, the High School colors, where games were played and a short program was rendered. They then adjourned to the dining room, which was decorated in the Senior colors, lavender and maize, where a delightful luncheon was served. At a late hour all departed, voting the Seniors royal entertainers. L. P. 28
