Qttihititg The school year was opened by a picnic supper held at Headmaster E. Stanley Taylor's home. This picnic is an annual affair at which old students and faculty may get acquainted with new students. After a hamburger roast on the terrace, the group played games and sang songs. A delightful time was had by all. The first social event of the school year was a Hallowe'en party held at school. It was planned so that the new students would feel at home with their school friends. The motif was a Gay Nineties Hallowe'en. Each class was asked to work up a short skit which would be a kind of vaudeville entertainment. After several team games and a treasure hunt, the guests had refreshment. Each year before the close of the fall term, it has been the custom to hold an after- noon tea dance. At this time the students distribute Christmas cards to their school friends. This year the school dance was December 19th. Everyone had a very enjoyable afternoon. After the close of the fall term, during vacation, the whole high school gathered at the school and from there went caroling. The group visited parents and also invalids. At the finish of the evening, the students were guests at Headmaster and Mrs. E. Stanley Taylor's home where cocoa and cookies were served. On February 13th, the Junior class sponsored a dance for the high school. The Yale Collegians furnished music for the affair. Many prefatory parties were held and among the hostesses were Elizabeth Duncan and Dorothy Bobbe. The motif was patriotic-red, white and blue, in honor of Washington's birthday. The dance was a grand success and everyone enjoyed the evening. Page Twenty- E igbl
