1 THE STAFF AT HOME The night of November 14, 19335, is not to be soon forgotten, for was it not one of the most outstanding of the year-the night the staff entertained us. lYith mingled feelings of anticipation. timidity at passing the lengthy reception line and restraint, we entered by the stately front doorway. Un emerging from the cloak-rooms, alter carefully labelling ourselves so that more acquaintances might be made during the evening, repressions were dropped and replaced by amazement as we were handed a bag of beans. XX'hen some had managed to fill their bags but most had exhausted their supply, we began to make our way toward the auditorium which was gaily adorned with dainty floral decorations and school colours. Here we learned reasons for our timidity to be entirely unfounded as we were kindly and graciously greeted by Dr. and Nlrs. Klchlillan, the Masters and their wives. ' After Dr. McMillan, as chairman, had welcomed us, we enjoyed a very delightful programme, at one time being fascinated by the selections beauti- fully rendered by boy choristers from Klr-. Stares' choir and by the piano solos, and at another, spellbound by the mysterious Mr. Darby. The programme concluded, we directed our paths to one of the several centres of entertainment, some indulging in bridge, others finding much en- tertainment in progressive croquinole, and still others choosing to match their wits in the new-fashioned spelling match under Mr. l.ockett's leader- ship and then participate in folk-dancing, directed by Mr. Burns. Delicious refreshments were served in the auditorium at the close of the games, at which time also the winners of the competitions were awarded prizes. The evening. measuring up to, and far beyond our anticipation, was concluded by the singing of the National Anthem. BETTY RRKERRACHER. 95:4-. 5 Q CONGRATULATIONS!

AFTERNOON PARTIES Since man is a social being. and youth is a very friendly period in his life, it is quite fitting that this year at Normal has been one brimming over with social activities. One of the really big events of the year was the Christmas party. It was held on December lil, in the auditorium which was gay with a beauti- ful Christmas tree and glowing fire-place. At our first glimpse at the plat- form, we knew something was to happen: we felt a little tingle of excite- ment lto put it mildlyl when it became apparent that we were really going to have a visit from old St. Nick himself. That esteemed gentleman, Mr. liotari. after making a short speech in his own jolly way, presented each of us with a gift. Little -loan Partridge was the first to receive her stocking. Even the masters seemed to remember their childhood and were ve1'y eager to display their toys and story books. Following this, we all retired to the library where dainty refreshments were served. Later. many proceeded to the Manual Training room where games were played or to the gymnasium where they tripped the light fan- tastic to the lively music of the School orchestra. There was much fun and gaiety throughout the afternoon, and judging by the happy expressions on the faces of the students. not to mention those of the staff. everyone had a very pleasant time. Throughout the year many afternoon parties were held after four, and on those days the sound of revelry and merry laughter resounded through- out the old halls. Music was provided by the school orchestra for our ac- tivities in the gymnasium. How quickly the year has passed! Yet the memories of the many happy meetings together will not soon be forgotten, but will linger on as reminders of the good times at Normal. .IANET rosriiiz. OUR GARDEN PARTY Long will we cherish the memory of that glorious autumn afternoon of September 25 at llamilton Normal School. lt was on that dav Dr. Mc- Millan dismissed the school at three o'clock in order that we might enjoy a social hour on the lawn. The Hamilton students acted as hostsiand hostes- ses. Our joys of anticipation were indeed fulfilled as we enjoyed the oppor- tunity of becoming acquainted not only with our fellow students but with members of our staff and their wives. The Hamilton students wore gold cards with their names thereon: there were green cards for the otlqgl-5, Ngijngs were more deeply and enjoyably impressed through the medium of a few lively games capably supervised by the Misses Davidson and other Hamilton students. After a short musical progremme by our male quartette-Messrs. Cowley, XYallaee. Addison. H 'll' 7 X, Kivell-delightful refreshments were served. .Xs K tl' our garden party drew to a close and we departed with minds full of pleasant memories, we experi- w enced a feeling of friendliness to all our fellow 1' Normalites.
