Cheers for the foot ball team mingled with the fragrant scent of burning wood and roasting marshmallows. After the marshmallows had disappeared and the echo of the last songs and yells had died upon the night wind, the students departed, feeling a new bond of friendship, and determined, like the marshmallows, to stick together. if L2 22 WALK-OUTH On VVednesday afternoon, September 15, the annual Y. VV. VValk-Out took place. When the merry crowd reached a neighboring orchard, each new girl had walked with each old girl, and all were ready to enjoy the marshmallow roast. As the sinking sun brightened the western sky, the girls, singing college songs, wended their way townward and there was a general feeling that the Y. VV. C. A. was one of the worthwhile organizations of the school. - 95 R! 321 THE Y. RECEPTION There is nothing quite so successful as an ice-breaker as the annual Y. M. C. A. and Y. YV. C. A. joint reception. This year it was held at Nessie Blodgett Hall, Friday evening, September 18. The reception room was appropriately decorated with autumn flowers and red and blue triangles. First came the grand march, and then games, contests, songs, and frequent visits to the frappe bowl furnished diversion for the remainder of the evening. The reception was a success, and everyone departed with good will toward the Y. M. and Y. W. C. A. 12 95 as Y. M. STAG PARTY At the beginning of the school year the Y. M. held a stag party in a nearby grove. Here we gathered about the fire and toasted marshmallows. A goodly sup- ply of delicious apples helped out the repast. After the feast short speeches were given by Prof. Watson, Coach Kirby and several of the students. All of the speeches were well received and dealt with the bright outlook of the Y. M. C. A. for the coming year. No doubt even in this seemingly small event of the year many of those present left for home with a greater determination to fight the battle of life squarely. Surely every one received inspiration as the aims of the triangle were placed before them. -The Graphic W '???EI1f-SQQEFFZ l7g:Qf5 iff?-2535133 Tri ! 2t4' f50f'E'5EiEQi:Xi5:3i One Hundred Twenty

Uhr Qlnllrgr 16211 ' Oh, College Bell, you know so well The story that the ages tell, The passing years have onward rolled And you have all their glory tolled. For you have seen the stately form Of Hedding, braving every storm, And though she struggled on alone, Still no despair was in your tone. Then you have heard the joyful sound Of youths and maidens gathering 'round, That truest wisdom they might learn While hope within their hearts did burn. When Hedding's boys did victiries bring, Your clearest tones for them did ring. When lovers oier the campus strayed, 'Twas only then you silent stayed. When human hearts were filled with pride Then you, old bell, were set aside. And there you stood so grim and llone, No more you graced a royal throne. But boys are boys where'er they he And one dark night you shared their glee. So, with the tables, cans, and all, You gazed upon the ladies, hall. While curious folks were gathered 'round, Throughout the day your mournful sound Told all abroad your tale of woe And made the world your sadness know. Then came a man to be your friend, A helping hand he wished to lend, At his command you rode in state, VVhile bore the boys your pond'rous weight Your home is now a peaceful hall, And on you now no harm may fallg But though no more you secrets tell, We'll not forget you, College Bell. 1' 41553, 5--7' if l r!-flf? -- fi One Hundred Nineteen

In the receiving line were Mr. Keithley, Col- lege Marshal, Dean Whitted, Dr. Greene, Dean Benfield, and other faculty members. Music by the Hedding Orchestra delighted the small groups gathered here and there in the artistically decorated rooms. Dainty refreshments were served in the dining room.

I ll I 32249: HALLOVVE'EN PARTY The men of the College entertained the girls at a hard times party in the Gymnasium on Saturday evening, October 30. The old-fashioned farm atmosphere was created by the rail fence, corn shocks, the pumpkins, autumn leaves, and rabbits. The guests who had come attired in aprons immediately made themselves at home and peals of real laughter rang out as the many games were played. Partners were chosen in an original way, and refreshments of pumpkin pie, pickles, apples, dough- nuts and coffee were served from the farm house. The girls' appreciation of the even- ing was shown in their departing cheers for the hosts. 5229595 BASKET BALL DINNER One of the most enjoyable evenings of the whole season, for the team especially, was the dinner given for the basket ball veterans March 8, by Prof. and Mrs. C. C. Smith at their pleasant home on North Monroe Street. Eleven very appreciative men, including the coach, partook of chicken pie, mashed potatoes, gravy, brown and white bread, Waldorf salad, ice cream, cake and coffee. The place cards, basket ball shaped, were very unique. Ruth Moore, Emma Newman and VVendal Smith assisted by serving. After the dinner, the remainder of the evening was spent in telling stor- ies around a cheery fire-place. All together, boys, nine Rahs for the Smiths! 932 92 SP5 Y. VV. GIRLS TO TOWN GIRLS The Y. VV. girls entertained a number of town girls on Monday evening, Feb- ruary 28. The girls soon became acquainted by taking part in the exciting games and contests held in the gymnasium. Then each Y. W. girl escorted a guest to Nessie Blodgett Hall where refreshments of ice cream, cake, and cocoa were served. After a tour of the dormitory, and a sing, the guests departed giving cheers for the Y. VV. The Y. VV. girls felt that this had indeed been one of the best parties of the year. 3262- ?QQ'A?G QT f f .717 f'?'il:.?:f7Mfi3i2EQ if One Hundred Twenty-one
