Artistic red and white decorations had changed the gymnasium into a place of beauty. The guests were ushered into the improvised reception room, where various valentine contests were held, and where, especially, great skill in making valentines was shown. After gaining partners by the bow and arrow method, the guests were allowed to proceed to the candle-lighted refreshment room, where ice cream hearts and dainty heart-shaped cakes were served. The guests departed giving a hearty cheer for the girls. 22 Q Z FOOT BALL MEN ENTERTAINED Friday evening, January 14, was the time, and the home of Dr. and Mrs. Greene. the place. Twelve husky gridiron artists, comparatively fresh from training table atrocities, were the guests of Dr. and Mrs. Greene at the aforementioned time and place, and to say that they were well cared for during the evening is a weak way to put it. Men's wives was the first morsel for thought and the squad was immediately plunged into a state of mental turmoil in an effort to provide each listed dignitary with a suitable helpmeet. This done, all proceeded to the dining room where the real test Qthat of capacityj was made. The athletes proved to be good ball' players in that it took an awful lot to make them back away from the plate. Needless to say, the drawing force of the dining room was a delicious four-course dinner of ample proportions. Everything connected with the evenings entertainment was well done, and the foot ball men unanimously recommended Dr. and Mrs. Green as entertainers of the first magnitude. 321495 FACULTY DINNER Miss Beniield, Miss Morrissey, and Miss Robb very pleasantly entertained the faculty at a six o'clock Thanksgiving dinner in Nessie Blodgett Hall. In the dining room the tables had been artistically arranged and a large moss-covered rock in the center made a beautiful as well as a historic setting. Four Puritan maidens+Dor- othy Whitted, Martha Davis, Rhoda Edmunds, and Ruth McMillan-served the fol- lowing menu: Fruit Cocktail Baked Chicken Mashed Potatoes Gravy Dressing Cranberry Jelly Hot Rolls Nuts in Shells VValdorf Salad in Shells VVafers Ice Cream Turkeys Angel Food Cake Coffee Mints The guests then return to the reception room where musical entertainment was furnished by Prof. and Mrs. Marcy. f 'Til' -iff wif?-e2-.'-eFf1 f'4.'e -.'--jf-'FEI 37? f Zfffefeyii511711-iagieftfil5:fi3,-fs:- One Hundred Twenty-two

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.
