26 THE MOUNTAINEER Social Notes The Hallowe’en Party was a great success. Many beautiful and bewitching costumes were worn and delicious refreshments were served. All of the Literary Society members were present. The Box Supper, given during the Christmas holidays, was also 7 a success, both socially and financially. Many outsiders were present and brought boxes. The Valentine party was voted delightful by all present. Every one wore fancy costumes and masks. This Social affair was a Val¬ entine-Leap-Y ear-Masquerade party! In April a social was given in honor of the debaters in the trian¬ gular debate. All the Society members were present, and all had a very nice time. Jokes The four bright lights of the tenth grade are; May Belle Gil- reath, Ruth Williams, Gaither Briggs, and Albert Dixon. They owe their brightness, not so much to what is in their heads, as to that which covers them. —0. M. F.
