' i a friendship fire. The freshmen were all given smpll canales which were lighted by larg- er ou3s. The girls then marched up the steps single file with their lighted candles as taps was played by Nancy Erehart. The initiates were told to take their candles home and to put them in their win- dows on Christmas, Nev; Years, and Easter. The officers and Miss Cage were in charge of the initiation.

The first meeting of the year was held in the early part of Dec- ember, in the auditorium, under the auspices of the Music Committee, The meeting was in the form of a mock wedding. What is today? December 19th, Oh dear, how time does fly. Where have I seen those faces before? Surely not in high school.
