After this everyone danced. The last party was held May 20. Thirty attended the supper at Monmouth Park and later several went to the show. The first sophomore party of the year went over with a bang. As it was cold weather, the party had to be held in the gym. .A scavenger hunt was participated in, but the best event of the evening was when Miss Rowland had tc propose to Mr. Hodge.
