Senior Hop The 6th annual senior hop was given january 19, at the Masonic temple by the Class of 1906. The hall was beautifully decorated with the class colors, orange and black, potted plants and greenery. The dim lights cast a mellow glow over the happy throng of dancers, and excellent music was rendered by Bakers full orchestra. Prof. and Mrs. N. B. Sloan, Mr. and Mrs. E. XY. Roe and Mr. and Mrs. XY. C. French acted as patrons and the event was one of the greatest social successes of the year. The committee were Clifford Mcliibbin, Helen Armstrong, Pearl Palmer, Florence Reck, Arthur Holly and Robert Piatt. Senior Reception The Seniors gave their annual reception to the Faculty and Freshmen in the K. O. T. M. hall on the evening of October 6. The rooms were prettily decorated with palms and cut flowers. A new feature of the event was the invitation extended to the parents of the Freshmen which was re- sponded to by a large number, affording them a pleasant opportunity to meet the faculty. The reception began at 7:30, the committee and faculty receiving. Shadow pictures given by some of the Seniors added greatly to the interest of the evening. At Q o'clock after the reception proper, dancing began, while games were provided in the parlors and lasted until twelve.

The Annual Junior Party On the night of March QS, IQOO, the annual Junior party took place at Assembly Hall. The hall was decorated by the noble efforts of several industrious juniors in the Class colors, purple and gold, and a bank of palms and ferns screened the orchestra from general view. Mr. and Mrs. Sterling and Mr. and Mrs. Sloan chaperoned the company. Owing to the absence of so many of the teachers from town, only Miss WYhite and Miss YYilbur were present. Promptly at nine the dancing was opened by the grand march led by Mr. and Mrs. Sloan, after which it continued until two. For those who did not dance, games were provided and be- tween the dances, punch and wafers were served, varied by marsh mal- lows, roasted at the fire place. About 50 couples, consisting of those who are in the class or who had entered with it, attended the party, and as they all declared, it was one of the happiest events of the year. 'O7 Junior Ex.
