. credit to Lewis 1-Iall's reputation for good things to eat. After return- ing to the drawing room, music and games were continued until the guests discovered that the hour was late and their departure necessary. The comments made by the guests proved to the hostess, Mrs. Baker. and her assistants, that the evening had been a success and it also proved that the masculine element is a superfluous quantity when the Normal girls determine to have a good time without them. Qtbletic Qfbening The gymnasium was a scene of rollicking merriment among the faculty and students, Friday evening Mrch 10, when indoor sports were the merry amusements. The evening was begun with a gay grand march, led by Mrs. Baker and Mr. 'Wooster, in which charming caps of purple and white were dropped from the running track above, and were secured by the guests to adorn their hair. The march ended in an indoor baseball game between the men and women students, which was followed by a contest between a picked team from the faculty and students. Other amusements consisted of yacht racing, potato racing. serpentine racing and several fothcrs, boxing and a number of contests among various picked teams. The evening ended with dancing. Re- freshing punch and cake were served. wlasbingtonk Eirtbhap Reception A very pretty reception was given to faculty and students, at Lewis iiall, February 22. Those receiving were. Mrs. Baker, Miss Clarke, l-'resident and M1's. G. H. Black, Mr- and Mrs. Herbert Fowler, Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Clarke, Mr. and Mrs. E. S. Wooster. During the hours of the reception a charming program was given, with Miss Pauline Rider in several pretty songs and dances, Miss lVilde in a num- ber of winning songs, Miss Le Quime and Miss McCann at the piano in a competent manner. The rooms were flower-filled with jonquils. narcissi, freisias and ferns. The guests were served in the dining room where the lights were softly shaded in red, and -red-shaded tapers burned on the tables. The refreshments carried out the colonial color scheme most temptingly and daintily with red and white ices, blue mints and tiny cakes cut in the form of hatchets. One of the distinctive features of the afternoon's adherence to things colonial was the students' reception committee composed of sixteen young ladies in colonial costume. The UH. of il. Glee Qtluh The appearance of the University of Idaho Glee Club at the Temple theatre Friday, February the twenty-fifth, was one of the pleasantest social events of the season. Those who were fortunate enough to at- tend the concert are happily praising in highest terms the program which

took a lively part in the games, music and story telling. The students took their departure feeling that they had formed another linkof friend- ship which would bind together more firmly the students and faculty of the Lewiston State Normal School- i ' Zin Qthening with mr. anh mrs. Qhshurn How many tim.es do we say, Oh, if we could only do something different. On the evening of November the twelfth, Mr. ancl Mrs. Osborn made it possible for about twenty Normal students to gratify this common wish. The evening's events made up a mock Track meet, and each phase had been admirably planned. Equal sides were desig- nated by means of pink 'and green paper caps, and the Normal spirit and loyalty stood the participants in good stead. Before the contests took place, both groups enjoyed a c'omic film, shown in the Normal auditorium. Afterwa-rd all returned to the home of the host and hostess. The numerous contests the program afforded were lively, and excite- ment waxed high, as the scores of the Pinks and Greens arose and fell. The last contest decided in favfor of the Pinks, and the Greens paid the penalty by assisting in serving the refreshments. The world puts a premium upon originality, even in entertaining, and none appreciated that fact more than did this jolly party of students. The lewis 191111 Eames Lewis Hall was the scene of much merriment on four successive evenings, one each quarter, when there were pretty dancing parties, given for the girls on the campus, who enjoyed dancing- Before each dancing party, there were exciting meetings held, at which time the girls drew slips for the next dance. If luck was against them the First time, they felt confident that at some other time they would be success- ful. About the same young men attended each dance, but the receiving line was made up of different girls each time. The program consisted of many of the late dances and various cotillion dances which offered a variety. For a couple of hours during the evening delicious refresh- ments were served in the dining room, which was artistically decorated. JRun-?IBanting iBattp Those who did not come to the Lewis I-lall party, March the thirty- first, missed one of the most delightful homey evenings spent at Lewis Hall this year. Pleasant, animated conversation was carried on until all the guests arrived and then the games began. Nothing was needed to break the ice,', for there was none to break. The playing of games, for which appropriate and humorous prizes were given, continued until refreshments were served. The girls select-ed partners and descended to the dining room, where they were greeted by refreslnnents which did

they heard. The theatre was most satisfactorily filled and it was as planned, a school festival night. At the close of the program, the members of the Glee Club were charmingly entertained at Lewis I-Iall, where the remainder of the evening was spent in dancing and a dainty supper was served. ' Bimafikem ielap Friday, February 18, the Science Club entertained at the Gymnasium. 'I he program was a unique and entertaining dramatized illustration of the evolution of man. Cleverly given tableaux displayed a llfifrf l1iSt0Fy in each branch of science. Instructive, but also interspersed w'ith humorous scenes, the entertainment was most enjoyable. Qllampus Bay Monday, April the third, was Campus clay. Eight-thirty in the morning found all students ready for work with their farm implements over their shoulders. There were ten corporals with their army of workers. Some made flower gardens, planted shrubs and trees, while others raked and cleaned. All worked with the ultimate end in view of beautifying the campus. At the end of the day's work a great im- provement could be seen- At noon there was a quick response to the lunch bell. The Domestic Science girls had been busy all mornin'f. preparing a tasty meal for the hungry workers. VVork was resumed again for a couple of hours after lunch and then the rest of the after- .n'oon was spent in games and sports. All is well that enils well. Campus day ended well with a dance at the Gymnasium, in the evening. All went home declaring it had been a most successful and pleasurable holiday- ' Eluniur Rrumenahe The climax of the social events of the school year was reached on the evening of May fifth, when the junior promenade took place at the Gymnasium. It was a beautiful rainbow dancing' party, and the pot of gold was found in the happiness of the guests. From a large ring, the rainbow colors radiated to the running track balcony, forming' an attractive ceiling. In the center' of the room stood a May Pole adorned with therainbow 'groupings of ribbons to correspond with those of the ceiling. The walls were hung with dark,'g'.reen paper, and profusely draped with lavender lilacs. llrilliant music was furnished by l-lealey's seven piece orchestra, which supplied a great measure of the evening's success. The orchestra was enclosed within a pretty lattice. covered with lilacs, and the refreshment booth was also of lilac covered lattice work. Wicker chairs, davenports, and tables were artistically placed for resting. The patrons and patronesses for the evening were: Messrs and Mesdames George H- Black, 'Earl Crum, C. L.'Clarke, F. W. Simmonds, Miss Redfield and Mrs. Baker. ' '
