Think a moment! Do you realize that the 23rd of May is drawing near? Ah, such a sad feeling seizes me as I think, No longer shall I be one of the 'happy instigators of the many social af- fairs of Liberty Union High School. As I ponder, the social events of the past term appear in the following manner: On Friday evening. Sept. 13, 1912, at the Masonic Hall the faculty and three upper classes gave a reception to the lfreshmen, their parents and former grad- uates. Mr. Otto and Miss Pearce gave interesting reeitations. Then several il- lustratcd songs were given by the upper classinen. Some of those which were very pleasing to the audience were: The Soldier's Farewell, Frances Brown and Everett Lemoine. The Troubadour, Elaine Wallace and Harold Collis. Others were:- Old Black Joe, Robert Barkley. In the Gloainingf' Esther Wris en The Last Rose of Summer, Edith Cakebread. Several interesting charadcs were also presented by different ones of the uvpvr classes. After thc program, games were played and later dainty refreshments of ice cream and cake were served up-stairs in the banquet room. Next in order was the Seniors' Ball, Ilcceinher 20. 1912. The Masonic Hall was artistically decorated with holly ber- rics and mistletoe. IISI

At length the fiery steed arose And on again they started, XX lien lo. a creal-ting noise they heard, My lands! a shaft had parted! Out jumped the troubled trio. Their smiles had turned to fears, l-'or that shaft was splintered in such way, It wouldn't knit for years. Then Mary spoke up bravely, We've got to make it do.

THE LIBERTY IZICLL The excellent music given by the Oak- ley Orchestra guided our feet so that we kept perfect step without any effort on our part. About twelve o'c-lock a delightful sup- per was served at the Hotel. After which tl'e dancers returned to the hall. Danc- ing then continued until very early morn- ing when all went home declaring that there was never such a good time in Brent- v'ood. Very pretty posters the work of the art- ists ot' the class attracted much attention and did much in bringing the dancers which filled the hall. v The annual Junior Ball was given this year on April 4. 1913 at the Masonic Hall. The hall was very prettily decorated in the class colors lavender and white. The members of the class wore badges of the same color. Delightful music was given by the Brentwood Orchestra. At about twelve o'r-lock the grand march took place, led by Aileen Porter, president of the class. and Henry Plumley. An excellent repast of ice cream and cake was served up stairs. A few hours later the lights were put out and the dancers returned to their homes well satisfied with the good time. C v emo n.....o E191
