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

THE LIBERTY BELL QQ Qui limiting :funn By ESTHER MURPHY, 'l4. Oh hello, how did you ever get back so soon? Well you see, mother wasn't home so l just ate a bite and ran. But, oh dear! I have to study, how I wish I didn't. Oh, don't study now, let's do some- thing exciting. Yes do, same a cry from a jolly bunch of girls and boys in the hall. What's all this about, asked Myra as she appeared on the scene. We're going to do something real ex- citing, came the reply, for you know the l'niversity Inspector came, the eleven o'cloek train was so late, he just got here. And the Professor had to take him to the hotel for lunch, put in Emma, for you know even the wise have to eat. He had to leave the students alone. the other teachers had gone to their lunch already. Hurrah! Not a one of them will be back until almost one, shouted Walter. My, what a jolly time we will have this noon, said Vernon. his eyes sparkl- ing with mischief. l.et's have a watermelon feed, sug- gested Susie who was always fond of eat- ing. Sure, I'm terribly hungry For water- melon, piped up a little Freshie. I'm afraid: what if we get caught? spoke up another thoughtful one. Oh, nonsense, come on for a good time, was the reply. So up town Harold and Everett who were ever ready for fun went to purchase At the foot of the stairs how- tue melon. ever, they were joined by Roy. A tew little Freshies ran out on the porch to watch for their return. Sudden- ly one burst in the door crying. Come on and look girls, they must be bringing the whole store. The girls madly rushed to the door and saw the boys nearing the gate, carry- ing two large melons. Now the question arose where the mel- ous should be eaten. Let's eat them on the stairs, sug- gested one of the boys. No, it is too sunny out there, we will all spoil our complexionsf' said Frances thoughtfully. We can eat them in the hall, and put all the rinds in the coal scuttle, put in Ruth. ln the stove why dou't you say, chip- ped in the mischievous Fred. lf we eat on the steps. we will surely get them dirty with the seeds and rinds. Then, oh my! What a lecture we will get. spoke up a Sophomore. But we have been forbidden to eat in the hall, said a wise Senior. E211
