Lolswoe uN1oN men SFHOOL The L. U. H. S F RESHMAN RECEPTION Tl1e Freslnnan Reception was held September Ilth with all Freshies but two present. The new teachers, as well as thc Freshmen, were initiated. After initiation, games were playedg and then refreshments, first of cold, unsalted mac- aroni, then of cake and ice cream, were served. Everyone l1ad a marvelous time, and by the end of the evening the Soplnnores had decided that the Freshmen were certainly a game class. F RESHIVIAN RETURN PARTY Early in the year the Freslnnen gave the Sophomores the customary Return Partyi' of the year. The Freshmen showed their ability to entertain by very cleverly giving some Mother Goose rhymes in pantomine, after which we played games and were served light refreshments. We are all looking forward to the reception they will give us when we are Seniors, because it is sure to be a success. ALUMNI ACTIVITIES The activities of the Alumni occur rather spasmodically. These spasms generally take place in the spring, in the form of a senior reception. Last year, the reception was given the week before graduation, and was very unusual in many respects. All the college students were home at that time, and took part in the en- tertainment. The quaint costumes, songs and dances of the Far East lent charm and beauty to the program. The curtain went up the first time on an Oriental tab- leau-cherry blossoms, lanterns and gay cushions piled high against a back ground of black walls. The first number was a song by Mrs. Southard Swartz and a dance by eight lovely ladies in costume. This group then made way for two Chinese maids, Miss Lucille Rudolph and Miss Alverda Bendasher, who danced beautifully together. Miss Eva Jacobs. an accomplished pianist, played several selections, and her music was appreciated by every one. All these things took place during the intervals of the dance, which was the main feature of the evening. They were announced by a sheikish looking person, wrapped in a sheet, who claimed that all the Oriental ladies belong- ed to his haremg but you didn't fool us, Abe Klein. Refreshments were served from booths representing America in the age of the Indians, Hawaii and Japan. The effect of the decorations was very striking. After the dance, a business meeting was held for the purpose of electing new officers for the coming year. Lucille Nicoles was elected president, and VVilliam Negus, secretary and treasurer. Only one other meeting was held during this year and that was at the time of the Berkeley fire, when the homes and possessions of many students were re- duced to cinders. At that time a loan was made by the Loan Association of the Alumni to one of the victims of the fire. -Evelyn Arkley, '23. I2-5l
