REUNION OF 16 HE Class of 1916 has initiated an event that will no doubt be an important one in the school calendars of the future. 011 the seventh of August, they held a. Re- union in the Masonic Hall to which all Seniors and every- one who had been in the class were invited. The attend- ance showed that there was still the same feeling of friend- ship between the present members of the Senior Class and those who saw fit to drop out in their Sophomore or Junior years that had existed in their Freshman days. It was really gratifying to see the old Freshmen Class reassembled. A vote as to which was the most enjoyable, the punch or the dancing, would have probably resulted in a tie. FRESHMEN-SOPHOMORE PARTY S a result of the overwhelming victory of the Sopho- mores in the Freshman-Sophomore field meet, the Freshmen gave the victors a big Hallowe'en party in the school gym. It was the most successful affair ever given by any Freshman Class and certainly reheated credit upon their energy and industry. The gym was beautifully decorated with brightly colored autumn leaves, the red and black of the Goops, together with the regular Hallowe'en decorations. The 76 party was, of course, a masquerade and the costumes were varied, ingenious and, in many cases, elaborate. The entertainment consisted of jolly games, the very popular eats, and dancing. Every Freshman lost two- thirds of his greenness by the party, and the Sophomores are indebted to them for a royal good time. The aHair was a great success from every point of view, in spite of the Senior-Junior raid upon the Freshman cider and Sophomore President. Keep it up, Freebies!

u-ql J UNIOR-SENIOR DANCE THE Seniors freely admit that they are indebted to the Juniors for one of the best times of their lives. On Hallowe'en, the Seniors were the guests of the J uniors at a mask party given in the school gymnasimn. The gym was thoroughy decorated with many articles sug- gestive of the occasion, but the real decorations were the widely assorted costumes of the participants. The students, however, were not the only ones to get into the spirit of Hallowe'en, for the faculty was well represented. Mr. and Mrs. Merry were truly many, and the fact that Mr. Merry wore the knee breeches and silver buckles of Washingtonts time and that Mrs. Merry was suitably dressed to be his companion proves this Without a doubt. Miss Spilman took the cake. She looked younger than ever Cif that be possiblet for her hair was plaited down her back in regular t'schoolgirl style, and she was a queen in calico. One of the main features of the evening was the t'eats ea regular Dutch lunch, consisting of Schweitzer and wieners, pickles and-sh-h! l-and cider! SENIOR PARTY Friday evening, December the ninth, the Seniors gave a reception for the three lower classes, in the gymnasium. The guests divided their time between playing games, dancing, and drinking punch. Mr. and Mrs. Merry and Mr. Brubaker were the amiable, as well as vigilant, chaperones. 77
