a 0.. -. 2- .g. SENIOR RECEPTION 00 0:0 m. N March seventeenth, the Seniors gave their reception to the rest of the school, and it was, without doubt: the most successful dinner-dance ever given in M. H. S. More than sixty couples were present, and a splendid time was enjoyed by all. At four o'clock, the Juniors met the rest of the school in a hotly contested game for the basket-ball championship of M. H. 8., winning by the score of 22-17. The Seniors met the 10 A's and were defeated by a score of 28-13, after a vain but gallant struggle. Dinner was served at six o'clock in the school audi- torium by the Senior girls. The room was tastefully decorated in green and White in remembrance of the day. After the dinner, the entire party adjourned to the gymnasium, where dancing was the major attraction for the remainder of the evening. That the party was en! joyed by all was evident by the hearty cheers given the Seniors by their guests.

o e. c' O .3 ; .0 F ATHERtS NIGHT N Wednesday evening, February 16, 1916, the Mothers, Club entertained the fathers with a delightful program at the Madisonville School auditorium. That the invitation was appreciated was shown by the many fathers who responded. The house was filled to the last seat. The opening address was made by Mrs. Arnold, President of the Mothers, Club. First on the program were two selections sung by the High School Girls' Glee Club, under the direction of Prof. J. Surdo. The High School Orchestra, under the direction of Prof. Surdo, rendered four numbers, which were well received by all. The Bluffers, a two-act comedy given by the Girlsi Dramatic Club, was most successful, each character taking her part very well. After the play, ice cream and cake were served by the members of the Glee Club in the Corridor. FANNYtS SERVANT PROBLEM A poor relation .............. is a preposterous shadow, length;- mi'ng in the noontide of your prosperity - an unwelcome renwmbrance - a perpetually recurring modification - a drawback to success. HE members of the Girlsi Dramatic Club just heaped glory on themselves by their excellent presentation of Fannyis Servant ProblemH on the evening of December tenth. The play proved to be decidedly satisfactory to the audience, and this was no doubt due to the fact that a well-known truth was emphasized in a very humorous way. Fanny, who has started a career as an actress, against the wishes of her relatives, falls in love with and marries Lord Bantock, thus raising herself to a high position. When she comes to her new home, she finds, 79 in her retinue of servants, her relatives-twenty-nine of themwready to be a drawback to all her aspirations. Lady Bantock and her relative-servantsii find themselves figuring in many ludicrous positions during the play, and before the final curtain drops, the trouble clouds have all blown over and all has ended well. The Seniors are proud of the fact that the two leading parts were taken by members of their class. Miss Elizabeth Dunham as Fanny and Miss Helen Knight as Lord Bantock, interpreted. their parts perfectly, and they were ably supported by an exceptionally strong cast. Much of the credit for the success of the production must be given to Miss Stoehr, the director of the Dramatic Club.
