A long silence followed the last words of the city visitor, for she was too exhausted to go further, and Mrs. Green was so overcome by the ac- count that she could not reply. Finally, Mrs. Robbins rose and silently crossed the floor, but as she went through the door these words were heard: But Mrs. Green, I tell ye them pictures was wonderful. -DOROTHY EVANS. Joie! TRIBUTE TO THE FRESHMAN CLASS Blessings on thee, Freshman class, Each small lad and hearty lass. In the room you verdant glow, But into Sophomores you will grow. You are only fresh in school, Learning how to mind the rule. You must look in vain with pride At higher classmen by your side. Do you not think the color, green, The prettiest that you have seen- Has it not a place alone In the colors that you own- Are you in the least afraid Of the furious classmen's raid? XYe know just what it is to be Shunned and teased by classes three. But wait, dear Freshies, you've a chance, Next year to throw the poisoned lance. VVe hope the words that now we give- VVill with the Freshies ever live Once more we bless the Freshman class, Each small lad and hearty lass, And so we wish you-can you guess? Why this, we wish you all success. fWith apologies to John Greenleaf Whittieizj -RUSSELL CURL, '24. 1923i .

SOCIAL EVENTS THE RECEPTION. On September ll, 1922, a reception was given for the Faculty and Freshmen, by the Sophomores, juniors, and Seniors of the Mansfield Com- munity High School, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. j. W. Reardon. In the early part of the evening outside games were played in the spacious yard. During one of the running contests, one of the teachers received what seemed at first to be a fatal injury to her jaw and tongue. However, this proved to be a false alarm. XVhile most of us were playing, there were a few prepare ing for the initiation of the thirty-six Freshies. NVhen everything was ready, the upper classmen brought one by one, the high school infants with eyes blindfolded and hands tied behind them, into a room Where there was a large audience, for the yard had been deserted when the big event of the evening was announced. As the victims entered they could hear the sharp- ening of knives and other alarming noises, but they were told they need not fear, for the only thing they would bc compelled to do in order to be allowed membership in the High School, was to kiss a book three times. Smack-one. Smack-two. Smack-three: then peculiar noises were heard as if something didn't taste good. No! l donlt suppose it did, for the third time, there wasn't a book to kiss, but a pan of flour. By the time thirty-six candidates were dealt with in this way, it was time for the Eats Commit- tee to perform their duty- They scurried to the kitchen and brought guests a huge piece of a brick of ice cream and an assortment of cookies. After every one had nobly performed the task of eating, the clock said that it was time to think about going home as it would not be many hours until duty would be calling each and everyone to school. So the party ended. -DoRoTHA GORDON 23. BANQUETS Rah! rah! whoop-ce! A luncheon in honor of the M. C. H. S. basketball team. Each one invited to bring a guest. Yes, this includes the Faculty. Now isn't Miss Halliday the best sport to sponsor such an occasion? I'll say so-VVho says so? XVe all say so! On Vilednesday evening, january the 23rd, at six-thirty o'clock the guests arrived at Hills, where special tables were prettily decorated in pink and white for the occasion. As soon as every one had found his place card, and been seated, a twoscourse luncheon was served. The second half of the evening was spent at the Dauberman home. Pro- gressive Rook and Five Hundred were played until eleven-thirtyg then the party dispersed. It had been an enjoyable party, and each and every one had appreciated it to the utmost. f 1923
