Following the reception, tea was served by members of the Student Council, and enter- tainment was provided by a style-show. Not to be outdone by the Student Council, the junior class sponsored a tea with the freshmen as guests of honor. After serving tea and colorful cakes, the juniors gave a quiz program.
