THE MEDINIAN £g»W l I SOCIAL ACTIVITIES By Jeanne Halderson SENIOR PARTY The Senior Class Party was held January, seventeenth, 1934, in the high school auditorium. Hartman’s Orchestra played sweet accompaniments while we tripped gaily on each others toes. I haven’t been able to come to an agreement with Mr. Claggett on the number of necks that were broken in the “circle two steps,” so I’m sorry to say, an accurate count can’t be given. The boys turned domestic when it came to helping with the dishes. Everyone agreed that it was the most successful party ever given by our class. — By Joyce Wolfe. JUNIOR PARTY The Junior Class held its annual class party on Friday night, March tenth, at the high school. The committees provided worthwhile and exciting games for the large crowd which attended. Dancing followed the games, the music being furnished by Betty Jane Ryan’s orchestra, and everybody participated (something very unusual) . Light refreshments were served before the party broke up.— -By Maynard Pelton. SOPHOMORE PARTY A new form of etiquette was introduced at the beginning of our Sophomore Class Party, April sixth. The girls started things off with a bang by asking the bashful boys to dance. With the aid of their charming personalities, they soon had the boys dancing, beginners and all. The music was furnished by a smooth, nine-piece orchestra. The delicious pie-a-la-mode, which was served late in the evening disappeared quickly. — By Bill Nosker. FRESHMAN PARTY The Freshman Class Party was held Wednesday, April eleventh, at seven-thirty o’clock. Between seventy and eighty attended. The party started off with good games and the evening was spent in the so-called art of “learning to dance.” Delicious refreshments were served and the party broke up about ten-thirty-five P. M. Each one whose feet permitted, then departed for home-sweet-home, feeling that his first party had been a success. — By Jane Thompson. o EuAliA] tlrAiltoi V Twenty ' Six

1 p a a a ATHLETIC PARTY On March fifth, Mr. and Mrs. Conkle gave an athletic party in honor of both the girls’ and boys’ basketball squad, who won from the New London teams, and for the football and track teams. The prettily decorated tables were laden with delicious food which was tremeiv dously enjoyed by all. After everyone had eaten more than usual, Mr. Masi led in some rousing songs and cheers for the host and hostess. Some played cards and many had their first “tryout” at dancing so there were many sore toes and soiled shoes the next day. “CY” Thomas, under compulsion, gave a tap dance, which added much to the entertainment. — By Lillian Socha. GIRL ' S BASKETBALL PARTY The night of the Girls Basketball squad party was a gay one. The party was held at Velma Kelser’s on December twenty ' first. We all arrived about eight o’clock. The first part of the evening was spent in playing cootie, followed by various other games, until a call from the kitchen announced that the refreshments were ready. We were served chicken patty shells with plenty of cake, ice cream, and candy. After eating, we presented Miss Allen with a gift from all the girls. We concluded the evening by talking until eventually the party broke up. — By Olive Beedlc. THE TEACHER ' S PARTY The Faculty and Board Members had their annual party in November. After having finished a three course dinner, served by the high school teachers, the party adjourned to the gym floor. There, two baseball teams were organised, one made up of women, and one of men. When the baseball game was over, a balloon stunt was given by the men. The rest of the evening was spent playing bridge and other card games. — By Margery Conkle. firSYir?svir sMi7Svir svirr Mr« Twenty-Seven
