Another number of the program was a read- lng given by Miss Ballew of Clifton. These and other nu mbers constituted the program rendered. Immediately after it was finished every one went to the Beanery to spend the remainder of the evening. In all parts of the room, the colors of M. C. and also those of the Freshman class were seen. On the pedestals, in the center of the room, were ferns and cut flowers. Around the walls, seats for those present had been arranged. D After all the crowd had gathered the fun began. The first game played lwas, Where you are, What you are doing, and whom you have with you. As each person gave his report a roar of laughter would be sent up. As soon as h t e game had been finished c'Progressive Conversation was begun. This game gave many students a chance to become acquainted with those whom they had not met. These games were followed by many others and much fun was de- rived from them. 1 After the games delicious sandwiches and iced tea were served. The early part of the evening had been a grand success but after the refreshments had been served it was pronounced by all to be even a greater success.
