 0 ¥k V’ M ' { a ’THE 4920 EMF' —-•• . y, ,., ' ■ ' PRESIDENT WERWATH’S PICNIC One day in June, a notice was circulated among: the faculty and the members of the organization, to the effect that President and Mrs. Wcr- wath were inviting the entire staff to attend a house warming and picnic at their new summer home at Little Cedar on July 6th. The notice also stated that transportation would be provided for everyone. Everyone looked forward with enthusiasm to July 6th and when the day finally arrived all were ready for what the day would bring. It was de- cided that the school would be the best meeting place and there it was that the fifteen machines waited for their passengers. The parade of automobiles started about 9:30 in the morning and without any more serious mishaps than a few blow-outs and dry oil pans the party arrived at its destination about twelve o’clock. On the picnic grounds there were amusements to satisfy every tempera- ment. There was swimming, rowing, dancing and games. At one o’clock the crowd, which was distributed over the entire grounds, was called to- gether for lunch and no one hesitated about going to the outdoor dining room where Mother Cassidy and her able staff presided. It goes without saying that the lunch was excellent and there was enough to satisfy the heartiest appetite. After lunch, those of the children who were old enough to dispense with the customary afternoon nap, organized a parade under the direction of Mr. Hartman and Miss Shapiro. They donned fancy caps and marched around the grounds to the beats of the School of Engineering drum. When the parade had tired them out they decided to play games and in this way amused themselves for the major part of the afternoon. The older members of the party swam, rowed or danced, each to his or her own liking and when supper time came they had exercised enough to be ready for another good meal. About seven-thirty the party began to break up and anyone who did not have a good time can blame only himself. President and Mrs. Werwath are to be congratulated upon the success of their party and the entire staff joins in thanking them for the splendid time they had as their guests.

k 0 0J' % -- 11920 IEMF- jflKS r» X ---2i “FRESHMEN’S BAWL” On October 18, 1919, the first fraternity dance of the season took place at the Athenaeum. The dance was primarily for the purpose of introducing the freshmen to the other men of the school, but, as sometimes happens, the guests of honor did not arrive. With the exception of a very few, those who attended the dance were upper classmen. The absence of the freshmen, al- though regretted, did not tend to dampen the spirits of those who were there, and the dance proved very successful from the standpoint of a good time. The Chaperones of the party were: Mr. and Mrs. W. C. Hartman, Mr. and Mrs. Brown, Mr. and Mrs. F. A. Vaughn, and Captain Ristine. Gerber’s orchestra furnished the music. SECOND ANNUAL CARNIVAL DANCE The second annual carnival dance of the fraternity took place at the Milwaukee Athletic Club on January 30, 1920. The customary confetti and colored ribbon streamers were very much in evidence and those who did not get “filled” with confetti were fortunate, because there was enough there for an entire city to properly celebrate New Year’s Eve. The sedate members of the faculty were not even exempt from the confetti war that was waged and in order to protect themselves had to enter into the scrap. The Metropolitan Dance Orchestra of which Edward Rogers, Term 9. is a member, furnished splendid music for the dancing and when the music stopped at twelve o’clock there wasn’t a person in the hall who hadn’t thor- oughly enjoyed the evening. The following faculty members attended: Mr. Hartman. Mr. Kicnth, Mr. Koch, and Miss Shapiro. 1 i M ill i iff n Page Four Hundred Sixteen
