HIGH SCHOOL SENIOR BANQUET Oh, what a thrill to be a Senior! At least, that’s what wc thought when the Juniors called for us and escorted us to the lovely banquet at the Inn, Monday night. May 4th. The Juniors were very ingenious in carrying out our class colors. The table was charmingly decorated in green and pink, with centerpieces of real roses alternating with large paper roses filled with miniature diplo- mas. Leading from these to each Senior's plate was a green streamer at the end of which was a pink rosebud. Wc all appreciated the lovely toast given us by our Junior sisters, and our President made a very fitting response, expressing our regret at leaving our friends behind. These toasts were followed by in- teresting talk- and entertainments. The songs, piano solos, and readings were very appropriate and delightful, while wc all went into ecstasies of bliss at the clever class prophecy and our imaginary trip to Mars. All of the girls were beautifully dressed, and their broad smiles of expectation and delight matched their gay dresses. Such an array was never before seen reflected in Lake Susan. At the close of the banquet, we sang our Alma Mater, and each one was presented with a pink rosebud by her Junior sister. Next, we went into the lobby, where wc spent an hour in fun. Mr. Wood- ward reminded us, however, that we didn’t have a bell to send u- home, so as a hint to the wise was sufficient, we reluctantly departed and came back to dream of our jolly good time. We thank you, Juniors! v. p., l. it. THE MONTREAT NORMAL SCHOOL LIBRARY The Likkakv has grown to 2,800 volumes since being removed to the auditorium. It has been classified and catalogued. Now wc are confronted with the problem of getting enough books to meet the state requirement. Can you help us? Any gift — whether one book or a hundred — will help us reach our goal of 4,000 books. Wc need reference books of all kinds, especially in the college department. Any college text that has been used in history, psychol- ogy, sociology, economics, science, or English, can be used as refer- ence in both the college and high school departments. Our stock of fiction and biography is very low, as we have depended on the Cora A. Stone Library for this type of book. Books like Bradford’s “Lee, the American;’’ DcKruif’s Microbe Hunters; Durant’s “Story of Philosophy, would be very useful if we had them. Novel-, especial- ly historical and classical novels, will be very acceptable. Our Eng- lish shelf needs modern poetry, especially collections and essays. One striking lack (at least to the English teacher) is Stevenson’s essays. We shall be grateful for any a- istance. The Mountain f alluringly beekon one to partake of nature t charmt.

And. juit a short time ago, two program- were given In Mr-. Adam-' pupils. Mary Jonc and Margaret Hook, at “The Housc-in-thc-Woods.” The Choir, under the direction of Mr. Adams, has carried on nobly during the year, entering right into the real spirit of music, thus making every rehearsal count both for the regular church ser- vices and for these special events. DOMKSTIC SCIKNCK DKIWRTMKNT Saturday afternoon. May 23rd, found interested friends of the School viewing the evidences of careful study and planning, illus- trated by the Home Economics exhibit, the reception under the di- rection of Mrs. McLean. This was held from three to six, a fashion review being staged on the lawn in front of the Alba at four. The Young ladies, having donned the latest mode of suitable garment, whether sport uit or evening dress, thus attracted special attention and comment as they passed by in stately mein.
