L L W' A I N I 9 2 6 ,fi ggljlgif Q T-Q 4 Society THE FRESHMAN MIXER The Freshies gathered for their Razzin on September 18, at the High School. They certainly took their medicine like men and got many an ungentle shock. l,We must say they were a game little gang of infantsl The party was served with punch and ginger bread boy cookies and lolypops as desert. Many enjoyed popping their playmates on the head with their lolypops, but this was one place where the old rule holds good: It is far better to give than to re- ceive. Many went home with goose eggs on their heads. THE TRIP TO THE MOON Ah! If only our lips were not sealed against telling .what We did and saw on this marvelous trip on October 2. This little affair originated 'from the three different sides selling subscriptions to a number of magazines. Of course only one side could win, that being Milly 's. The others had to unite and furnish the transportation and supplies for the trip. NVe played many silly games but forgot Post-Office until it was too late. The party was served a grand banquet lunch consisting of hard tack and punch. UPPER-CLA SS PARTIES There was a peppy upper-class party staged at the High School Auditorium at Hollowe'en time, on -October 28. It was a costume affair, not a fancy dress ball, but nevertheless there were some of the latest and fanciest in costumes displayed that night. They played games until supper, having all the fun they could. The College cut-ups of the evening were Dick lVUueller or Gub- ber, the Tramp, Dick Carmichael as Lena, the Phoney Flapperf' Wilma Mueller as the Village Vamp, and Iva Bailey as the Sahara Shiekfl Side-line attractions were Clubber and Lena in their mean act and the Shiek and Sheba illustrating the latest in kisses. Dancing was enjoyed ia the Ballroom after refreshments were served. The Seniors returned the favor by entertaining the Juniors at a party on March 17, at the Dimmitt residence. The room was at- tractively decorated with shamrocks and green streamers. Games were played and dancing added interest to the party. All enjoyed watching their late colleagues perform the difficult feat of Kissing the Blarney Stone. Refreshments of shamrock ice cream and cake were served. Page forty-.viz

L ,,.4jZ,jE? TL'1 Tig iweppwgf 4 L E w A I N 1 9 2 6 as Kentucky Belle Qlwesenteci by the Senior Class, November 65 The setting of this play was in the Blue Grass region of Kentucky. Emilda Mae Sullivan, as Isabel Douglas, becomes very interested in a handsome young telephone lineman, in other words, Fred Daigneault. Her aunt, Mariah Douglas, announces the fact that Colonel McMillan, who has many ancestors and who is remarkably rich, is coming soon. Katharine Simmons portrayed this haughty, aristocratic old maid with great perfection. The dear Colonel had proposed to Isabel three times but on this occasion he is determined to have an answer. Dick Mueller, as the Colonel, greatly amused the audience, especially in his proposal to Isabel. At the critical moment, when he is about to ask her the question, much excitement is heard and the linemen carry in John Cason, unconscious. While John is convalescing, he and Isabel fall in love. They agree if her horse, Kentucky Belle wins the Derby, she will marry him and if he loses, she will marry the Colonel. The Colonel learns of this agreement through Marie Van Harlenger, a friend of Isabel's, and decides to propose to Aunt Mariah if the horse wins. Beryl Cunningham, as Marie, and her girl friends, Salena Rice, Vannetta Dimmitt anld Irene Germain, greatly surprised and amused the audience by their excellent chorus girl interpretations. Verne Offield, as Henry, and Pauline Ofiield, as Cindy, negro sweethearts, addied amusement to the play. Of course, Kentucky Belle wins and, just at the right moment, it is learned that John Cason Gordon is the hero's real name and that he is really a wealthy young writer. The dear Colonel consequently wins the hand of Aunt Mariah and John and Isabel are married and they live happily ever after. The performance was very much enjoyed by a very large crowd.

VVe know how they felt, we 've all gone through the mill. They were presented with dunce caps at the door and then dir- ected to the auditorium, where games were played. At 10 o'cloek the boys drew names for their supper partners and were served hot chocolate and pumpkin pie. Dancing was enjoyed the rest of the evening. But the Sophs declared the Fresh, being so green, did not know when they were having a good time. Cupid's Frolicf' a party giien by the Frosh in honor of the Sophs, was held on February 13, at the residence of Myrvin Dimmitt. It was a very hearty aifairg a Valentine Party. The decorations consisted of Valentine novelties and red crepe paper used in various ways. Dancing was an important feature of the evening' and at succes- sive intervals clever little favors were passed out to the guests. These consisted first of Valentines containing' hats and fortunes. Then candy hearts were next, on which were numbers. In this way corresponding numbers became partners for supper. Just before supper materials for one Valentine were passed to each boy, who, after making them, presented them to his supper partner. After supper the prize waltz was held and was won by Marvel McKean and Paul Catling. ' ' KNOW SCHOOL NIGHT This event was arranged December 4, so the parents and local public could come and get acquainted with the school and teachers. They were given the opportunity to see just what really mag'nifieent places our schools are, and where their children spend so much of their time. Guides were available to take the guests around and show and explain the buildings, equipment, etc. After the crowd had been taken through the buildings, all gathered in the Assembly room and were entertained with singing by Miss Douglass, and the chorus, and talks by the teachers.
