L I LEWAIN 1926 L1 UNDERCLASS PARTIES Come on, Ye Frosh, the Sophs-are entertaining tonight. The Freshmen Hooked to the High School on the evening' of November 8, to be guests at their first party. 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.

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

LEWAIN 1926 ,..3?sL.eT-f ..... 4- THE SENIOR CHRISTMAS PARTY Th Class of '26 was entertained by Miss Pitney, their Class Ad- visor, at her home on December 17. Every one of the Seniors was present and enjoyed himself. They played games, worked puzzles, and won prizes, and were served a very effective and tasty lunch. It. was very informal, and entertainment consisted to some degree of talk, due to the lack of space for action. Eveything was decorated in Xmas greenery, and all the Seniors sported brand new pencils with Xmas ribbons attached, at school the next day. THE CHRISTMAS TREE PROGRAM Gee! I hope Santa doesn't forget me! Gosh! I've been a dandy student lately, and he ought to treat me nice. All this on the morning before our Xmas Tree, which was held on December 21. The Seniors brought in the time-honored tree and decorated it in all style possible. In return they were entertained by the other classes who put on some very peppy and enjoyable num- bers. The Underclassmen were certainly good when the curtain was raised for their acts. Ask the Seniors, they know. When the show was over, in bounded Santa Claus fresh from the North Pole, and everyone was busy thereafter unwrapping his belongings. Everything from fancy garters to iioor waxers was in order for presents that afternoon. There happened to be none this year that received fra- gile gifts wrapped in packages requiring sledge hammers to open them. Page forty-eight
