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

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.

5333 'Q-71 L E W A I N l 9 2 6 THE JUNIOR PARTY Some of the members missed out on the best time of the year when they didn't come to the Valentine Party at Mr. and Mrs. Lemon's home. The living room was decorated with crimson and white hearts which incidently are the class colors as well as symbolic of Valen- tine's Day. Guests were received in keeping with the day by being intro- duced to the Queen and Princess of Hearts and given a souvenier photograph. A series of very interesting games of varying types followed in which points were earned for the prize. The jar of hearts brought out considerable variation in guesses at the number of hearts contained, and Sally Mueller proved the best guesser. Refreshments consisted of sandwiches, cake, jello with whipped cream, and punch, the class color scheme being observed in these as well. While doing justice to the food, the points were added up. Dick Carmichael had the highest numbler of points and earned a clever prize for his efforts. The evening ended with song. GO 'l'O SCHOOL NIGHTH On the afternoon of March 5, school was dismissed early, with orders for all who could, to be present in the evening and attend the classes that had been arranged. Parents and friends were in- vited and in this way the parents and people of the town could see the students at work and observe how the classes are conducted. Afterward, assembly was called and entertainment was furnished by the chorus. Mr. Gannon entertained with several readings, which were very much enjoyed, judging by the applause. Last, but not least, Smoky Francis gave an exhibition of the Charleston, which brought down the house. Before the crowd dispersed, refreshments were served from the dining room. Page forty-nine
